This, I think, is one of the key areas where the Left goes wrong.
They seem to see the world as a Zero-sum game. The only reason I can possibly have "stuff" is because I stole it from you. I guess wealth cannot increase. I guess I cannot add value. No. All of my stuff has simply been stolen from you.
So, if you look around and see successful white people, that means that they have robbed black people. That's how this zero-sum game works.
Now, the Left realizes that making black people all become rich and successful is not something that the Left is capable of. And so, to balance things, the Left's primary goal seems to be to stop the rich from living good lives. Take stuff away from hard-working, successful people. Make white people miserable. That's the "solution" that the Left offers.
” students from private, nonreligious high schools... were twice as likely to be admitted as similar students — those with the same SAT scores, race, gender and parental income — from public schools in high-income neighborhoods”
It is likely that students in private school are given more hours of instruction, more homework, and better instruction, so that they are more articulate, know more languages, and generally better educated. Otherwise the money spent on private school would be wasted. Also, extracurricular sports is required at many private schools. They are studying and working out until 5:30 while the public school kids are playing video games or worse.
