Anyway, I guess we've gone way off topic so I'll limit my commentary.
Yeah, let's all cut the bull. You can make any excuses you want for the statistics. But in the end, what Polizzio said is spot on. Ask Bill Cosby or Dr. Ben Carson what they think of your "disenfranchisement" argument.

Anyone who tries to argue that ethnic minorities have LESS opportunity or handouts in this day and age is delusional. In general, Those who work hard, are honest and ethical eventually succeed. Those who commit the crimes (regardless of color) usually don't succeed in the long run.

It's that simple, and it's time to stop making excuses for bad choices in life. I wasn't born privileged. I worked hard for what I have and am sick and tired of folks blaming their lot in life on things that happened to their grandparents.
