You have it backwards. They are the privileged citizens. Ever heard of Affirmative Action?

Many are killed by other blacks and latinos. Others get thrown in jail because they get caught committing crimes. How is that anyone's fault but their own?

-Americans don’t have enough intellectual capacity to distinguish CIA and Bushes propaganda from the real life around them. The voice of few remained intellectuals can not be heard because majority of American people are hypnotized and overwhelmed by materialism, social Darwinism and cruel inhuman capitalism that make them incapacitated to communicate with the rest of the world in the manner of civilized people. Even if you are considered as a winner, It is not necessary to oppress and kill people to feel safe, you also can talk to them with minimum mutual respect.
What is wrong with materialism and "cruel and inhuman" capitalism? Is it inhuman to expect people to EARN their money/possessions? If the last sentence is about Iraq, then I understand your point.
