I disgusted by people like you, Nathalie, who see people have two choices in front of them: 1) live and die in grinding poverty and misery or 2) work hard to escape that grinding poverty, then are upset people make choice 2), going so far as to hate the people that provide 2) as even an option. Most of human existence was defined by grinding poverty (all of humantiy live on $3 per day till 1800, that’s 150,000 years of living in poverty). Only in recent history do we see anything thing like the miraculous abundance the typical human has now, but you think it’s a tragedy that it takes work to create that wealth. Sadly, you think there’s dignity in living and dying in great poverty and misery and hate the fact that people want to work to escape that poverty and misery as soon as the opportunity arises.

“African Americans and people of color do not have institutionalized power,…”

But in fact blacks do have much institutional power in many of our failed cities run by Democrats often for decades or longer. They work for the city, they are the mayor and the politicians, they are preachers and many are the police. Think of Detroit.

These SJWs talk of “white privilege.” For the most part the real privilege is not living in a failing city run by Democrats for decades. But they are doing their best to rectify that. The real privilege for many Americans is having a family with both a mom and a dad. But again they are doing their best to fix that too!

I think black author Thomas Sowell had some good insights into the problem in his book “Black Rednecks and White Liberals.” The real kernel of the problem is a culture, specifically a black culture that instills a toxic world view that has hatred at its core. The real white privilege is not being part of that culture.
