| Comment | While class is certainly a huge factor it still is fundamentally a race problem. White people on aggregate across the world have had it much better off. Being a poor dude from Easterhouse is still miles better than being from the slums of Mumbai or the ghettos of Kingston. The sustained wealth of the western world allowed us to build industry, infrastructure, provide schools, create jobs, and a huge contributing factor to all this wealth which allowed for us to do all this was the exploitation of people of colour around the world which is very much still benefiting you and me.
Edit: Just because there might be a poor white guy in Easterhouse and a rich black guy in Hyndland doesn't mean the legacy of colonialism is officially over. Sorry it is not going to be that easy.
