There are more white non-homeowners in the US than the entire US black population and wealthy black people have no problem owning homes. The biggest correlation is wealth.

The wealthy have solidarity in their wealth while us poors find reasons to divide ourselves, be it race, religion, sexuality, or level of relative poorness. Imagine the power we’d have to fi change this country if we were allies instead.

Money only care about money. Everything else is an excuse to get more.

Hey don't worry, you can always illegally camp as a hermit in some wild area and hope a compatible hermit comes along to start a family with you before you get shot by a park ranger.

It's far more likely than owning a home the boomer way.

Well now hang on a second......this might work. You do the cooking and the cleaning, and I'LL wear the bear suit, and try to slaughter park rangers before they shoot me.

This system can be changed. It won't be easy.

No it can't, and no it won't, because it's working exactly as designed.

Any system can be changed. It's just a matter of how many people want to change it.

China prior to WWII had ruled for like 1000 years. Now it's a totally different system.

You don't have to limit yourself to the same country so there may be other options as well.
