When the central bank inflates the money supply 40% in the span of a few years, causing skyrocketing asset prices and a massive wealth inequality, yet we are squabbling about how privileged the average white person is.
It's far larger than just what I'm talking about here, agreed. It ain't just a black and white subject at all.
Given the topic of the post and Bryan Cranston's quote, my words were in attempt to be on topic of that with the larger scale issues being mentioned as small part of the systemic injustice that effect us all. It is much, much grander than white folk's privilege, but that's what I was commenting on.
Which coincidentally ties into another aspect I've been thinking on and seen mentioned. The issue where the world is exceptionally complex and it's easy to boil things down into one thing. In this case, you've seen my comment as a specific aspect of discussing only white people's privilege verses what I was intending, which is to align my words with the topic, instead of writing a dissertation on every aspect of the injustices we're all facing. And in this case, you've replied to my mentioning one issue with your own one issue of banks and wealth inequality.
I only mean to say it's bigger than banks/wealth inequality, and far bigger than just white people's feelings and privilege, but it's easier to digest.
I didn't mean to offend by discussing only white people on the topic of the post. It only felt pertinent. You're absolutely right that banks and wealth inequality are a huge problem, though.
