‘Most WHITE boomers don’t know what it’s like to work 40+ hours a week and still not be able to afford a house’ FTFY

People have been working 40+ hours a week for CENTURIES with no hope of affording a house. The housing that non-whites have been able to secure is always tenuous, subject to the racist whims of the ruling class. They could be rezoned, subject to a new law that strips them of their property, or even what happens in Palestine the racist ruling class just bulldozes your house with no compensation.

This is definitely not about Gen Z vs Boomers, but the ruling class wants you to think it is so we don't unite and make heads roll.

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

[–] Cosmonauticus -3 points 1 hour ago (1 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.

The Super Bowl just finished. Did you see any of the two teams of mostly black men protest Donald Trump?

No, you fucking didn't. The problem isn't white people, it's rich people - all of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

Of course I didn't watch the super bowl and that's about the single dumbest metric I've ever heard of. American football players didn't protest Trump during the big game so that means racism doesn't exist? In America?? You are so lost.

76% of millionaires in the U.S. are white, and white people account for 60% of the total U.S. population.

Globally 90 percent of billionaires are male; 65 percent are white; 60 percent are 60 years old or older.

If they did their white billionaire bosses would fire them. See Kapernick

And?

They chose the money. They had a very clear choice and they chose the money.

Race is not the problem.
