Wielding anti-discrimination laws to keep the oppressed oppressed.
Also please, could we call it "ethnicity?" Even white people can jump in the band wagon on this. There's only one race, the human race. Race is not a scientific term, it's a bullshit political term meant to create separation. I'm here to tell you that I'm brown and proud of knowing that I'm simply homosapiens and that there are no other actual scientifically distinct "breathes or races" it's just "human". If I wasn't pointed as brown all the time I would marry someone else from anywhere in the world... I did end up doing that and my kids don't look like I did when I was a baby, but they look like mommy and daddy in many different ways. You call this "look" or set of features "race" thinking like a racist that it actually means a distinct different humanoid that cannot have offspring with you or other humanoid species. But again you are wrong. Only one smart hominid species called homosapiens. Everything else is just non scientific bullshit.
Race is not a biological term but it's absolutely a sociological term, i.e. a complex social construct we've created based on superficial physical characteristics
Honestly I don't understand the problem here. Poverty is a class issue, not a race issue. Who cares what somebody's skin colour is if they need help?
Edit: Apparently calling out racism is controversial in US subs 🤷
Because whenever you try to target class, it ends up excluding on race.
Every single time it just so happens that white applicants hoovered up all the available program benefits and NOBODY ever knows why!
Not to mention the racial wealth gap, it is impossible to achieve racial equality so long as the same amount is being given to everyone. All that's doing is maintaining the current wealth gap, it does nothing to close the gap.
Equality will not be achieved until white people can fucking let go of the fact that black folks have to get stuff that white people will not for everyone to be on the same playing field, and that's just economically, we're not even talking about how "just hire the most qualified candidate!" only ever seems to be an issue when the qualified candidate is a PoC.
