    It’s not that simple. Racist folks in America don’t care they are poor as long as minorities are even poorer

    True, but they wouldn’t push to keep other races down just so they’re below them so they can feel better about their own problems. Or at least wouldn’t be pushing so far down.

    They wouldn’t have as many problems to blame on other races either.

    It’s not like anything besides 100% solving racism is a waste of time. And keep in mind, this is just a positive side effect to actually helping everyone…

    It’s like turning down a free steak because the potatoes isn’t big enough…

      They’re turning down the free steak because the [insert ethnicity/whatever difference here] person might get one too.

        And mainly because currently they don’t really need the free steak, or don’t think they do. Government funded health care? Nah, I can afford insurance. Then an accident happens and they go broke. Then they want the free steak.
