well assuming poverty is the issue. solve the poverty. for all people. i dont see why it makes sense to focus on a just so happens to be related group.

or is black poverty acceptable because it was forced on them by the white man? whereas all poor white people deserve it?

I'm just pointing out that it's incredibly magnanimous for you to ponder the thought that maybe black people don't have to be poor. Like I said, incredibly magnanimous.
Where did I say they have to be poor, or should be poor?

If you read the thread, I'm the one who isn't implicitly conflating the 2, which I suspect is at least part of the disconnect.

This is why I don't get arguments mentioning slavery etc. Because poverty and blackness are separate. You don't need a racial component to go about fixing that. So the snark is wrong.

>Where did I say they have to be poor, or should be poor?

I didn't say or suggest you said that.
