Your view on USA is a total oversimplification as there are many factors at play. We can start with black poverty, it’s mostly comes from years of systemic racism all the way from Jim Crow, redlining and modern day racism with the justice system, Banks, poor schools etc to be something as black person takes twice as much effort as a white person, this is has also caused a lot of societal breakdowns which generally leads to bad choices and thus the cycle of poverty. For many whites who are also very poor, it’s hard to understand how they botched a 400 yr head start and a system that’s rigged in their favor. According to me, whites will continue to vote against their own interests as long as it punishes minorities. It’s a weird way of thinking or mind control. A regular white person has been fed so much propaganda and indoctrination that will take years to deprogram, they are told things like universal healthcare is socialism while a single ailment bankrupt them but it’s okay as long as blacks and other minorities do not get universal healthcare. It’s a system where everyone is sick from bad food, water, pollution etc so the fear is if everyone gets healthcare, they will not be able to access their doctors. The system makes you sick so you are always seeking help, it’s mind boggling. In other developed countries, they insist on preventative measures and therefore less need. The poverty is America is tied to racism, it’s very expensive. If people ask for increased minimum wage, whites vote against it because it will kill businesses, the same businesses exploiting them with major profits and CEOs making billions. It’s about racism and making sure minorities stay poor and uneducated. This is actually the reason we have Trump, with blacks becoming more educated and wealthier, black women are the most educated demographic in the USA, this is really scary to some whites, the want to make America great again for white man, Christian, straight etc where the most mediocre get the best jobs and blacks are labeled DEI. It’s an attempt to to take the country back to the 50s. This is why we have a defund education, anti intellectuals, do not teach history etc too many blacks have been benefiting from DEI push and especially in the universities. We live in interesting times but racism is very expensive to USA, they are not going to be able to compete with China, the empire is on its knees.
