Question--so in essence, are you implying that any attempt to do so is fundamentally hopeless?
That said, are you suggesting that the 'playing field', as it is, where certain groups have historically benefited off the plight and subjugation of others be left as is?
People--pay attention because Burns has, knowingly or unknowingly, exhibited rational that proves why and how America is such a screwed up Nation. Additionally, a statement to the tune of "let's not bother trying to level the playing field" is undeniable evidence of having lived (past and present) a privileged life--racial wise, religion wise, gender wise, sexual orientation wise--whatever the case may be.
Like I said, I'm presently on my phone (in the train) so I can't type/say as much as I would had I been on a computer. But best believe I'll add two more cents when I get back home.

Just stop already.
The relentless vilification is past old at this point; borderline trolling.
The big difference between you and I is that I think America is a great, noble nation that has flaws like any other, while you think it's an unjust nation that needs rebooted. I advocate for individual talent and hard work. You're suggesting, I think, that instead of people doing their part to lift themselves up, others must be brought lower. The days of everybody getting a trophy whether or not they participate have got to stop if we're going to survive as a nation and as a people.
Difference of viewpoint, that's all.
Calm down now.
Frankly, I'm not going to play White House Spokesman, generating responses for every grenade lobbed.
I see people asking plenty but explaining nothing themselves. Why don't some other people spend some time thinking about what problems over the past 50 years the Democrats played a part in?
Or the thread can just die and we'll move on. The conversation is running in a loop at this point.
