And this is how liberals ultimately radicalized people. So in keeping with this, anyone charges me differently, and I'll say White Power all day. After all, they say I am already racist just for being white, so I may live up to your expectation. Being nice and understanding this far hasn't worked anyway.

Liberals Are Terrorists, if your a liberal, you are scum, and deserve to be aborted.

Then you see those who attempt to justify it by saying "well whites did bad stuff in the past" as if it's somehow every white persons fault for what others did.

It's a minor, voluntary experiment aimed at highlighting something that is happening in that specific area right now.

You liberals are diseased, and you radicalized normal people with positions like these. When we come and have to genocide your ideology again, I will have no sympathy for you. None. I don't feel bad when Muslims blow up your cities, or when you abort yourselves, or can't reproduce. You deserve every bad result you get.

We should have the choice to pay more, regardless of if we are white or black. I'd think that while this was a social experiment, it's implementation was quite iffy.

Then what's the point of this experiment? As you have outlined, it seems to target the affluent demographic by targetting whites. Shouldn't it target the wealthy of every ethnicity, if that's what it's fundamentally about?

Not recognizing that is what's lazy.

In a context in which, say, black people in an area earned far more on average than white people? If they did a similar social experiment with black people in the area paying more, I could be okay with it.

Goddam man calm down. All this is is a bunch of cringe lord fucks thinking they’re making a difference in the world to keep their minds off the fact they do jack shit to make the world a better place like the majority of humanity. No need to get all worked up and say things you’ll regret man.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

It was specifically about massive, observable wealth disparities between races, not between classes.

We Canadians are nice like that. I spilled my coke while watching Black Panther, and some great fantastic woman gave me a replacement drink.

She wasn't even an employee or someone I knew, just out of the blue free coke.

Thank you to that person again. She will never read it but I will immortalise her in the words I write here.
