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.

I didn't say or suggest you said that.
