    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?

          If you attempt to understand that you are replying to something on the subject of the US, specifically, I might take time to explain something to you that could much more adequately be explained by reading an article found from a search on the subject.

            You have time to reply 40 times but you don’t have time to explain whether there is a difference between white and any other billionaires, and whether there is a diff between american and other billionaires…

              Also, I never said white billionaires were worse than others, I said that there is a reason to call out white billionaires with this piece of legislation due to it being american.

                  The US was systemically constructed to funnel wealth specifically to white men, like I said in the last comment. Your reading comprehension sucks. If you want a detailed explanation of this I suggest reading one of the many papers written on the subject, by experts, that are available online. For now, though, time to do something other than talk to an online wall. Have fun!

                    You are such a wonder to talk to… Time must work differently for you…

                    Can you actually name what policy, paper, event or whatever that totally happens am I supposed to look into?

              I am not typing out an academic paper for you to explain why someone talking specifically about the US would use the modifier “white” when discussing these issues, as they pertain to the US. If you are not able to grasp the concept of a conversation having a subject, and not discussing things outside of it, I doubt you would be able to grasp something more complicated.

                A very short oversimplification would be fine too, but pretty sure you won’t be doing that either as I am growing ever more certain that there is no difference between american or any other billionaires! And I think you think so too, for refusing to even say yes or no; reckon as a sort of deniability

                Buttercracker, I know that despite living in by far the most dystopian country that is hardly even becoming first world you think of yourself as special for some strange reason! But no, you can discuss about things that are universal or even completely other topics under any post! Even if its about the us!

                This is now your… 6th reply to me? Don’t lie to yourself, you have all the time in the world! So no you are not not answering the question for your lack of time

                  Because they US has been systemically constructed to funnel wealth specifically to white men. There are a lot of papers out there that discuss the history, reasoning, mechanics, etc of the whole thing, and why it is important. These papers are easy to find, if you actually want to know.

                  The fact that you think staying on subject is important here because the subject is the US, and not some other subject, is stupid. You can, physically, talk about anything, at any time. However, if you wander into a conversation about one group, doing a thing, and start interjecting talking points about another group, you are just being an asshole, at worse, or very unaware of how conversation is generally held, at best. I also never implied it was due to lack time. I have implied it was due to lack of desire to do the work, especially when that work has already been done, and is readily available online, by people who are experts in the subject matter.

                    If you can name what I am supposed to look for that would be jolly! Tho I very much so doubt that a specific sex and gender was at play at the choosing of the recipient of the corruption, but inflating that all white billionaires got their pointlessly large riches from that is just dumb! Most of them prob got them from other unethical methods/sources, like all billionaires regardless of their sex or ethnicity!

                    To the topic of ‘white men billionaire bad’, you find the question of ‘what is the diff between white and other billionaires’ to be obtuse?

                    And because I am foreign, I cannot ask that question? Would you explain to a foreign differently from that of your countryman?
