    Du Bois traced the high rates of poverty, crime and illiteracy prevalent in Philadelphia’s Black community to discrimination, divestment and residential segregation – not to Black people’s degree of ambition or talent

    There's also the fact that people who lack "ambition or talent" (two vaguely defined and subjective things) don't deserve to suffer as fucking second-class citizens

    Capitalism creates a system where a disgusting pedophile can be wealthy and live a life of royalty but a kind and generous person can suffer all their lives if they're poor.

          Tradcaths are a favorite punching bag of the left, but Mel Gibson and the Little Caesar's owner are just two guys with zero pull. There are dozens of prosperity gospel televangelists that are much more influential in chud circles.
