There are more white non-homeowners in the US than the entire US black population and wealthy black people have no problem owning homes. The biggest correlation is wealth.

The wealthy have solidarity in their wealth while us poors find reasons to divide ourselves, be it race, religion, sexuality, or level of relative poorness. Imagine the power we’d have to fi change this country if we were allies instead.

Normalise saying accomplice instead of ally

Money only care about money. Everything else is an excuse to get more.

Hey don't worry, you can always illegally camp as a hermit in some wild area and hope a compatible hermit comes along to start a family with you before you get shot by a park ranger.

It's far more likely than owning a home the boomer way.

Well now hang on a second......this might work. You do the cooking and the cleaning, and I'LL wear the bear suit, and try to slaughter park rangers before they shoot me.

This system can be changed. It won't be easy.

You don't have to limit yourself to the same country so there may be other options as well.
