    The racial wealth gap is a selective problem that is encompassed entirely within the general, race-less problem of poverty in the United States. Fixing the big problem also checks off your small one.

      Great; then you shouldn’t object to fixing the racial wealth gap as a way to end poverty. Unless you actually are fine with Black people being poorer and having worse access to education than white people?

        I object to only solving part of the problem in a way that disadvantages other groups. Lifting a certain group out of poverty while suppressing another, entirely based on race is, well, racist. Kinda simple

          So we enslave, murder, and steal from a whole group of people and then turn around and say that helping them afterwards is racist?

          What a bad take.

            Not at the expense of other races. In 2023 you don’t exactly get to choose what races you value over others. Thanks SCOTUS.
