Okay, okay. The last frontier
that matters.

To have
equal rights, you have to deal first with
inequality. As white men, you and I have precious little to complain about, and a lot to be responsible for. If there's going to be equality, it's going to take us reaching down from our pedestal and pulling others up to our level.
There are people who don't want to deal with that. People for whom the whole notion that white males are a privileged class is impossible to accept (probably because it means relinquishing the privilege). As a society, dealing with that is optional, and we choose not to deal with it at the cost of forever having divisions in our society. There are people who are good with that. I'm not one of them.
