I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

    Are black Americans oppressed in the US by being put in prison? Is it because they’re black or because they’re poor and thus more likely to need to do crime in order to survive?

    If there were a solution that brought the entirety of black Americans out of poverty by locking up the most dangerous 10% of them after a jury trial and conviction until they were rehabilitated, while massively investing in majority black areas to ensure poverty is no longer a thing in those areas, would you do it?

    This isn’t whataboubtism, before you fail to report me for that.

    Also Hong Kong was colonized until it was returned to China, it was never independent. I’m sorry white people lost their tax haven.
