OTOH, you must admit that some cultures (including many/most Asian and European) value and have access to better educational opportunities than people coming from most Latin American or African countries. For the blacks who are descendents of slaves, there are some legitimate reasons to try and help them up more than those who come from more educated cultures/countries.

That explains why so many of the dirt poor Lost Boys of the Sudan have immigrated to the states, completed college and gone on to have successful careers.
The only problem that your ‘descendants of slaves’ have is a cultural victim identity. Their lack of success or opportunity is everyone’s fault but their own, right? Bullshit.
I propose an experiment. Let’s take a page from Obama’s book and go to the poor areas of this country and ‘spread the wealth around’. We’ll give $200k cash to every man, woman and child and come back in 5 years and see how things are. I suspect that they will look exactly like they do now. Oh, some will have some new bling and you’ll see a few new cars but you’ll probably see most of the same faces, just 5 years older. What you probably WON’T see is people using this money to start businesses, put themselves through school or in many cases, buy themselves a house.
