Wrong, have you ever tried to get financial aid for school? Hint; if you come from middle class money good luck. If you come from nothing you will get the money.

No one can stop you from becoming successful here. It doesn't mean you will be you have every right and every opportunity.
The poorest kid in America still gets free school and a shot at going to college.

Agree completely. I was a victim of the "barely middle class so no grant for you".

I'm more referring to the judicial system. Private prisons, felons unable to vote, war on drugs, etc

But again, I'm going back to football. Y'all have fun in here. Ima enjoy this Friday.

Okay, but are you going to pretend that that middle class kid that went to a suburban public school the churns out quality students every year didn't have more opportunity than the poor kid born into a single parent home and went to an inner city school barely meeting the state benchmark requirements?

My point is some are born into a situation where there are more hurdles for them to clear to be successful. Some are born into a situation where there are no hurdles and they're handed everything in life by their wealthy parents and family. In a country where we often measure success by one's attained wealth, opportunity is far from equal. To pretend it is is ignorant.
