Yes and no. Non-Nordic white culture inherently breeds inequity. Very few white people were benefiting from their prior atrocities and white fckery . They dont share the wealth the way african, east asian, arab , and latin american societies do.

Even at the hieght of white dominance during antebellum slavery , it was only a few rich white people surrounded by millions of poor white people.


Its actually fascinating to see modern racists yearn for the confederate era when most whites were poor and didnt own slaves because they were priced out of the market. Their ancestors also couldnt find work because their (4% of the population white) bretheren had slaves doing all the work. They were effectively living vicariously through that 4% of white people in slave states that could live well. In the entire country it was a little more than 1% who could afford an enslaved person.

Even if you move the clock forward to something like the gilded age during reconstruction , it was very similar to now where poor whotes were fooled into supporting a pres McKinley who existed soley to help the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and carnegies while the rest of the whites lived in squalor.


Even later on with jim crow discrimination from things like the gi bill only going to whites, only 5.2% of the American population got those benefits. While i grant you that these education and home loan benefits were denied to black people; more than 80percent of the white populous didnt get them either.

This is what i mean about the inequity of white society.



They were often too stupid or too racist to realize whiteness itself wasnt benefitting them and that their lives werent getting better no matter how much they screwed over minorities. I truly believe the world would be radically different if whites actually listened to King's economic message to white America because that was the only way whites as a group could flourish instead of only their Grant Cordone(s) or Elon(s) getting wealthy

Arab? Arab society didn’t share wealth. Quite the opposite

This makes no sense at all

It does bruh. If you’re willing to work hard, most people can figure it out and become something but the lionshare of people are not willing to work hard. The opportunities are there. A lot of people just don’t have it in them to work hard for 5 years straight. I just started to turn the corner financially in the last 3-4 years and I know 80% of people would’ve given up if they had to do what I did.

If you’re white, he’s absolutely right.

If you’re black, it’s more complicated but still kinda doable.

Winning in America is about consistently stacking things in your favor. Being white, male, educated, and from a upper middle class background it’s almost impossible to fukkup barring drug use

That’s how I see it too.

Islam quite literally has distribution to the poor as one of their five tenants. It comes right after praying five times a day.


It was also in the prekabal tribal religions prior to Islam.


Wealth distribution doesn't get more embedded into their society than that.

Ok so in this list of the most unequal countries in the world, why is the top of the list dominated by Muslim countries?

With all due respect, I don't think you know how to read your own data. A lower gini coefficient is a good thing. :snoop:


It's an inverse scale, breh. So all the places you're seeing blue mean that they have a low inequality. Notice how the entire Arab world is blue with the absence of stateless places like libya which cant gather data. Only places like Morroco are outliers


Using your own chart, the arab world resembles scandanavia.
