I never made any of those arguments.

All things being equal blacks suffer more discrimination than whites, women face more discrimination than men, and gay people suffer more discrimination than straight people.  The existence of rich black people does not mean there is no problem with racism in America.  And even though Anderson Cooper is rich as hell he would not have been allowed to get married to another man until 2015.  Now we have Kamala Harris who everyone here seems to agree is fully qualified to be Vice President, but a certain group keep claiming she got the job "just because she is a woman".
