Do we all have the same opportunities?

In Toni Cade Bambara's short story "The Lesson," the lesson that Sylvia and her friends are being taught, and that we the readers are being reminded of, is that not everyone is given equal opportunity in life.
The educated Miss Moore takes this group of children to F.A.O. Schwarz, in order to teach them about social, racial, and economic inequality, because she wants them to be able to fight against it. While the most expensive thing pointed out in the store is a toy sailboat, Sylvia takes particular note of a toy birthday clown that costs 35 dollars. She thinks of what that amount of money would mean for her family:

Thirty-five dollars could buy new bunk beds for Junior and Gretchen’s boy. Thirty-five dollars and the whole household could visit Grandaddy Nelson in the country. Thirty-five dollars would pay for the rent and the piano bill too.Who are these people that spend that much for performing clowns and $1,000 for toy sailboats? What kinda work they do and how they live and how come we ain’t in on it?

And later on, to Sylvia's chagrin, Sugar states:

You know, Miss Moore, I don’t think all of us here put together eat in a year what that sailboat costs.

Sylvia and her friends are young, black, and being raised in a poor neighborhood of New York in the 1970s. Over the course of the story, it becomes clear that they have not been given the same opportunities as white children with rich parents who can easily buy them a "Handcrafted sailboat of fiberglass at one thousand one hundred ninety-five dollars." They cannot even afford the "cheaper" toys, like the toy clown.
Though she is angry at Miss Moore for forcing this lesson upon her, it seems by the end of the story that Sylvia will not be content to let systematic inequality keep her from getting what she wants from life.
