    Bullshit.

    She's 36. The government hasn't issued cheese since the early 80's.

    She's a public servant, and her government cheese is freely available.

    If not for the author, I would think that she could possibly be using innuendo for sucking some Trump D.

    She probably thinks Innuendo is a Spanish language TV network.

    You want to see a real life example of racism by whites against blacks, look at how white liberals treat black conservatives. Libs should fix that before they start lecturing the masses on racism and equality. Don't forget the Biden saying "you ain't black" if you vote Republican.

    It’s extremely demeaning and more of a “ohh look at them!! Poor babies don’t know what’s actually good for them”

    So insulting for people that have had to walk in those shoes everyday and have their experiences shape their beliefs only to be discounted by racist soy bois talking about how “cultured” they are @thegary

    The other way white people in the entirety of the 20th century and 21st century express their racism and fascism is claiming they are an oppressed group of people.

    Remember Nazi rhetoric was 90% white grievances about how the Jews and migrants are oppressing them.

    That's the modern American right who claim that white male Christians are the most oppressed class of people in America.

    Doesn’t matter if they’re white, black, brown, or green. They’re an idiot if they vote for Trump. And likely fat.

    Kid loves to use this chart.

    What he fails to recognize or intentionally doesn't recognize is that you'll find a chart with similar findings in every or almost every country on earth that has minority groups, including racially homogenous or near racially homogenous countries that have ethnic/religious minorities.

    You'll see a similar chart for people of Caribbean/African descent in the UK or African descent in France.

    Japan is so racist you couldn't even make a chart with meaningful racial categories. Same with most countries in Eastern Europe.

    China, the same. Though you'll find the ethnic minorities there are substantially poorer then the Han.

    The Middle East? How do you think KSA treats minorities? Most of us saw what happened with migrant workers in Qatar... treated like dogs.

    The U.S. is one of the least racist places on earth.

    We can codify anti-racist laws, we can give minorities recourse through the judicial system, we can't make people not be racist.

    Doesn't mean we can't do better, but don't buy the narrative people.

    So why does the median white family have 10x more wealth than the median black family?


    Remember I responded to someone asking for examples of white Americans being racist. Isn't it being racist if someone answers "it's because of black culture" which is pretty much the official stance of the GOP by now?

    No, he was probably kicked out because he works for Fox News. I know plenty of conservatives of color living in Texas. There is a difference between being conservative and being a sensationalist tv personality working for Fox. I look at loud mouth holier than thou vegans with the same disdain.

    That being said, there are plenty of intolerant judgmental people on both sides.

    Why is that true of every historically majority racial/ethnic group throughout the world?

    Wealth inequality along ethnic/racial lines exist in every country in the world.

    The United States is apart of the world.

    Dude you are making claims with no data, nothing. Other places can be racist sure but the US has a very unique condition where we had one specific race of people fueling an entire economy at the level modern oil and gas fuels our modern economy. The United States is unique in the sense that it still had an economic system based on slavery during the industrial revolution out of all western nations. England gave up slavery as soon as the industrial revolution started.

    When you have an entire group of humans that were literally the oil and gas of an entire economic system through slavery that results in so many systems that carry through. Half the United States was in a situation where where the enslaved population was literally greater than the free white population. This will result in so many lasting effects like how an entire system of law enforcement is structured. After slavery ended, imagine the feelings the average white southerners felt. They just made free an entire group of humans that outnumber them that they treated like literal cattle. That puts the fear of God in you. That makes you want to establish "patrols" that are entirely based on making sure a former enslaved population doesn't flat out murder their former owners. That has repercussions in ohw basic systems like law enforcement and banking form.

    Today, examining household assets, Black Britons of Caribbean backgrounds have 20 pence on the £1 compared to white Britons. Black Britons of African background – more recently arrived in Britain – have just 10 pence on the £1 compared to white Britons.

    In the U.S., Black Americans have assets about 15 to 20 cents on the $1 compared to whites.

    You know what I've represented about economic disparities between ethnic/racial groups across the world to be true but go off.

    You think those stats will look different in France? Be willfully obtuse if you like.

    Racism and discrimination based on gender/religion/ethnicity and other types of prejudices exist in every country/society in the world.

    The U.S. has codified more anti-discrimination statutes and laws then perhaps any country on earth.

    America has a history of racism and prejudice. Every country does. Fortunately, today, it is more progressive on racism and prejudice then most other countries in the world.
