a certain 'privileged' segment of the population that is always telling POC what is most important for them to gain racial equality. We are not 'told' it's social justice/racial equality in housing, jobs, wages and the myriad other ways POC face white privilege racism everyday. We are only continually told that economic equality will stop all the racism, murders and executions of POC and poor people. This distractive BS is very familiar. "Money will solve your problems black person", forget that if I am financially able to survive, of which a vast majority of POC are in this country, so far, still are, that a tail light, walking through the wrong neighborhood, walking in the street, selling "unlicensed cigarettes, a child playing with a toy gun in the park or "mouthing off" for an unjust detention, by 'authority', neighborhood watch included, of any type can and will get you killed by the modern KKK hiding behind a badge and gun. But, but, but nothing. Nothing confusing about economic equality versus racial equality. The former will not help the latter and vice versa. Not in this country, never has, never will for a vast majority of POC.
