To succeed, I believe that American needs to become a multiracial, multicultural democracy. Unfortunately, I see the human condition standing defiantly in the way of that necessity.

Humans are constructed to always want more. Meaning that the smartest and most aggressively ruthless will alway move to the top of the economic, political power pyramid.

And so throughout history it has always worked out that there are a very few super wealthy and influential folks dominating the rest of the not so well-off masses.

I will leave it up to others to explain how "White" people mostly got the jump on people of color when it came to wealth and influence.
