And then drugs were introduced into black and brown neighborhoods in the 70s, which brought back the gap even further

Racism was the greatest scam pulled by the ultra wealthy that duped poor whites into thinking that being white sufficed for zero labor or human rights 😭😳

racism has had more tangible consequences than economic disparities, but this is one of MANY systems. Capitalism and racism are kissing cousins

Send this to the young black gentleman who was on jubilee with Amanda Seals. He doesn’t believe systemic racism is real. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️Sometimes it’s the messenger.

Also, there were multiple wealthy black communities that were literally destroyed by white people, and anyone who survived was displaced. (Ex. Tulsa, Rosewood, Seneca Village, etc)

Thank you for mentioning WW2. That’s when my grandad came of age, went to college, joined the military, became one of the 1st Black officers and changed the trajectory of our family. He retired on a military pension and kept working in the private sector
