I still profoundly dislike the unequal American system. Yet, despite this, I have learned to love the country’s unrealized project

"Unequal American System"?   We are born equal... We have equal opportunity... but, equal results are not guaranteed.  Each of us, and that's millions of us... have "unequal" desires, motivations, and energy... as it should be.  It's called, an individual's right to his/her personal pursuit of happiness!

The LEFT believes if there is "unequal outcome", then injustice is inherent in the system. All other factors don't matter and merely muddy the water when it comes to arguing for Social Justice Causes.

Correct, Indy!  For altruistic Collectivists, the ends justifies the means... the sacrifice of an individual's rights for the "greater" good of the "whole", is an imperative moral indiscretion.  Just don't expect them to admit it objectively (honestly)... in their own safe high brow havens!  Kumbaya
