It’s America and it’s about race because if you look like the people this country historically extracted free labor from, then you are much more likely to be treated poorly for profit. Being poor is different than being poor and black or latino in America. Our livelihoods ride on the manufactured failure of specific groups of people for political reasons. Then here you come calling it all poor people, erasing the specific struggles that enable the system. If you are going to argue on behalf of white people, which ones? What are the lineages of people who were affected most? Who cause the harm? Was redress made?
American Descendents of Slavery haven’t gotten their reparations yet, and LatAm is still an American-managed cluster fuck.
