Inequality in US may spur ‘terrible civil war’, says hedge fund billionaire

Colors are funny. In the strictest sense, white and black are contrasts, not "colors". There is no wavelength for black or white.

In the additive RGB color model, white is inclusive of all colors of the visible spectrum, and black is the absence of them.

In the subtractive CMY color model, black is inclusive of all colors of the visible spectrum, and white is the absence of them.

Maybe "disadvantaged people of colour" should ship you to china where you no longer have to deal with worrying about others wanting to find jobs, face no racism and achieving prosperity.

Viewing "disadvantaged people of colour" as anything other than Americans failed by the American government is the primary issue with you and others like you.

Come on man, disadvantaged people of color is a dog whistle for white liberals to get government grants and funding. That's the hustle.

Because China does it better. In the commemorative speech of the 100-year anniversary of the founding of the CCP, it was stated that China has never enslaved any groups of people in the world (obviously whoever wrote that speech has never studied the 5000 years of Chinese history in its entirety) and China is all about promoting peace and equality among all. So why not hold China to its words? To see what happens when all of the "disadvantaged people of color" (which by itself is a horrible prejudice and stereotype. Plenty of white people who are supposedly privileged live in trailer parks or worse in Walmart parking lots) go to China to better their lives to erase the inequality??

At the risk of straying off topic, there are settlements of blacks in the Guangdong area, and reports are they aren't very happy at how the police treat them.

And once these "disadvantaged people of poor" are gone from the West, there will be no more inequality because everybody here will be rich. LOL No need for Powell or anybody to do anything. The poor go to China to become rich, and the West gets rid of the poor to just have the rich. Problem gone on all fronts!!

Your obsession with China is over the top.

The problem with this line of thinking is it presumes there are only five or six people in the world capable of running a bank successfully and we must pander to them as demigods. If current CEOs are truly "giving up" billions in potential profits then they can feel free to leave their much less risky comp to pursue their billions; don't let the door hit their ass on the way out. There are hundreds if not thousands of equally knowledgeable, connected people, many far better leaders, who would be happy to do the job at a fraction of the comp.

Can you comp the head of BofA $1M a year? Obviously not. Do you get a better leader by paying them $25M than say, $7M? Or if you raise it to $100M do you magically end up with a 4x better person? I'm curious to see the data supporting that assertion? Flag officers in the military make less than $250k a year and I can tell you from first hand experience that they too have the leadership, connections, and knowledge to be making far more if they leave. By your logic, we need to be paying our top generals and admirals $25M a year as well?

Always the same complaining about minimum wage inflation but see no problems with executive pay inflation.

Oh, I guess that's why 90% of black farms disappeared in the early to mid 1900's. Did the dogwhistle also cause black farmers to lose out on USDA funding up until the 1996. What about the targeted drug laws in our country that still exist today.
