Carlton Banks has a relatively well-to-do father - Uncle Phil played by the late James Avery - and his family lives in a wealthy L.A. neighborhood known as Bel-Air. Oh yeah the full title of the program is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Basically this D.P. had a severe issue with Carlton's background and truth be told Carlton didn't help himself as he saw nothing wrong with his class - and reality is there is nothing wrong with it. The D.P. just thought poor = Black and if you're not poor as a Black person then you're a sell-out.
Anyway Ben Shapiro is the type that if you come for him you come ready. He will have an answer for any half-baked theory you will throw at him. So he addresses issues of income inequality or systemic racism. Both are issues that are set up to the point where there can be no possible solution for either. If the racism lives within the American system it's very hard to really solve the issue and it seems set up to state that we need to change the system.
As far as income inequality, well I think Shapiro sets this up in the right way. You can make more money if you pursue study in a field that will yield a good income - for example a STEM field. If you study a soft field like liberal arts major then you might have a hard time. If you have children out of wedlock - or better yet when you're not "ready" - then you might have a hard time. We can pass all the laws we want whether minimum wage or anything if you want to make more money you have to put in the work whether you go back to school or find a higher paying job or whatever.
So the idea of being "poor or white" or "Black or rich" reputedly stated by Democrat nominee for POTUS Joe Biden on the campaign trial is nothing new. It's just too bad that he's stated this publicly. [VIDEO]
