real good stuff. i still can't believe the US surpreme court of 2024 is now allowing the economic homeless(poor/proletariat) to be thrown into camps/jail for being homeless. this is how we're addressing the homeless situation, elysium/SA partide concentration camps.

Wait to see what's coming next as The Honorable Senator Prescott Bush's vision of a Nazi United States one world order becomes reality, the business plot.

What about poor white people? Is that systemic racism? I get that racism exists, but poverty is a much bigger problem that impacts people regardless of race or ethnicity.

I agree. Poor so- called white people do have it worst because they are like so-called black folks. Grouped into one of two categories and labeled as such. However there’s no geographical location for white nor black folks. They are both political constructs and working hard to rid these labels May not happen in our lifetime brother. Money is the master here for individuals in both groups.
