Yes, there's quite a "wealth" gap in North Korea. I'm assuming it's racism since North Korea is definitely not a capitalist economy.Is there a wealth gap in NK? Is there a racial wealth gap in NK?
Ah were you under the impression racism and capitalism are the only possible sources of poverty?Yes, there's quite a "wealth" gap in North Korea. I'm assuming it's racism since North Korea is definitely not a capitalist economy.
Those are the only two we've discussed so far. Why do you think poverty exists in North Korea?Ah were you under the impression racism and capitalism are the only possible sources of poverty?
Those poor Koreans live under capitalism. The rich ones are socialists. That’s kind of how it is in every “socialist” country. Damn! If capitalism could just be extinguished from the face of the earth and replaced by pure socialism everybody would be rich like the socialist Koreans!Those are the only two we've discussed so far.

Corruption and geopolitics.Those are the only two we've discussed so far. Why do you think poverty exists in North Korea?
Corruption by who?Corruption and geopolitics.
Isn't North Korea one of those centrally planned economies? If so, how is that corruption?The ruling party
So why is there a racial wealth gap? Do black people not make the right decisions, work their ass off , follow the law, and be personally responsible for their actions at the same rate as white people? If so, is that genetic or cultural? If it is cultural, why do black people have a culture distinct from the rest of America that falls so neatly along racial lines?It's like personal sacrifice, making the right decisions, working your ass off, following the law and being personally responsible for your own actions is a foreign idea to a leftist.

Corruption because the government picks winners and losers? I thought that was a known feature of central planning.How is that not corruption?
If you would pull your head out of your leftist ass you would see what's going on. I swear it's like you either have never had exposure to the black community or you refuse to see the the problems are mostly self inflicted. I've spent time in these communities trying to help only to finally figure out no amount of help will ever be enough. They have been either convinced or brainwashed into thinking they can not succeed in this country by Democrats. Everything they've heard for almost 6 decades is how persecuted they are, how they are victims and will never be able to escape poverty. Hell I don't think I could have overcome the obstacles I did if that is all I ever heard.So why is there a racial wealth gap?

Bearcat: No such thing as systemic racism in America, success and failure is determined completely by the individualIf you would pull your head out of your leftist ass you would see what's going on.

There is a reason that immigrants come to this country without being able to speak the language, know nothing of the culture, customs or laws and yet are somehow able to not only make it but prosper.
Go rewatch your "definitive" proof of Biden's racism and get back to me.
The party of diversity elected a less wealthy, less racist old white dude to the presidency. Feel better?
I make no excuses for Joe Biden's history on issues of race. If you had said you doubted his sincerity based on his opposition to school desegregation and busing, his pandering to the clearly racist constituency that kept him in office during the 70s and 80s, and his questionable language as recent as 2007 you and I would largely agree.
Throwing in Robert Byrd, using your 20/20 hindsight to rightfully point out that the 1994 crime bill was disastrous to communities of color, or use purported statements from crackhead Hunter as evidence of Joe's current frame of mind is total bullshit. You can push that as hard as you like - it isn't going to stick.
As for me, I tolerate Joe Biden because the alternative was much worse. Trump would say just about anything to get a bump in the polls and seemed to enjoy seeing people react to his hateful rhetoric. Trump held brown and black people in open contempt. More importantly, Trump actively sought to harm people of color and other easy targets like Muslims. We can argue this point if you like.
But as for Joe Biden, he is accountable for his past actions and words. What I've seen so far is a concerted effort to reunite families, demilitarization of policing, a concerted effort to focus on decarceration. Those are hopeful signs that perhaps Biden is working to atone for his past. If he wavers, if he takes harmful action then you better believe the tolerance that has been extended to Joe won't hold.
In case you were wondering, Dave answered yes to your question with his laughing emoji@davidallen
Does it bother you that you can’t back up any of the bullshit that comes outta your mouth?
