We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I thought the republicans hated DEI.
It's always white people who are against non-whites becoming billionaires and millionaires. Whites say they want opportunities for non-whites to be successful, but they do nit support entrepreneurs so that a dark skinned person works towards becoming a multimillionaire from their merits.
Well to be fair, meritorious people do not become multimillionaires.
You can make 2 million through your own labor, without exploitation.
Well I don't know if I am convinced that's true, but even so, I think we have different definitions of "merit". Like, didn't Jesus say something about the difficulty of getting rich men into heaven?
But more to the point, it seems to me that if we supported more brown and black people in their financial aspirations, and if we had more Black and Latino and Asian representation in the millionaire community, would anything be different? I don't think so, we'd just have more black and brown and Asian people trying to maintain income inequality and the power structures of oppression.
Because it's not just about race, but class.
I think that's an overgeneralization. I'm bi-racial. To blame one skin color, regardless of the color, and say all of a particular group do this or do that, is incorrect. Thanks!
When do white people state publicly that they want non-whites and immigrants to be entrepreneurs to get wealthy through the free market and open competition to become millionaires and billionaires?
When do people of color state publicly that they want non-whites and immigrants to be entrepreneurs to get wealthy through the free market and open competition to become millionaires and billionaires?
Who is people of color and which people do not have color?
Who do you think?
