Ya know Harry, that's not a terribly wrong statement, even if Karl Marx never said it.

You should have taken my advice and read some books.

In Grandmaster Chess, the person playing the White pieces wins more often than the one playing Black. This then proves the superiority of the White Race. Makes sense to me.
What the idiots don't know is that in upper level chess, each player gets the first move in half the games. Also, it is only competitive chess that mandates the colors be white/black. The reason for the color scheme is so that all games can be cataloged, via shorthand notations of A1 to H8. For the notations to work, the colors, orientation of the board, and the first move must be uniform.
Talk about the universal dumbing-down of the average public figure.......

You must be a tournament chess player. Most people don't know that stuff.

Avid novice with no time to really play to improve. I watch Agadmator, Suren and a couple others on YouTube.

I wasn't familiar with either of those names, so I looked them up. Turns out I recognized Agadmator, a Croatian guy who I've come across a few times on YouTube. I think I saw him analyzing some chess games from the Olympiad last year. (Yes, for those of you who don't know, there actually is a chess Olympics!)
When I looked up Suren he was analyzing a game with a pocket set on top of some mountain(!) maybe in Armenia. Never seen him before but he sure has a novel approach!
