I think everyone should be wealthy, then racism will finally be solved! Why aren’t they trying that?!

Comment on Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE?

Wealth absolutely overrides race. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but ICE isn’t raiding the nicest restaurants in town or the country clubs.

I think they’ve been trying to print more money so everyone can just have more but it doesn’t seem to be going well for some reason.

Wealth overrides race in situations where wealth is a know factor. Otherwise totally famous/wealthy black/POC are still targeted to their shock.

That’s not really a good example. He was fully masked and all the people involved were black (the bank teller who called the cops, the cops that showed up, etc.). He was also sketchy with writing an awkward note to withdraw a large sum of money and that he wanted it done discreetly. It was still a fuck up on Bank of America’s part, but in this instance I give the bank teller some amount of understanding when the entire context is taken into considering. Ryan Coogler even said he was satisfied with how BoA apologized and whatnot.
All that being said, if it was a poor person in this situation… I highly doubt the outcome would’ve been so cordial

Fair enough. I spent <5 seconds googling and choose the least spammy looking result on the front page.
