I saw people unironically suggesting Pepsi as an un-woke alternative lol.
It's funny you mention this because I've been buying a lot more Pepsi in recent times. I Love the Cherry Pepsi!

You 'systemic racism' guys really think that white people live off of old money huh? It's a pretty ridiculous assumption.
Uh oh, what did Pepsi do?
It might help to read what I actually wrote before coming at me with the knee-jerk reply.
I specifically wrote that the majority of whites may not be the beneficiaries of generational wealth, but that doesn't negate the fact that those who go without, still enjoy greater opportunities found in a middle class environment. Education and healthcare being the primary benefits.
So do you have anything to say about what I actually wrote? Or are we going to continue to play this game where you just read the first sentence of my post and assign me a position based on your preconceived bias? I never even mentioned anything about 'systemic racism'. Not a single word.
I'll make it easy.
Do you agree or disagree that wealth and the middle class were largely products of lending institutions and the post WW2 GI Bill?
Do you agree, that when someone has nothing, the ability to acquire a loan creates a snowball effect of asset accumulation?
If you don't, I'd love to hear your perspective.
Because there is no agree/disagree that blacks were redlined, and still to this day suffer from loan denials. It's gotten better, of course, but you can't deny that over the course of a few generations, which is all that we are talking about, whites were given opportunities that gave their children better social environments, healthcare, schools, etc. Whites were able to open up small businesses, and purchase more homes. Small businesses improved communities. That takes times. Blacks did not enjoy those opportunities and no amount of knee-jerk flippancy will erase that.
You said this is Biden's America as if it wasn't also Trump's America. And while Trump was the symptom rather than the disease, he fanned the flames A LOT more than Biden or any other president and that would be obvious to anyone who isn't a partisan hack or fanboy of his.Only the shit made up by the media...ya.
But if you think TRUMP was the reason for racial division and it wasn't selective or bias media ONLY REPORTING white on black violence with a racial narrative, then you sir...are dumber then I took you for.
Which is amazing.

Nobody talking about this?
Can't think of any possible way this is good. Coke is denying it. The screenshots have Coke's logo/water marks.
Biden's America! We voted this nonsense in. Enjoy racial division!
Hey could you please work on being less white? Thanks!American trash.
You're ignoring reality if you think identity politics and the culture war is only played on one side. It takes two to tango. In fact, it's played much more by the right since they lack any unifying policy positions, whereas the left has several such as M4A, fight for $15, universal public college, debt forgiveness, etc. The base of the Republican Party disagrees with their elected officials on policy, but they are attracted to them anyway due to cultural grievances which the party leaders exploit.All trump did was get elected. The rest is his reacting to everyone having a mental meltdown about it. While the media played race baiting identity politics on every fucking juice smollett new story.
Biden embraces identify politics. Trump was against it.

if middle class kids or poor kids want to waste money on college they can take out a student loan..... every race has access to this
if middle class kids or poor kids want to buy a house, they have to build a credit score....... every race has access to this.....if you're lower income they're grants and down payment assistance to help people buy a house.... its not rocket science..... literally ANYBODY can be middle class if they are not low IQ
Nope. We just happen to like the USA. We don't want it destroyed like you do with endless illegal immigration and high energy bills. And we like less regulation on small and medium sized businesses.
Places like Idaho are business friendly. California tries to end businesses. Simple.
