    What goal posts? An answer to your question was attempted, not moving anything.

    My narrative is that wealthy Whites have manipulated poor and middle class Whites to vote against their own interests in order to keep African-Americans and other POC down.
    That was in my OP.

    I'm not sure I follow you. Speaking from personal experience though, I can tell you I haven't noticed any deep rift between African-Americans and Latinos.
    I live in a city that is about 80% Latino. I get along with my Latino neighbors beautifully.
    Of course there are differences between us. But, not enough to cause any problems.
    Many Whites (especially the MAGA cult ones) dislike Latinos as much as they dislike African-Americans.

    You're factually incorrect.

    Definition of racism

    1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
    2a: a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
    b: a political or social system founded on racism
    3: racial prejudice or discrimination

    Again, factually incorrect.

    Yes we know.

    They're the same people that have been running cities since the 60's and are promoting current rioting and racial strife.

    They're called Democrats.

    In what way? What are wealthy whites tricking poor and middle class whites into voting for?

    Racism is an individual characteristic.

    Systemic racism has absolutely been stomped out.

    That's why millions of people all over the world bust their asses to escape their countries to get here.

    Only white people are so inferior that they are capable of racism.

    The other races are superior in this manner.

    Made myself laugh.

    And you don't think MAGA type folks (Republicans) have anything to do with it?
    Actually, I believe the billionaire class, like Trump, are the wealthy people mentioned in the OP.
    Of course, there are wealthy Democrats too.

    You evidently believe only certain races can be racist or be targets of racism.

    They trick them into being against universal healthcare. That is something that would help everyone. But, the poor and middle class Whites are usually against it. Why? Because they think it will help African-Americans and other POC. So, to keep from helping African-Americans and other POC, they reject universal healthcare.

    So the white poor and middle class oppose "universal healthcare" because they afraid it will also help African-Americans and people of color?

    That explains your genocide comment. I honestly didn't realize why you hated white people so much but if you really think that, then yeah, it makes some sense.

    You are entitled to your opinion. I have never stated that I don't like Whites or that I believe I'm better than they are.
    I am no better than anyone else, and I seek to get along with everyone I come in contact with, no matter their skin color.

    I already did but could have guessed the gist anyways. The people who believe discrimination and racism is OK when directed at whites all use the same justifications to excuse it.

    So your theory is that Minneapolis is "Trump country".

    I wonder if you realize the way you feel is the definition of racism.

    No, it isn't. I am merely pointing out the racist foundation of the USA.
    And how would you know how I feel?
