The median White family is worth $200,000. The median Black family is worth less than $20,000.
About 60% of American wealth is inherited, and among landlords it's certain to be an even bigger number.
The VAST majority of people who own property did not earn all that shyt themselves, but made a substantial portion of their money off of inheritance, investments, and economic rents. The VAST majority of Black families do not own shyt that they rent out to other people and are extremely disadvantaged in their ability to do so.
But the TLR rich
brigade is insisting that America is a meritocracy.
I ain't a Marxist at all, you've just displayed your ignorance of economic theory.
Why can't folk own their own property? In a country with as much land as America, with as much wealth as America, a country with far more homes than families to live in them, why can't every family own its own property?
The answers are:
1. Because property speculators buy up all the homes, far more than they need for their own family to live in, and thus drive up prices which keep everyone else from being able to afford entry into the market.
2. Because property owners insist on profiting off of charging rents rather than selling and letting the people who actually live there own their own home.
3. Because America has a history of fukking over Black folk (and many others) from their just earnings and destroying their wealth, making it impossible for them to own.
4. Because wages stay continuously depress so renters have to pour 30-40% of their earning into rent that builds NOTHING for them, but instead for you.
And you appear to want things to stay that way.
