Stop making it about race. It's about class, not race. You're just race baiting

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world -5 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Oh fuck off. If it was truly about class why is in every single metric from wages, employment, health, education, and housing black and brown ppl currently are worse off then their white counter parts regardless of income and location. If it was only about class wouldnt it be the same across the board? And it's ALWAYS been that way.

It's almost like white ppl are pissed they're being denied the dreams they actively keep everyone else from receiving and the rest of us are just suppose to forget about the very real problems specific to our races just to keep white ppl comfortable.

So why did the Super Bowl happen?

The teams that played at the Super Bowl are both predominantly black. Please point to either of the teams that stopped playing to protest the "white ruling class".

Oh, that's right, it didn't happen. Crazy, what's your perspective on that? No True Scotsman? Got a strawman you wanna piece together? Say more stuff about how white people are the problem, that should get you some upvotes.

Edit: the downvote button is not an 'I disagree with this' button.

Because whites are superior, remember? lmao

It's good that whites go mask off with this "DON'T TALK ABOUT RACISM THERE IS NO RACISM IT'S SOMETHING ELSE COMPLETELY!!!1!" because that cognitive dissonance between what they see and what they believe should be a wakeup call, although segregation keeps them safe from seeing black social reality for the most part.
