Let's think of an example that works, imagine a bunch of rich elite liberals in Baton Rouge, and a few good upstanding country farm boys in the little settlement of Ethel. Let's say 90% of the disgusting Baton Rouge liberals can afford to get their kids a Bible, and only 25% of the poor farmers in Ethel can do the same. Baton Rouge's population is 224,149, so 22,414 kids go Godless. Ethel's population is 3,584, so 2,688 kids go Godless.

A generation later, and all the kids in Ethel are little Satanists! The 10% of kids in Baton Rouge who didn't have Bibles still had friends who did, and they steered them back to the light. The kids in Ethel weren't as lucky, because more than half of them had no such holy scripture.

The local parish steps in, and they can only afford 10,000 Bibles, so they send 8,930 (89.3%) Bibles to Baton Rouge, and 1,070 (10.7%) of the Bibles to Ethel. After all, it's by the numbers!

But now, an Ethel family says. Those damn liberals in Baton Rouge! Why did they get all the Bibles? We have it worse here! They ought to send us even more Bibles, because our kids are the ones deep in the Stank of Satan!

It's more than equity in the moment, it's the fact that most black people's grandparents or parents lived in radically different times than white people's did, and that has absolutely ruined their current place by no fault of their own.

This is hands down without a down the absolute worst take and hypothetical I have ever read on this topic in my life. It’s not worth discussing much less responding to. Good luck in life. You’re gonna need it.

Please keep in mind that in every single communist revolution in history the true believers and the first wave of leaders and agitators were also the most brutally executed and the first ones sent to camps with their life’s asserts seized.

Disagreeing with this stuff is just the same old "I got mine, forget everyone else" mentality

The government can never and will never fix this problem. Ever. Faith in government is literally the height of human ignorance. Capitalism and a limited government for the common defense has done more to lift people out of poverty and bring equality to communities than any other system in human history and for some reason you keep screaming it’s evil. And your response is to destroy that system and install an iron fist oligarchy. That system of government will cause extreme poverty, death, and inequality as it always has throughout history.

Why are all the communist leaders rich? What’s stopping every single proponent of these programs from donating their own money ?

Zuckerburg, Buffett, Biden, Clinton’s, plenty of billionaires all saying we have to get the government to take money and opportunities from someone else. You don’t see them giving up their own money and opportunities do you?
