(34,648 posts)WillYT, he has for months been posting op after op on how economic justice will solve racism and how racism is a direct result of economic injustice. This is a running issue. From time to time when he posts those lies, BNW comes in here and ask why he thinks that, and rarely to never recieves a reply.
Racism is not caused my poverty. The poverty is a direct resulty of American racism. We went from slavery to jim crow to this new jim crow and the only thing that has never changed is our skin color and American racism. Our rich suffer racism, our poor suffer, our children suffer it in school. They say money will fix that. Money did not help the Jews, imo. It made them a bigger target of racism.
When people say these academic lofty thing about money as the fix, thry are lying and don't even realize it. Because money will fix their problems, not ours. It is a selfish outlook and lazy as hell. Why should blacks be millionaires to fight something you never have to fight. Racism here stems fromsoavery and the dehumanizing of black people as a group in our society. We have done nothing to fix it. Money is not the fix. I'd rather be dead fucking broke than to be TREATED black. There is a disconnect that will not be fixed until some too smart dor their isn good liberals listen and respect the views of AA's. They have to believe we know more about racism than they do, no matter HOW many books they read. We live that life. They don't. A pocket full of gold won't stop a racist cop.
And yes, the use of the word foist stood out to me too. I should have the same rights. We need new civil right legislation.
