In other words, every shade of brown share equally in poverty and misery.

I agree. We've come full circle.

Is there any advantage at all to being born white and unconnected in the United States in your opinion?
You hit it right on the head. Working class white people are the "slaves" of modern life--with government TAKING whatever it wants from your paycheck before you ever see it, you don't even own your own labor.

And frankly, anyone still working and earning a decent income after Obamacare hits is either desperate or nuts. You're running on the hamster wheel, watching life waste away, while everyone else feeds at the trough of Big Government.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Galt out!

Exactly! No clue what race has to do with it, but working class is getting crushed from above and below.

None. The blacks do get some help, but not compared to the advantages CONNECTIONS provides..... if you are born into an upper middle class mileau....

I think if you're white, married, a father, and even slightly religious, or worse "conservative"... then you are totally screwed. That's how far we've progressed.

Well, I guess that I'm screwed!

With parasitic disloyal American corporations taking the jobs and assigning them to slave labor over seas - I would say what is left of the white working class is pretty much screwed...Say thanks to the companies that your blue collar parents and grand parents built with their sweat...Most of the people I see in the old hotel across the street who are hunkered down and on welfare are the grown children of the old white blue collar class...who have been abandoned and stored till they die...YEP- America and Canada are slowly killing you...

Whining and feeling sorry for oneself is a recipe for failure.
