I edited that post, because I don't think I said what I wanted to in the original. :o
I'm not saying it's impossible to become successful if your parents, grandparents,great grandparents etc.successful or it's impossible to move up in class, I'm just saying that I believe a strong lineage is an advantage which in the event of a tie for a job, I think the black person should get it.
Well native americans weren't enslaved they were just killed outright. Good point though, sadly racism will always effect society.
