There will never be an equality in the classes as long as the progeny of the rich former slave masters continue to judge the progeny of the slaves for living in poverty. Millionaires, whose wealth may have started from the backs/lives of others, can never fathom the harsh reality of being broke unless their families are put thru the same realities as generations of those whose ancestors who were released, but never had anything.  Even children are given something once they venture out on their own. Freed slaves were given nothing.

Zero plus zero will always equal zero.
