Yes, rich people are more likely to crowdfund their rich friends.
Yes, an century ago America was deeply racist against freed slaves and their children.
My blonde haired blue eyed ass grew up in Chicago regularly having those PBJ cracker rations the nurse had for lunch because my family was dirt poor and getting my ass kicked by my majority black classmates because of the rhetoric people like you spread.
You see your hardships, can’t look past the color of your skin, and project.
Again, it’s not a race issue, it’s a financial class issue.

I don’t see how my ‘hardships’ as a middle class white australian-american who moved to the US come into it. I’m describing how I observe the US to work.
Yes, rich people are more likely to crowdfund their rich friends.
White people are just more likely to be successful in their crowdfunding, even when poor.
I’m not arguing that there are no poor white people, that’s silly. My wife’s dad’s grew up shoeless and white in rural illinois. The existence of poor white people doesn’t disprove the fact non white people are a greater target for deliberate impoverishment.
I’m not deaf to class-based analysis. But this is the US. You just can’t talk about class without also talking about how racialized poverty is in most of the country. Crowdfunding is one of the many facits of our society that very clearly reflects that.

Oh, so you are just some rando with no business in the conversation throwing muck at the wall.
Gotcha.
Makes it worse that you are spreading that kind of rhetoric.
As productive as this conversation has ever been.

You seem to feel like you’re being attacked by a description of how some people suffer. It doesn’t imply that others don’t.
Nah, just irritated about an Aussie trying to stir up racial conflict in America with bullshit rhetoric.
