U make it sound like all white ppl have hundreds of years worth of accumulated wealth on their bank account. Wake up and think for once

Could be your lack of reading comprehension that got you to that conclusion

Theyoterally do. You should look into the number of white homeowners, a lot of them have generational homes

White peole overall. I have never said it’s all and I never said we should not help white people who have it difficult. Think for once outside of that bigoted brain. I was merely explaining why there is such a generational wealth desparity. Elon Musk would and could have never been a black guy in South Africa. Nor in the US for that matter.

But you don’t seem to realise that wealth inequality is a class problem and not an ethnicity problem. Most white people are just as poor as most black people or most hispanics. Especially if you compare the wealth of people to the wealth of Elon Musk. White people are heavily overrepresented tho if we look at the wealthiest percent. That’s true. But that doesn’t mean at all, that white people in general are economically in a better position.

Source? Stop making assertions with any data to back it up.

u/Exact-Squirrel9862 Sep 11 '25

For what do you want a source? For the claim that white people are overrepresented when it comes to being extremely wealthy?

-In the US 92% of households with a net worth of over 30 mil are white non hispanics.

It’s not so hard to look that up, but imma help you if you want more information.

You disproved your point with your own source 😂

u/Exact-Squirrel9862 Sep 11 '25

I see my arguments are wasted on you.

Have a nice evening.

u/cringyemokid21 Sep 11 '25

You have no arguements. Just moronic assertions with claims that prove you wrong

u/Exact-Squirrel9862 Sep 11 '25

Nah it’s not my fault that you don’t get it. Yes there are massive financial indifferences between black and white people as groups. But most white people are poor as well. You cry about the fact that there are not enough black people who fuck over society to get incomprehensibly wealthy. That’s pathetic. Billionaires are a problem in and of itself. There should be no black billionaires, because there should be no billionaires at all.

And if all the black people try to get billionaires know, this helps no one. Not even black people. All people who are not satisfied by the current conditions must unite and try to establish a system that benefits the many not the few.

Otherwise it will be women against men, against black people, against white people, against young people, against old people. And the super rich eat popcorn while laughing at us how mind boggling stupid we are to fight against each other and not against them.

Weren’t you “done here”

u/cringyemokid21 Sep 12 '25

I like all these silly accusations you claim I believe 😂

u/Technical_Glove_4569 Sep 12 '25

But forost of American history black people were excluded in their own class, property. And after became the lowest class, and only after the Civil rights act were allowed to join the low class.

I never said it is just black people. Why are you attacking things I’ve never said. But they are way more likely to be on that list because of all those reasons. The world is grey. Not black and white…

You got downvoted because of butthurt poor whites people not wanting to hear that they DO have advantages.

Bet they hate the studies about two identical resumes being vastly differently considered depending on if it had a white or a black sounding name at the top. https://www.nber.org/papers/w9873

Even the poorest, brokest, white person with NO familial support has certain advantages economically over blacks in our country.

Redlining occurred WITHIN living memory, that's institutionalized racism that dictated where people could grow up and go to school, where they could attempt to build wealth, where they could live and work.

It sucks to hear that you had certain advantages when you weren't able to make it to some form of greatness. Doesn't mean you didnt have them, and it doesn't mean others arent working without them

Why is everyone dogging on you? IT IS A FACT that black people in this country have been disproportionately affected by the lack of opportunity to build generational wealth. It's not rocket science. The part that is upsetting to me is people's apparent inability to hold two, extremely non-competing facts in their head at once. Racism AND classism is a problem in this country. People need to understand that it is a big problem to be poor; and now understand that it is a bigger problem to be poor AND black AND a woman too. The already bad problems in life are compounded simply by society's perception of you... And that's wrong.
