(34,648 posts)Racism is not about poverty. It is about American Racism. If you are right, why do Wealthy Black people STILL suffer from racism on a daily basis???? Just by turning on the TV you get racist images pumped to you daily. You will NEVER convince US that if we were just rich, racism would magically dissappear.
It never has worked before; we have no reason to trust your judgement. You who talk down to us so paternalistically! We understand racism BETTER than you, but you REFUSE to learn from us mere mortals of blackened skin about our own trials and tribulations. You know better than us what we suffer daily, how could you not??? We're just black people!!! How could we POSSIBLY know anything about American Racism?!?! Too stupid and illogical to EDUCATE ourselves as to what YOU think WE should think is most important and at the root of all of our troubles. As long as you can blame money, we can pretend that there 'nothing we can do, sorry black people, just gotta deal with getting talked to like idiots and treated like purile animals for another Few generations MORE until white people FEEL like letting go of their racism AND LETTING us be human like them.'
It's all our fault, such unruly negroes. After all, our skin color means we should suffer extra in silence if white liberals are having a speech. Otherwise We're stupid, and Koch brothers rightwing plants. Please talk to us like we're stupid and need white people to explain our REAL troubles to us.
