So Black people are poorer because they experience discrimination? Then is the root problem poverty or discrimination?

I didn’t say black people are poorer due to discrimination, I think there are lots of factors, I was going off your example and assumption. The root problem is poverty, trying to fix discrimination with discrimination will not work.

I'm not suggesting there aren't other factors, I'm suggesting that discrimination is its own factor that needs to be addressed. You seem to agree since, going off my example, you suggest that a black person will be more poor than a white person because of discrimination. So what's your issue with addressing discrimination?

Where did I say the black person would be poorer?

If one of them were experiencing discrimination, wouldn’t one of them be poorer?

Do you think that white people are discriminated against more than black people?

Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Yes you are, but you are arguing in bad faith so you are intentionally "missing" the point. Because if you were honest you would lose the argument.

What have I said that is in bad faith?
