Comment on Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to
over_clox@lemmy.world 2 days agoThe original post suggests that only a certain category (minorities) wealthy people should help people of their own race. That statement itself is biased towards certain races…
All wealthy people should be at least partly helping struggling people in some way, shape or form, regardless of color. They should just straight up tax the rich a wealth tax to help people in need.
To make it about race and/or skin color is itself … racist …
Tax the rich yo, what’s any of this got to do with color?

i don’t see that being said anywhere. was it edited? it does not imply that at all. they’re saying minorities should help minorities. stating all billionaires should be taxed is a separate statement. both can be true.

This statement should be observed as a form of basic set theory.
“Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to”
Within the context of the wording from OP, this restricts the focus to people of color. The same concept should apply to all though, tax the rich and help those in struggle.

the focus is on POC because the conversation is about POC supporting minority groups. it’s meant to highlight unity against oppression but the most wealthy have abandoned the oppressed group they’re within instead. that is a unique thing not shared by everyone.
