You were claiming that "most alive today" had a net advantage in our culture.

That isn't what I said. Here was my statement:

Blacks who are 50 and younger have had tremendous advantages due to affirmative action, the Welfare State, and other freebies from the government. For that matter, the federal government has provided many, many blacks who were less qualified than white applicants solely because they were black.

The advantages we (as a society) have given blacks 50 and younger are substantial. I don't know if they outweigh the injustices they were born into; however, these advantages definitely outweigh any injustices I, personally (as well as those of my generation and younger) have created for them.
