I was ranked 1st in my graduation
Now, it's been one year and I can't get a job.
All my classmates, even worthless lazy bums, have found a job.
They have special acquaintances if you know what I mean.
They're too rich and famous, they easily got employed by one of their father's friends. While I'm sitting here browsing job sites, and sending e-mails.
I don't mean to be envious, I wish them the best, but why isn't life fair?

To me - it sounds like you're coming off too strong, and SCARING employers away...
You cannot simply tell them that you are the best, and expect them to bend over backwards for you. Let your actions speak for you - if you are a strong leader, then SHOW them an example of your leadership. If you're skilled at designing websites, then SHOW them what you have designed...
Unfortunately, sometimes it IS who you know - daddy will give JR a job just to get their foot in the door, and they advance from there. MOST of the jobs a company posts are INTERNAL - so only those who already work there will know about them.
The jobs that are posted for the rest of the world are usually ones that they already TRIED to fill internally - and failed. Just find ANYONE you know who will hook you up with a mailroom-type job (even Janitor!!!) - and THEN let your skills fly as you get first crack at jobs the rest of the world doesn't even know about ;);););)

The economy does suck, I'll give you that. But you need to look beyond your resume. What are you doing? Just sending out emails isn't going to do it. Have you called the companies a few days after doing so? Have you networked at all? Maybe some of your connected classmates can help you out. And how are your people skills? You sound a bit entitled, desperate, and judgmental in your question. I understand that could just be frustration with your job hunt, but if you allow a potential employer to hear any of that, you're doomed. If they don't think they'd want to work with you, it won't matter how good your grades are. They won't hire you.

Nobody ever accused life of being fair.
Just keep looking. Get a low-key job for now, and eventually you'll find something. If everyone else is getting jobs by having friends, go make some.

If you're not white it is racism.
If you are white you need to move away to somewhere that can give you a job. I've never known a white person who can't get a job in the WHOLE USA.

You're doing something WAY wrong, and you're not telling the WHOLE story, are you?
