I never said that and you should know that, but This is simply proof of your poor reading comprehension. Try again.
You would rather exchange in petty insults than engage with the actual topic. I'm more interested in people's thoughts about if our economy relies on a lower-class who has no other choice to but to accept menial work for low pay.

What evidence are you hoping for?

And I didn’t assert that. I asked you if you had any idea of those factors (you don’t). Try again.
Do you have any idea of those factors? It's an odd question to ask if you don't have an idea.
I wonder if you apply this level of scrutiny to the many threads started with nothing but a tweet in the OP.

Workplace diversity, equity and inclusion are professional developments that stress the importance of getting along with and respecting colleagues, vendors and customers of all racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
How it is applied in the real world matters far more than how it’s defined on paper by DEI lovers.

Blame yourself.
You asserted MANY white people are inheriting houses from that era, and you can’t back it up.

Progressives believe everything happens by chance, not hard work.
They dont believe a guy can "bootstrap" himself.

At what point is introspection warranted? Will we hear about systematic racism in 2080?
I didn't expect every poster to fixate on the racial aspect of the OP. I attempted to steer the discussion toward if our economy relies on a lower-class that has no realistic options other than to accept low-paying, menial jobs. The quote that sparked this discussion was about race, but I asked in the OP that even if we disregarded race, do we need a low-class to function in this way.
I don't think you're dumb, but I did think you would be capable of engaging with this topic outside of the low-hanging fruit of black racial inferiority. Maybe you are capable of that and you just joined in the angry mob of fragile white men who MUST prove their superiority (but also victimhood) in every thread that mentions the word black.

Reread this and tell me if you think your response matches the post you responded to. I asked about the economy and you went off about bootstraps.

Do you think those policies were put in place to ensure a black lower-class that would have no choice but to work menial jobs for little pay?
Are you accusing the democrats with their huge hearts as being saboteurs of black America?

Fair, but the dominant culture in the USA is white, so people who share that culture benefit from it because they are seen as either "normal" or "ideal." I don't really understand why anyone would try to deny that, except to paint themselves as some sort of victim.
Is it a coincidence that the most successful blacks seem to be those who adopt the dominant culture?

A white guy is more likely to inherit a house or property from his parents because policies weren't enacted to prohibit white people from buying and maintaining homes in areas that weren't considered slums
List these policies please

We are not worthy of the super educated white liberal female that is so smart but doesn't make shite but has the unfair world figured out. Cubbies when you take your anti depressiants and see your therapist tell them the fragile white men say hello.

You realize many is a subjective term, right? It just means more than one. Two people in my family inherited houses built in the 1920s. Do I need to show you the deeds?
My goodness. You realize you told me that you didn't think there was racial discrimination in housing and requested that I prove that you, then backpedaled and implied you DO know that it existed (but you were asking for evidence for the heck of it I guess?). You're exhausting. What are you trying to prove here?
Go away already.

There's a lot of angst to unpack here. Maybe you forgot to take your antidepressants today.

Just for clarity, your claim is that diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace is simply a mandate to hire minority people instead of white people in every situation? So workplaces with diversity, equity and inclusion trainings never hire white people?
They hire less straight whites than they normally would because they have a race/gay ratio to hit. When it’s time to hit that mark, they need to hire minorities to achieve their goal of diversity, or else they are failures.

What makes you ask this question? That actually supports what I wrote (that you quoted).

No, it does not.
You conflate economy with society.
Society is made up of people. People are not equal in any way. By default, half the population is below average in intelligence, drive, awareness, whatever it takes to rise up. Society has always relied on this lower half of the masses to do the menial tasks.
End of story.

Do you think white culture is helpful?
