Wanting to be right about something you have no real education in has to be a mental illness.
Most people want to be heard when they have nothing to say, but never want to listen
I never said capitalism was racist. I said that there is a relationship between capitalism and white supremacy because of how it functions in America. You all are sticking to theory and not looking at the fact that we practice racialized capitalism in this country.
If capitalism were operating in the pure form that you want it to, then there wouldn’t be such a significant racial wealth gap. But there is a racial wealth gap because we exist under a racial construct whether you like it or not.
That does not mean that there are not individuals who are able to achieve despite this construct. But we know that the salaries and pay of white men are higher than those of Black men, Black women, and Latinos. Because in this country value is attached to race.
Don’t get mad at me. Get mad at the institutions.
Our family has been asking @ParamountPics to add a disclaimer to this film to help inform audiences that my ancestor Civil Rights Leader Vernon Dahmer Sr is a REAL PERSON. This movie attempts to erase who he was as a person & his legacy https://t.co/k8Y0fpUTty

What’s even crazier is that they understand it so much, they question how Magneto can be cast now because his extremely political backstory is essential to his character!
So don’t ever let them fool you into thinking they don’t understand.
This guy makes an EXCELLENT point.
MAGNETO’s backstory is extremely political, why is it that no one EVER complains about the racial undertones of his story, or say he’s being a victim bc of his trauma?
But mention racism in Black characters origin story and it’s “woke”?
This writer explains how Hal doesn't know he wasn't the first choice for the Ring, and how he's not aware of the damage he caused John by getting him thrown out of the military, and racist grifters are spinning this as 'she hates Hal Jordan' and thinks his parents are right'
America was built on the institution of slavery. It is how America became a world economic power — the buying and selling of people being tied to the economy. That is effectively white supremacy, since it was a race-based system.
Fast forward to other economic policies that were guided by race — housing, employment, etc. There were rules that prevented Black people from equally participating in the free economy.
In fact, one of the most glaring features of American capitalism is racial inequality. The racial wealth gap exists because specific policies were put in place to suppress economic participation.
So yes, capitalism is tied to white supremacy.
I'm 48 and over the course of my life my family and myself have owned about 12 different game consoles. Not once have I ever thought I have not owned a game, physical or digital, when I have purchased it. Especially when a tab says "BUY NOW".
