say "economic justice/parity will "solve" racism and is the major factor for white racism, I say economic parity is but one SMALL area contributing to white racism. The other LARGE problem contributing to white racism is the color of ones skin and that problem has been the major contributing factor, along with whites afraid of losing their white privilege and identity entitlement that has kept white racism as an horrendous tool of the white supremacist since the lynching of James Crawford a well to do farmer in the post slavery 'emancipation' period of the 'north-south' civil war. Oh, Mr. Crawford? He got in an argument with a white store owner over price gouging because he was a black person.

The money an African-american has pales to non-existence when white person sees a black person, especially if that white person is racist. The African-american in their eyes is immediately an 'other' and usually seen as a n*****. Yes, even a first class POTUS we had before this trash that now calls himself potus. Period. No ifs, and's or buts about this fact. A POC driving an expensive car will be pulled over, a white person will not. Period. Just one small true example. That AA can be a CEO, a major face from television, a major newsperson, even one of the protect and serve people off duty, a white racist cop having a bad day or not, makes no difference, will immediately make a judgement. Ask Oprah about her shopping spree in Switzerland. That point is obvious.

Fuck economic parity when I want human right parity. That's what I say when it comes to the proponents of economic parity being the major solution to white racism in ameriKKKa and at last count there are at least 66 million of them in this country alone.
