Every single point, you either use conjecture, hyperbole, or take one example (that is true) but use it as a very broad brush that would apply to every thing. Again, it's absolutely illogical to do so. I'll use the last example of the seat belt. I'm sure the example used above with positive outcomes greatly outweigh those negative outcomes that are always portrayed by the MSM. But you use the .05% of times that something bad happened as a way to argue your point. The data doesn't support you. You're throwing the baby out with the bath water. That's illogical.The Koch Brainwashing is strong with this one.
Poor white people live under the delusion that as long as they are slightly better off than the Darkies, they have it good. It's explains why so many inbreds in the South took bullets during the civil war, and why so many inbreds in trailer parks voted for Trump.
That's nice. I used to think like that, until I ran up some medical bills and my boss screwed with my career, happily announcing that "That's why I'm glad I don't have to deal with a union." For all your white privilege garbage, you are one serious illness away from ruin, just like everyone else.
Did I need to use smaller words.
Ah, the Republican Mantra, "I got mine, screw you!"
Meanwhile, for everyone else. -
There is a shortage of 7.3 million affordable and available rental homes for renters with extremely low incomes in the US, up 8 percent from 6.8 million in 2019. The lack of housing options for renters with extremely low incomes are driving the overall affordable housing shortage across the country.

Addressing America's Affordable Housing Crisis
The US has a shortage of 7.3 million rental homes affordable and available to renters with extremely low incomes. What policy levers can local, state, and federal policymakers leverage to address the widening affordability gap?housingmatters.urban.org
Check your privilege, buddy. This pull yourself up by your bootstraps crap doesn't fly.
Yup, this is the future you make when 60% of the population has less than 4% of the wealth. It didn't used to be like this.
While the bottom fifth has only seen a 16% increase in income since 1979, the top 1% has seen a 281% increase. This is simply not sustainable.

If I'm insulting you, then you probably have it coming.
See the chart above, that is EXACTLY the case.
No, I just know the government has the resources to make the rich pay their fair share. A few IRS prosecutions, and throw a few rich douchebags into the big house with that guy Hector probably has nightmares about, and you'd be amazed how quick they get with the program.
How do you think Communism in China happened? It happened because the wealthy hoarded all the wealth, while the poor people had little until they finally got fed up and killed all the rich people who couldn't make it to Taiwan.
Tell you true, I think that it's kind of horrifying that so many young kids supported Bernie in the last two elections, but frankly, who can blame them?
What do you do when the next Bernie is a little more charismatic? How do you convince the 60% who are fighting over that 4% of scraps that the current system that burned their parents out is a good one?
Here's another "Check your Privilege" moment, buddy. If you or I get pulled over for not having a seat belt clicked, we get a ticket. When a person of color gets pulled over, the next thing they do is search his trunk to see if he's got anything in there he shouldn't. If they lose their temper at it, they get charged with obstructing justice. We have a two-teired justice system, and you know it.
You can take every example provided, claim privilege, white supremacy all you want, but it doesn't help you. No one with any common sense argues that there are absolute racists, there are those that have taken advantage of being white. But you illogically apply these minutia of negative examples categorically to EVERYONE. That's illogical. Nothing you spout would ever hold up in a peer reviewed journal or paper because all you spout is emotional, bitter biases. Period. And you know it.
At the end of the day, anyone in this country can turn their situation and life around. And this is still currently the greatest country in the world that offers the greatest opportunities in the world. Is it perfect, nope. But this country still offers the best opportunity for life, liberty and the PURSUIT (Not guaranteed) of happiness. If you don't like it why sit around, bitching about it? Go to Canada, Mexico, China, Cuba, the Scandinavian countries.
