It's not that black and white

Inequality must exist in some form, yes, but it shouldn't exist to the extreme we live in today. It's fair for people who are smarter and more focused to do better but people deserve the same opportunities and that does not exist currently.

Oh god not this Social Darwinism type logic I thought we left this in the 19th century when we realized hey maybe black people shouldn't be enslaved

Inequality is inevitable, but we should do all we can to close the gap.

It could be the economy, social issues, etc.

charming. i'm actually a really nice person irl but ok.

blah blah blah, socialism is unrealistic

if said person is dying on the streets of course we should help them, it's in our moral fibre to do so. but if you messed up school, get a **** job and then complain that the system screwed you over, you should learn what accountability is.

What's that got to do with race. I'm talking about animals, the weather, wealth, live stock. If every living thing on this planet was equal things would quickly fall apart. Steps/levels exist for a reason. It's sad that we don't live in a fairy tale land, but it's reality.

This is like asking if human force is a bad thing and citing weightlifting as an example to illustrate a benign extension of it. But human force is too broad a term to readily comment on its inherent value: human force toward what, the earth? Other people? My door that gets stuck each time I try to open it? The context here matters.

this view is so stupid and something that only pretentious and insecure losers think.

the vast majority of people are able in some ways and not in others. so a person that has difficulty with ability-related things in general could actually be a great lawyer if legal matters were one of the things they're good at.

there are people who are generally better at things overall, but most people are about the same. even IQ tests aren't as simple as you say. an IQ test has a few categories, and the score you get is overall - but the overall score doesn't tell you the individual differences. like, let's say you got a terrible score on visual/spacial intelligence, but in another form of intelligence you were incredibly good. your score would still not be very high, but that wouldn't fully represent your abilities.

like, i consider myself decently smart because i'm a narcissist, but there are some things i'll never be good at. there are other things, though, that i'm better at than most people. so i'll get a career in the things i excel at and not in the others. there. problem solved.

splitting the world into "able" and "unable" is dumb and incredibly judgmental. i hate this attitude. ugh.

Exactly

I was just at church last week (don't ask why) and the pastor was talking about David and Solomon.

I'm not getting into the whole story, but basically the son (Solomon) was blessed with riches while David was poor. Both had their place in society. The poor (middle class) makes the rich richer. The riches' (Top 1% for example) job is to put that same money back into society. It's all a full circle.

EDIT: This story may be a bit wrong, but you get the point.

yep. i think on average 3% of the top earners in a country pay the most taxes that cover a range of public services. we should be thankful for them

i also accept the fact that i have an IQ of 82 and im probably going to work in burgerking for the rest of my life. im fine with it because this is reality

lol, my neo nazist friend thinks like that.

Firstly IQ tests and all the IQ concept, like most of standardized tests is really flawed. You cant categorize people by it, most people have different talents.

and how can people from poor countries compete with the others when they dont have a chance for a good education?
