I'll also go ahead and ignore your misplaced sense of pity simply because you are so desperate to believe in the honesty of man when ALL evidence demonstrates there is no honesty in capitalism.

And there's honesty in Communism or whatever system you're advocating??? Tell that to the folks that died in the Gulags. As for my failure to "grasp the affects (sic) of ongoing generational oppression upon large groups of people", well, hate to tell you this, but I'll take the guy who said this:

"What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! If you see him on his way to school, let him alone -- don't disturb him. If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot-box, let him alone, -- don't disturb him! If you see him going into a workshop, just let him alone, -- your interference is doing him a positive injury....Let him fall if he cannot stand alone! If the Negro cannot live by the line of eternal justice,...the fault will not be yours; it will be his who made the Negro, and established that line for his government. Let him live or die by that.

over your opinion on race relations any day. History has judged him, and it was 4.0s all the way.
