When I hear it from a white man, who has never been denied his business permit, lives in a nice house, while his small business keeps him comfortable but not actually wealthy. His rights have never been challenged.

Maybe what he's talking about is his "right" to be as wealthy as romney. Which would be a "right" to be born into generations of wealth and have opportunities to be a ruthless venture capitalist. Who knows.
