No, YOU don't get out that easily. To the question of "Why are blacks, on average, notably poorer than whites?", you are the one who stated that the two possible answers are either it's because they are somehow inferior or a result of slavery and subsequent repression after which you then stated "If it's the latter, however, one could argue that, seing as it was this nation's fault for creating the situation, we should do something to fix it."

at no point did you allow for the possibility that social engineering by a large bureaucratic government might hinder rectification of the situation which prompted my bringing up that possibility with the implication that the people were better suited to fix the problem if the government would get out of the way, I even provided a URL to an essay that had statistics to support the notion, instead of addressing the idea, you demand a proposal from me, presume an answer of "do nothing" and then make some insane leap to a caste system

until you:

1. address the possibility that social engineering by the government might be ineffective
2. address the statistics in the given URL that suggest black Americans were making better progress before Johnson's "government help" and
3. bridge the gulf between, the idea that people and society can better rectify the situation without government interference, and "If your answer is "do nothing", we might as well go ahead and call it a caste system."

I will give you nothing further as all of your posts lead me to the conclusion that you are a bigot and any further discussions with you would be a waste of time.
