Good discussion. I think it IS true.
There are people with white skin who will never make money and this is true of all coloured skins. There are white people from a lower "class" of society who will never make money, and this is also true of all colour types. It is not the colour of skin or the position in society that determines who will and who will not make money.
I believe (in most countries, but probably not all) it is POSSIBLE for anyone, in any society, of any colour skin, to rise above their situation and to become productive and prosperous. It has been done. It is what is INSIDE the person that makes a difference, but the overriding fact is that most people who are in a low socio-economic environment, do not have the aptitude to get themselves out of it.
It is also true to say that people who are born into a wealthy, upper class, white family can end up bankrupt and even derelict.
I would have to conclude that colour of skin and class do not determine wealth. People who seek and find opportunities and use them wisely can rise above any situation.

Thank you for your comment. However what I meant is not people who discriminate against others; however if money, if you consider it as a living thing, would not discriminate against anyone.

Yes, I believe in that, money goes to anybody who got what it takes to have them.
