1. Racismo: ¿Causa de la Pobreza o Arma Política?
Existe un fuerte rechazo a la narrativa que sugiere que la pobreza es la causa directa del racismo. En cambio, muchos argumentan que el racismo es una herramienta política utilizada por los ricos para desviar la atención de los problemas económicos y limitar el poder político de los pobres.
- Racism is not a natural condition of poverty but a political weapon that rich men use to constrain poor peoples political power.
- Poverty doesnt cause racism, as is evident with all the rich racists about, however, racists exploit financial hardship by giving people somewhere to put their frustrations.
- Poverty is bad because it causes racism no. Poverty is bad. Racism is also bad. But poor people are not all, or even mostly, racist and racist people are very often not poor. Solving poverty would not solve racism, but we should do it anyway because poverty is bad.
- I appreciate the sentiment but i really do worry about this increasingly common narrative among left leaning politicians suggesting that poverty is a determinant of racism.
- Poverty doesnt cause racism, but demagogues certainly know that poor people are often angry at their plight, and looking for someone to blame.
2. La Racialización y Demografía de la Pobreza en EE. UU.
El debate subraya cómo la pobreza en Estados Unidos ha sido históricamente "codificada por color", asociando la imagen de la pobreza con minorías, a pesar de que la mayoría de las personas pobres son blancas. Se enfatiza que la pobreza para las comunidades negras es un resultado directo del racismo sistémico.
- The truth is, the majority of people living in poverty in america today are not black. They are white, rural americans, children and veterans.
- Black people are over twice as likely as whites to live in poverty thanks to years of stealing black wealth and racial discrimination in housing, banking, education, and employment.
- We have, unfortunately color coded poverty and saddled that description with all of the racist baggage about intelligence, work ethic, and morality. Even poor white people identify with that dog whistle.
- The white poverty rate in the us is roughly 9.5, less than half the black poverty rate.
- The face of poverty in america is much more rural and white than some folks realize.
- Poverty is a construct, designed to keep black americans trapped there.
3. El Papel de las Élites y el Capitalismo en la División Social.
Se argumenta que las élites ricas utilizan la pobreza y la inseguridad económica, exacerbadas por el capitalismo y la supremacía blanca, para enfrentar a los grupos de bajos ingresos entre sí, impidiendo la solidaridad de clase y asegurando que los blancos pobres toleren su situación mientras las minorías estén peor.
- Hes not saying poverty causes racism. Hes saying that wealthy elites exploit the hardship people experience to pit people against each other. Divide and rule.
- Poor whites will accept poverty so long as black people are poorer.
- Poverty equals wealth, but only for those who are wealthy! once you cut through their bullshit. Youll see they keep you busy with race hating social divisions.
- Black folks are poor because of capitalism and white supremacy. Poverty is a feature of that two systems that work perfectly well together to subjugate and oppress the black working class.
- The ugliness of racism amplifies poverty.
- If you can convince the lowest white man hes better than the best colored man, he wont notice youre picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and hell empty his pockets for you. Lbj.
