The trope of the plainly dressed billionaire and the “blinged out” poor person is evergreen among a variety of posters. From the socially liberal dupe, who moved to San Francisco has nine roommates and hopes to soon find an Investor for their doordash clone, to the “South Park” Conservative who imagines he’d be a tech billionaire by now if the tech space weren’t so PC.

It’s funny because in most versions if this meme, the person who made it, always makes sure the poor person isn't black but is draped with everything rappers wore in rap videos from the early aughts. You basically end up with Eminem from the Slim Shady LP (usually with a gold grill added) standing next to a Philipino version of Steve Jobs.

Let me guess, he’s in favor of defunding the police and using the money to invest in early childhood, education programs, better k-12 nutrition and extra curricular activities, and child care subsidies as well as a care packages for new parents.

Santorum is an Italian surname. Italians did not migrate in substantial numbers until the late 1800's - a quarter millennium after the institutionalization of slavery.

So when he says "we" built on the "nothing" that was there, I wonder who he has in mind.

What a disgusting, racist, and idiotic reframing of the beginning of this country

 

[kdawg]

That's just another of the perpetuated lies about the origins of the USA - there weren't just a few natives living on the plains - there were 10s of millions of them and they were systematically wiped out by a brutal regime.

This is the guy Scam Jones would weep with and try to convince.

Goes to show you can be highly educated and have all kinds of accolades but racism, ignorance and greed can reign supreme.

i don't know if it's ignorance. it's purposeful, which makes it even more egregious and revolting. the whiteashing of our country's history has always been lurking around every corner waiting for the perfect moment to be taken up by someone with power,
or at least a voice
