Neither of them. I think they'd both crash and burn miserably.

I think they probably would both crash and burn.
With that said, however, one would have an easier time in school and with the courts.

Nationally, sure. I doubt there is a big difference between a school in Alabama that serves a poor community and a school in Harlam that serves a poor community, however. There is a disparity, but I don't think it is based on racial lines. It is based on income and where you live. I'm not saying that there aren't more white people in better situations than other races. I am saying, in response to Cwolff, that just because you are white doesn't mean you can't be victimized or that your color will automatically make you win at things.
That would just be racist.
At least Methais can agree that it's a slur.Quote:

You're trying to disprove what Methais said yet it sounds like you're proving his point.
"Whites complain about catching a tough break in life? Well that's just tough shit! They are obviously lazy and stupid because they had every advantage in life!"
Now imagine if we just changed the word "whites" to "blacks" and a Republican said it...WOO BOY! Would we be hear "racist" being screamed over and over again.
Oh, definitely. Keep in mind though that 63% of the US population is white with 10% of that in poverty, while blacks make up 12% population and have a poverty rate of almost 30%. It might be true that there are more white Americans living in poverty than blacks, however the poverty rate is much higher among blacks and other demographics.
