This is just a bunch of vague garbage. Sure, "don't trade your time for money, invest and make money off of your investments", but saying so is a lot harder than doing. All of this vague garbage is a lot easier for white upper class people that get nice interest free loans from their white upper class parents.

Naval is an Indian Born Self-made guy. Sure, it is hard. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

[cjohnson318]

I didn't know that about Naval. I'm used to hearing this sort of self-serving advice from "self-made" people that really weren't self-made at all. The reason this vague helpless advice is appealing to people is because the implication is that it IS easy, and that everyone CAN do it.

Don't be a racist.

[cjohnson318]

Pointing out the fact of white privilege and the fact that wealth often flows through generations in families is not a racist statement.

[gdy]

Designating a group of people by the color of their skin is racist.

[cjohnson318]

No, that's not what racism is. Racism is saying that a group is less human because of their skin tone or heritage. I am not saying that white people are less human; I am saying that they enjoy privileges in America that other racial or ethnic groups do not. This is not racism.

[gdy]

Nope, racism is saying that such group is better or worse in some way.

Now, are you saying that white people in 21st century America are enjoying something they don't have a right to have?
