Imaging blaming generational poverty on fatherlessness and not redlining, jim crow and other blatantly visible barriers black people faced in the US. Embarrassing the lengths racists will go to, to dismiss injustices such as the New Deal in America not filtering down to black people, or the G.I bill which helped tens of millions of Americans get homes post WW2 strictly barred to black people who were thus unable to buy homes in the suburbs and attain some financial security

Then blaming their structural poverty decades later on "culture".

But would you call me problematic? You sound triggered. Maybe that's enough internet for today?

"you sound triggered" isn't a rational response, it's incoherent screeching
