Wealth is not a finite resource, it something created so it's not something that can be distributed.

As far as so-called privilege, the playing field was leveled legally and econimically a long time ago. There are many immigrants that come here with zero (my parents included) that are able to easily achieve much in one generation so the ancestral wealth for success line doesn't hold much weight. I dare say those that are perceived as marginalized have the real privilege as there is a push for diversity at all costs. In the end failure is almost 100% the result of life choices. In 2017 you can't use Jim Crowe as a reason anymore.
