What fantasy world are you living in? Race is a constant issue that has yet to be resolved in many communities.jigs said:goodpasture, there is no unwarranted advantage. if there is an advantage now it is to women and blacks. the most penalized person alive today is the white man.
.......bankruptcy data reveal a disturbing story of Hispanic and black middle classes that are at greater risk for economic collapse than their white counterparts. Bankruptcy is a middle class phenomenon, a place of escape for those who have good jobs, established credit, accumulated assets, and suffered sharp reversals. Hispanic and black families are no exception; those in bankruptcy are disproportionately middle class when measured by education, occupation, and homeownership. Even so, Hispanic families are nearly twice as likely to file for bankruptcy as their white neighbors, and black families are three times more likely to file.
The bankruptcy data expose even greater racial disparities among homeowners-those who have achieved the most tangible sign of participation in the middle class. Hispanic and black homeowners face sharply increased risks of filing for bankruptcy as compared to their white counterparts. The immediate reasons that trigger a bankruptcy filing-job loss, medical problems, and family breakup-are remarkably similar among all three racial groups, which suggests that their financial problems are not isolated to a single, identifiable event but that a more widespread vulnerability of families of color is at work. These data may suggest more pervasive job difficulties and more trouble financing medical care. Perhaps more critically, the data presented here are consistent with other reports that suggest racial minorities are singled out for predatory loans and other subprime credit that drain billions of dollars out of the pockets of these families and push them into financial collapse.

It is not my job to educate you, I can only point the way for you to educate yourself, but this is simply one aspect of racism that white guys like you and me rarely see or comprehend. If you cannot see the difference between the KKK and NAACP, then I feel sorry for you wallowing in your ignorance. You should be aware that you really are a major part of the problem that prevents the playing field from becoming level.......where a person of talent and ingenuity can achieve success regardless or race or gender.
