> Can you explain the fact the net worth of a typical white family is $171,000 and the typical net worth of a Black family is $17,150? how many young poor black mothers have children too early (16) with gang members who end up dying from gang violence? isn’t that a modern day common black narrative? how is a poor white person any worse off than a poor black person? they have same access to all resources. it’s systemic poverty for poor people. it has nothing to do with blacks. some blacks bootstrap themselves out and make it, most don’t. how broken is the system for those that make it out? not very.

>it’s systemic poverty for poor people. it has nothing to do with blacks. This is a good point imo. Are they poor because they're black or because their family was poor before them? I agree people put too much emphasis on more visible bias (ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation) and blame a lot of things which arguably may have originated from these bias, but are furthered by other factors (e.g. slow social mobility - all bias accounted for).
