If you blame Black American communities for their relative poverty, remember that Black Americans were stolen from a continent, trafficked, and enslaved for nearly 300 years.
Tell me again about how your family ‘started from nothing’ when they immigrated. Didn’t they start from whiteness? Seems like a pretty good start.
The American Dream required dual genocides, but tell me again about fairness and equal opportunity. Tell me about democracy, modeled after the Iroquois Confederacy. Tell me your proud heritage, and I will show you the violence that made it so.

For some reason, I always side eye white people who say "don't clump me with "real" racists" or "don't generalize us, we're not all like that" because if they are truly offended by statements that have "White people (insert whatever statement here)" then maybe that statement is true about them and they know it. Because if the statement wasn't true about them, why would they have to voice their opinion against it and feel offended?...
