>means hiring a rich black person before a poor white person.
What is this referring to? I've seen you say the same thing several times in this thread, is it referring to something?
- leereeves 10y agoIt's a quote from the top level comment we're all discussing.
- unprepare 10y agoOh i wasnt sure if it was something from somewhere else. Are you and the top level comment saying that rural/midwestern poor white americans are competing for jobs against wealthy black americans? I'm just trying to understand what this sentiment means, not trying to be combative or anything
- leereeves 10y agoI was just repeating the comment, you'd have to ask the author. Speaking for myself, I'd discuss things like affirmative action in college admissions, whose advocates would admit a wealthy black person from a prep school before a poor white person from a failing rural school who has better test scores, and call that "social justice".

- leereeves 10y agoAs part of the broader discussion of identity politics. I can't speak to exactly what the original author of the remark meant by those words specifically.
- 7Z7 10y agoIt may have been that at first, but you are also implying that there is a left to which that opinion applies. Where is that coming from? edit: you answered below
