*13/87* : American society has been an explicit white ethnostate with explicit white affirmative action privileges on the books for approximately 87% of the time between 1619 - 2021. The last *EXPLICIT* governmental policy of white affirmative action was done away with via the 1968 fair housing act (less than 55 yrs ago) which only said that EXPLICIT discrimination in matters of housing wasn't allowed (white only signs). We are currently living in the 13% of American history since 1619 characterized by no EXPLICIT white affirmative actions privilege written into law...Also...whites are the only racial group in America that even had to make it illegal for other races to compete with them equally...for the majority of the history of the United States in fact.
CORPORATIONS ARE PAID BILLION AND CEO GET MILLIONS YET IT TOOK MY COUSIN 33 YEARS TO GET A $6 RAISE. SHE HAS A COLLEGE DEGREE. POVERTY AND WAGE SUPPRESSION IS A REAL THING AND PART OF AMERICA'S PLAN TO KEEP POVERTY WHILE CAPITALIZING OFF A GROUP OF PEOPLE

@gary grine recognizing wage suppression and deciding to become an entrepreneur as a result of it is a win-win for me and a failure for you

Having babies by multiple fathers outside of marriage.That was one of the reason for shotgun marriages in the 1950's.That was before we glorified single motherhood in the 1960's.

I wholly agree, they also keep poverty around to make sure the slowly disappearing middle class stay fearful and distracted on that rat race treadmill to keep from being impoverished.
