    There are more white non-homeowners in the US than the entire US black population and wealthy black people have no problem owning homes. The biggest correlation is wealth.

    The wealthy have solidarity in their wealth while us poors find reasons to divide ourselves, be it race, religion, sexuality, or level of relative poorness. Imagine the power we’d have to fi change this country if we were allies instead.

        Accomplice implies crime. Can you explain the intent behind using accomplice, as opposed to ally, when it comes to worker class solidarity?

          Any effective action will be illegal because the people who write the laws don’t want to lose power.

          Power is never relinquished peacefully.

            I agree, but hey, if killing people in droves is legal and profitable, I don’t know how respectable the laws of that land truly are.

              We don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system and lawyers will correct you carefully on that all the time.

    Hey don’t worry, you can always illegally camp as a hermit in some wild area and hope a compatible hermit comes along to start a family with you before you get shot by a park ranger.

    It’s far more likely than owning a home the boomer way.

      Well now hang on a second…this might work. You do the cooking and the cleaning, and I’LL wear the bear suit, and try to slaughter park rangers before they shoot me.

        Any system can be changed. It’s just a matter of how many people want to change it.

        China prior to WWII had ruled for like 1000 years. Now it’s a totally different system.
