"The only minority hurting america is the rich."

One of my favorite posters from the nationwide rallies on Wednesday was this guy at the Sacramento Capitol with a sign that said, “The only minority hurting america is the rich. ” It also literally made me LOL that he drew the killer whales by the yacht too because killer whales have been sinking the yachts of the mega rich lately off Spain. 🤣

They are the minority ruling class and make sure most assets go to themselves.

Poor but white? Value = 1.

Poor and not white? Value = 0.

White, millionaire? Value = 1,000.

White, trillionaire? (Real or pretend) Value = 1 million.

If you have 1 million value points, you can talk to the 'right' people and collect power and influence. Right, Elon?

It's a cash based caste system.
Simple enough.

But don't fall for it - Elon is still a douchebag.
