Data to support the theory that America is a White Supremacist Country

Your racial theory of wages is comedy.
Wages are a function of supply and demand and some complicated other things like free govt money and benefit cliffs.

Low wages are offered and able people accept them if they can't get free money from the government.

When wages get too high businessmen pay democrats and establishment republicans to bring in more workers. Whether they be high tech workers or physical laborers.

And if we don't bring them in legally... we also bring in illegals to work.

My friend's older brother was paid 22 bucks an hour as carpenter/framer in the early 80s. He was good...
That is more than construction workers make today and we have had 300 to 500 percent inflation.

--

We have had massive inflation and a decrease in wages...
Bad govt polices are driving many of our problems.

I find it disgusting that democrats are acting like they are the solution.
They have done nothing to help black people since the 60s.
I am not saying establishment republicans are much better....

But as long as you are bringing in people to take low wage jobs... and creating benefits cliffs, you are systematically screwing a class of people you are claiming to care about.

People are tribal by nature. We form communities for self preservation. It’s deep in our DNA.

However, historically humans are not racist. If you’ve ever read the Bible, you’ll notice the absence of skin color as people were identified by their nation of origin. Ethiopians were never “black” they were just Ethiopian. Nubians were Nubians. Hittites weren’t Brown they were just Hittites.

You’ll even notice this if you’ve ever read Shakespeare. Othello wasn’t black or brown, he was just a Moore.

Africans have been in Europe for over a thousand years and Europeans in Africa for the same amount of time.

When Mansa Musa made the haj he became famous throughout Europe for his wealth. Not described as “black” but as West African from Mali.

It was when slavery became concentrated from Africa for labor in the Americas that skin color became the prevailing descriptive characteristic over nation of origin. To understand why you have to understand the economics of the new world circa 1545 AD was to extract as much wealth as possible and deliver it back to wealthy investors in Europe.

(((Asa side note, Christopher Columbus didn’t discover the Americas. How do you discover a place where millions of people already live?)))

So not only did slavery meet the needs of the economic system, so did paying white workers poor wages. From this a social structure was created where poor whites would accept their low station because they were better off than the enslaved blacks.

Today this social structure still persists in America. Prisons are privately owned and they receive a payment for every prisoner. The justice system disproportionately provides them black prisoners for poverty crimes. Many black Americans are still being bought and sold in a way.

Many poorwhites will still accept low wages because the social structure keeps them in a hierarchy above blacks. Again look at the disproportionate incarceration rates, education rates, even interest rates on loans and prices paid for things like cars when controlling factors are similar.

Don’t believe me? If you’re white, simply ask yourself would you want to be black in America? Now be honest with yourself.

Why do we still have this? Because of profit of course. As long as prisons and healthcare systems and banks are good then why in the world would the politicians want to change anything against their donors will.

Any bets on when we see protests against African or Asian countries? Any day now?

A good thread to remind us how racist the US is.
