True, but whites have also had many more generations to build wealth and significantly more economic opportunities geographically since they're way more of them and they're spread across more areas thoughtout the country. And of course racism will never play a role in impeding any economic opportunities as it will **********, Blacks mainly. So when weighed properly, the welfare rate disparate is not nearly as wide as it may seem and is probably much closer to being an even rate as instrinsic studies on race almost always show.
The whole welfare caricature has for decades been a code word in political circles for describing blacks. When it's called out, of course people will say "but i never mentioned race". That's the reason for using the code words the first place. But that's basically the entire basis of the southern strategy which used racial tension as a means of getting disaffected white voters to vote against their own interest and is the reason many of them don't even believe in global warming despite having absolutely no scientific basis for denying it. Now a generation later, they want to blame ***s and immigrants for the loss of wealth and a shrinking middle class, when in fact it nothing to do with them. It was NAFTA, outsourcing, tax cuts and deregulation. But the same thing occurs on the ******* side to tho. Simply by not being the racist party, that's enough for most ********** to vote ********. Then they keep policies in place that benefit corporate America. It's also the reason MSNBC is freaking out that Bernie Sanders, an actual progressive, might be the nominee
I get what you're saying, referring to welfare totally is an insidious way of being racist sometimes. Anyway, yeah, also as you say, not the right thread to jump off into this topic
Re: gloves, it all seems a bit far-fetched to me tbh
