You seriously think getting pulled over is a determinant of net worth?

I was profiled you dope. They thought I was some pot carrying dead head.

Nice counter argument. Your facts are intriguing.

LOL! no, getting profiled is proof that it exists. plain and simple.


But how the frick does it then contribute to poverty, assuming no crime was ultimately ever charged?

that's not saying they are incapable, that's saying they have a more difficult path than a white counterpart of comparable background.


And you are suggesting that it is one they cannot possibly overcome, when other groups in America have.

The real end goal of identity politics is to make various racial groups to completely stop believing in the system. Much easier to usher in communism that way.




Ummm that's not the end of identity politics though. The fun and games keep going on. Really doesn't matter what system you have, as long as some people think of themselves as a group separate from the other groups that comprise the people under they system, they are going to game it.

This OP is about wealth differences

Asians, who themselves have faced legal obstacles and racism in America, somehow overcome it

FFS people social inequality is not regulated to only wealth.

Asians were never profiled and made to build railroads as basically slave labor, so it makes sense that they would now be wealthy. It was Chinese privilege that got them there.

But that is the topic of this thread. Are you here to prove some other point?

You provide no basis of fact, and you argue with standard regurgitation of what you've been told.

Hispanics send almost everything they make back to Mexico, but most (at least the ones that work in my industry) are absolutely killing it. My trim carpenter alone made 300k last year and will probably beat that this year.

Asians and Indians (dot, not feathers) absolutely destroy here.

Bernie Sanders is a fricking hypocrite loser assclown.

because OP brought up white privilege as if it only pertained to economics, which is false

How does getting stopped by a police officer reduce net worth?

Jew in Europe faced tons of political oppression (before nazism even) and in most cases had few political rights, yet they figured out how to advance economically

why can't you admit that a black guy is more likely to get pulled over than a white guy?


Can we all also admit that a black guy is like 12 times more likely to be a murder or violent criminal than a white guy?

Can we admit stuff like that, too?

Bernie would be happy with this graph. Gains for every race but whitey.

There are two with a checkmark. Usually that means they're official.

@SenSanders and @BernieSanders

The whole idea of white privilege is a major overgenetaliziazion nased on marxist ideals of inequality.

You look at raw data and say "because race" which is a simpletons view.

A middle class white and a middle class black person have similar opportinities to succeed at life.
