The flaw in your thinking is that you don't consider where culture comes from. If you have rich parents who can send you to college, don't you think that might have an effect on your "culture", what occupation you go into, and how successful you are at it? Similarly, if you and most people you know had single moms working multiple minimum wage jobs just to put food on the table, don't you think that might affect your "culture" (and occupation and financial success)?
Nothing comes from a void, our history affects all of us deeply.

Oh so poor white working class families don't exist?
its becoming more and more clear that you see white people as wealthy and black people as poor and actually are the racist here.
The descriptions you have of both white and black people in the last few posts are alarmingly casually racist. I suspect you know this and the reason you're a social justice warrior right now is to balance the behavior you have had in the past.
That's ok though, admitting that you're a casual racist is a huge step for a lefty. But what you need to understand is that righties don't think the same way, we don't see black people as victims or criminals, we see them as Americans. So when you tell us that we're racist or that society is racist as a collective then we get upset, because in our circles it's not true.
But what you're actually saying is that YOU are racist and you need to change, and that's cool, we agree.
I suggest taking a road trip around the country, it might change your opinion about how well off white oeople have it and how much of a victim black peoples are.
You might find out neither are true.
