Have you ever had your reading comprehension tested?
Everyone has the same chance to deal with what they have been dealt.
I don't believe in fair. It is one of the stupidest ideas out there.
Is it fair that I can't be in the NBA? What laws are you going to pass to make that happen for me? LOL!
The problems are not supposed to go away... that is not government's job.

Yes, lets go back to the caste systems when life was so much better...

There are things you can change and things you can't change. And your analogy doesn't work.

There are two reasons for how we are (non-physical) in the world.

1) Genetics
2) Social forces

Since you have said that race doesn't exist many times you believe that white and blacks have the same genetic potential so that means the reason has to go to social forces. You can change social forces.

You are not able to play basketball because of a physical condition that is unchangeable.

Also, you can join a wheelchair basketball (I don't know the real name of it) team that is discriminatory against people that can play basketball without one.
