The myth of black capitalism

The average American doesn't know what capitalism, socialism, communism, or fascism means. They don't know what representative democracy means. They don't know what first past the post means. They don't even know that they have an electoral college let alone its role. The 3 branches of government are largely a mystery. And most Americans are under some kind of impression that the POTUS is some kind of benevolent dictator.

I'm not surprised that someone on twitter thinks capitalism solves poverty.

I had to read the second post twice to understand what it’s saying due to the non-standard grammar. But I’m a foreign speaker.

I’m asking an honest question out of curiosity: Was this easily legible to you?

FD Signifier is THE youtuber that i listen to on black issues, and this reminds me a lot of this video

Capitalism is a free market.

Capitalism is, for example, being able to buy a pack of cigarettes at $15 and sell them $2 a pop on the street to make $40.

We don’t have a free market; therefore we don’t have capitalism.

Capitalist action to support communist ideals.

Analysis of true, lifetime cost tacked onto the purchase price.

I think it's fucking bullshit they murdered Fred Hampton and got away with it.

White capitalism is what made black people slaves and pushed them into poverty.

Perhaps we need new ideas that help everyone.

Capitalism can't help anyone out of poverty at least not without exploiting masses.

True? Yes.

Funny? Not really.

/c/depressing would be a better fit

Capitalism has race now? Or are they suggesting to use race as a product?

You know that's really a brilliant rebuttal.

I agree, white capitalism is so last year, get with the latest fashion and use black capitalism.

Socialism is a cancer and Capitalism is, uh what cures cancer?

Or maybe race doesn't really exist outside our dumb little brains and capitalism was the real problem all along

I mean, it helped bolster rationale for enslaving black people. It's fair to say that capitalism tips the scales, steals your car, and then runs over your neighbor before disappearing with your spouse and your dog/cat.

Thank fuck.

White people get pegged for rich people bullshit too much.

Dunno poverty rates have dropped immensely since the introduction of capitalist systems.
