I can recall The Founder discussing this topic a lot.

This is particularly a problem in America, the land where everyone is everyone else's rival.

In America the name of the game is sex against sex, religion against religion, LGBT against straight, race against race, class against class. Everyone is a rival for status and access to resources.

Even though I won the race to the top, I grew tired of the cattiness, the backstabbing, the coups d'etat for power and the constant shots from below and across.

Life is better when you are your own boss and living where you are unquestionably at the top of the local food chain. Come join me abroad fellows. It will make you forget about that failing "land of rivals."

Right, the problem correctly stated so what is the solution? Given that America was created by white men, isn’t the solution to expel or suppress people resisting the hegemony of white men? Isn’t that what you would say if you were a white man?

You mean even though you were handed things for being black.

Unfortunately most people don’t have the gibs to do that.
