    Because black/asian/latino billionaires are dandy and statistically not lobbying for their interest in detriment of humanity like white billionaires?

          In the US slightly over 96 percent of the top 1.1 million in wealth, are white. No billionaire is good, but he is talking about the US, where almost all the gross wealth inequity is in favor of white people.

              When you are talking about the US specifically it is pertinent. I know you want strip racist aspects of these things from the conversation, but that is stupid.

                Why would we talk about the US and why would the race matter there? Why are you adding the racist bits?

                You can’t just say a thing without bothering to explain to a person who clearly doesn’t understand something

                  Did you not look at the post you are commenting on before you decided to comment? I do not understand how you didn’t know this post was about the US when the person in the post is talking about the US’s independence day holiday, and the announcement of the passing of US legislation on that day, but believed you had a valid opinion on the subject. The whole thing is about the US. If you read a post, and you are uninformed about what it is talking about, or otherwise do not understand it, maybe rather than commenting what’s what about it, you instead look it up, or ask someone first.

                  Kevin Nash, the person who made the post in the screen shot, is talking about the US when he mentions white billionaires. There is a long, detailed, well understood, history of racism within the wealth disparity of the US. Racism that favors white men. If you would like to know that history, you can look it up, it is an easy subject to find information about.

                    Butterthumbs, attempt just attempt to do something more than making statements! Pretty please?

                    What difference would it make that we narrow the borders of the world to your(?) countries borders? Does your white billionaires act differently than any other billionaire?

        Yes, asking why white billionaires are worse is bait! Please make sure to treat it so and you might somehow justify for yourself why you don’t/can’t answer the question!

        That might be true, but it is also unnecessary to bring race into it. No war but class war is a phrase I really agree with, and making how white the 1% is part of the argument just plays into their game. Nothing would be lost in that argument if it was just happy 1% day.

        Sure, not sure how much I believe from the ccp propaganda tho!

        Are you by chance saying that he is a better billionaire because he is “yellow”?

          I’ll be honest, my thought was not fully formed when I posted. I saw “non-white billionaires” and it reminded how delightful it was how the CCP handled Jack Ma. I wish Elon Musk was treated a bit more like that, instead of being invited in oval office and being given a fucking department with a funky acronyms. Insanity doesn’t begin to cover it. Anyway, it appears there is some sort of white privilege going on, even within the 1%

            You know he was disappeared because he spoke up against the ccp? Aside from having 2 cringe public speakings, did he even do anything Elmo worthy?

            But the official story of him being a poor child of a very small village and starting a business with no capital that exports the non-agricultural output of very small villages outside of the capitalist bubble? That is not only self contradictory, not only an affront to the communists lifestyles tamp, but a fucking shit origin story… He could have held Mao’s balls when he birthed the nation or something!
