So your original statement is wrong:

To be clear, this was for white (Irish and Italians don't count) men, and many black, hispanic, and native families could not afford to live the American dream.

Because my Irish great grandfather very much lived the American dream. That is because this statement you made is also wrong:

America has always been built in inequality

The richest Americans had a tax rate of 91% in the 1960s. That number has plummeted since and income inequality has gotten to where it is today as a result.
