I just wonder when I’m gonna get my check from England. And when the Jews get theirs from Germany.
I don't get it, are you a citizen of those countries?
Oh wait..... that ship sailed a long time ago huh. Kinda like this one.
You are cherry picking one race why?
I asked before, do you actually understand the Detroit area? Or are you just some sock puppet cat fishing like happens often?
I still can’t see where u see this poverty stricken issue being a exclusively black thing?
Who is saying this it is a 'exclusively black thing'?
It is just exclusively one demographic that has been in total control of all aspects of our society and using this very real issue as a way to radicalize people online with vague comments and a constant need to 'own' someone with whatever narrative is being pushed by some hate troll.
Again being from Detroit, you do get that only 'white' people could get access to loans to buy into the suburbs? This systematic advantage gave our 'white' grand parents the ability to buy into any area that they could afford for decades.
And this situation has led to 'white' people owning 98% of the land that makes up America. How is this hard to see?
What do you think? If your born white u get to skip it?? Or this supposed “privilege “ is real for everyone regardless of where u started.
Skip what? Do you think you would have access to better resources as a kid at this school:
Or here?
How do you think that impacted parents of people you may know that went to those schools?
Sorry but it’s not like that at all.... it’s not the color of your skin, it’s who you know and what they think of you. Facts! I don’t deny that color was a thing...
Oh right on, so you get that racism is real. I was worried there.
You understand too that in the cities surrounding Detroit (like Melvindale) got bought up by all the white people, and they wouldn't sell to minorities. There are some really good videos from this time. They take me back to being a kid listening to my grandpa (Korea vet, Kentucky born and raised) talking. I am a little younger than the kid talking about it, but she is my older siblings age.
it just doesn’t make sense to me. How is it that people of African decent who’s ancestors were slaves and have been held back as a people are any more important or have more worth than any other race that has experienced the same thing?!
That is why 'white' people today own 98% of the land.
How can you not see how anyone not white was kept out of being able to buy land in America? And that is how generational wealth is developed.
And that is also how city schools turn into the videos above. After 'white' people fled the cities when all the jobs moved out after ww2, the tax base for those cities dropped very significantly.
Then simultaneously as white people flee to the burbs, they control the government and hire thousands of police to keep the minorities left in Detroit under their heel.
And that was just one city, this happened nation wide.
And sure there are white kids that fall on bad times, but if you are in a family that has parents with a home that can take your mom and kid you in if you hit a roadblock in life, chances are really good that they were 'white'.
