pan, at the risk of turning this into another discussion about how your opinion is just your opinion and is simply not up for any sort of modification or education and we're just picking on you by addressing your opinion on its merits:

Do you have any education (formal or otherwise) with regards to macro-level social change, equality, 'the achievement gap' (education), opportunity differences between races in America, 'the glass ceiling' or even 'racism'?

No offense to your opinion or anyone else with the same opinion, but I think it's a bit hard to postulate a 'solution' for a disparity of wealth, clearly drawn along racial lines, without any experience with the above, particularly exposure to 'solutions' attempted in the past that have and haven't worked. Certainly hard to make those 'solutions' credible, at least. Anyone can pontificate about how to 'solve' this problem (which, by the way, the conservative solution is "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps"), but valuable solutions are advanced by those with the experience, education or rhetoric to defend why their solution is better than any other solution. Rhetorically, why should we believe your solution has greater efficacy than a solution that addresses the issue at its root causes?
