C'mon John, stop making me defend Scott, it's really annoying. (while he did
correctly point out that no one is perfect, he forgot to add that some of us
are closer than others)

He merely pointed out that still, even after all the progress that we've
made in this country, it helps to be white. That's wrong. Plain and simple.
How to fix it? I dunno. It's clear (to me anyway) that welfare and
affirmative action, are at this point, making things worse rather than better.
He also pointed out that it helps to be rich. I'm OK with that. Well, sort
of OK anyway. There's good honest rich and not so good dishonest rich. Up
with the former, from which all good things flow, and down with the latter.
