White capitalism is what made black people slaves and pushed them into poverty.
Perhaps we need new ideas that help everyone.
This is just called capitalism.
I mean, it gives deference to rich people, but when it was legal to discriminate against POC, they had a massive disadvantage in pretty much every aspect of their lives. Not perfect, but much improved now...
Africans enslaved and sold other Africans by the millions for centuries before white people arrived on the continent. Though they certainly made it worse when they did.
People enslaved their opponents in war for essentially as long as humans have existed, until we decided slavery was an evil we should avoid. However, this was not generally chattel slavery. Usually their offspring were not slaves and they were not bread to create more slaves, like livestock.
This is a good read if you want to learn more.
I'm not sure you have enough of a historical framework on population to make the claim you're mindlessly repeating, but I appreciate that you "people" out yourselves so readily so normal humans can avoid you. Good luck on truth social or Facebook or x I guess.
