America’s White Fragility Complex The concept that all men are created equal and have the right to Life‚ Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness‚ is true if you were born a white‚ upper class male. If you were born of another gender or of a different skin color‚ or both‚ you face an uphill battle to thrive‚ let alone survive.
