    That's a load of blather.

    Racism is systemic and has never disappeared from America.

    The above post exemplifies how entrenched racism is.

    Not credible. That's another line of "I didn't vote for Trump ... but...".

    And you have the nerve to accuse someone else if speaking fluent gobbledy gook. All I know is anyone rational understands that different skill sets will get paid differently and that's how you insure that people try to improve themselves and there skills over time. If everyone is paid the same no one will do the hard and sometimes dangerous stuff society needs done in order for society as a whole to grow and prosper.

    Wealth is and does none of those things on its own. You could win or inherit $10m tomorrow, and lose it all within a year.

    I understand about 2/3 of lottery winners are broke and in debt up to their eye balls within five years.

    There is no such thing as sytemic racism. It is a myth created by leftist elites to explain away the destructive effect of their disasterous policies on the African American family.

    Then again the left long ago set it's sights on destroying the nuclear family because they thought government should raise kids rather than parents and the destructiveness of such myths must been concealed at all costs even that of society itself.

    Hey, its not my fault that you think right wing thought is 'gobbledy gook'!

    Discrimination is obviously a curse. But the amusing aspect is that, when its mentioned, right wingers only highlight how little they know. When that knowledge deficiency leads to them attacking right wing economics, I can't help but smile.

    Is that the best you can do? Wowsers! You're making a Trumpster look well informed here.

    Come on, try something a tad more high powered. Where do you think the Marxist approach to discrimination goes astray, particularly in regards its dismissal of the right wing 'taste for discrimination' approach?

    "Right wing economics" yet another of the semantic nullities filling your empty posts to this forum. "decomposition methodology?" "human capital criteria?" blablabla, such repetitive baloney and junk.

    Entrenched enough to elect a black president twice.... where if just 1% of Americans were genuinely true racists, he would never have had a chance. Explain how entrenched racism chose a black president.

    The people perpetuating racism ARE the black people They fear they will somehow lose without the advantage of it. It grants them victimhood and sympathy based on color regardless of behavior.
    The respectable people in the black community know it; they aren't the ones doing it. but there are far too many in the black world that are eager to promote the idea we are all racists.

    You should do some research on the views of the respectable black community. While they are reluctant to call it publicly, they know who their worst enemy is, and they know it's the blacks who carry racism like a chip on the shoulder, who draw it like a weapon at every opportunity- not white people.

    For example, start by reading this book, written by a black man (Taleeb Starkes) who is fed up with the trash among his culture; and the damage they do to both his race and the nation.
    Of course, you could just read FBI crime statistics. That's enough to scare anyone.

    Other than being an example of why forums have an "ignore" feature, do you have anything relevant to the discussion?

    There's no such thing as "right wing economics," it doesn't exist any more than "left wing economics." Anyone using such nonsense terms instantly brands themselves as both doctrinaire and ignorant.

    Sorta like people who toss around phrases like"no such thing", perhaps assuming their ignorance means things don't exist or use the word "never"?

    America Was a Soviet Experiment in Runaway Capitalism. The Results Are In, and They’re Not Pretty.

    I'm thinking when people throw around phrases like "rightwing economics" what they are referring to is "cronyism" .

    O look, someone googled an article from the internet claiming that now, like alien abductions, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, the term "right wing economics" means something real in any credible scholarly, legal or historical way despite that as a matter of irrefutable fact and not opinion, it means n-o-t-h-i-n-g.

    Compounded ignorance. Irony. Is it any wonder they end up with the political views they express?

    Love the innocence. What do you think supply side economics was? What do you think Friedman was? What do you think the Chicago School is? How come all have been used to coerce market fundamentalism, enforcing even greater inequalities?

    I appreciate, mind you, that right wingers won't often know anything about economics. They seem to think chanting supply and demand covers all bases ;)
