if the right are going to blame everything that is bad on wokeness then the left can blame everything on racists

Well if you want to be like them, be my guest, but as I said, I wouldn't blame everything on it.

The left isn't blaming the housing crisis on racism.

Israel has left the human rights council
So it’s safe to assume once all the hostages have been returned they’re going to resume killing Palestinians and Trump will of course look the other way.

Looks like the admin has walked back the Gaza nonsense already and it appears there may some brakes being applied to DOGE. Dare I say good news?

Yea actually bi3 has a point. It's not all racism. But housing laws, loans, zoning, as a very racist past. Not really why we have skyrocketing costs but it's all a large intricate system that has brought us here today

It’s also why Mayor Pete doesn’t like freeways.

He doesn't have a point. You have a point. There are (and always have been) racist practices in housing, you're absolutely right and my post wasn't about that. But, as usual, Bi needed to move the goal posts to score points against... checks notes... strangers on an internet Pearl Jam message board.

If pointing to the some of the system level rationale the left uses to demonstrate how racism helped cause the housing crisis is not a justified criticism of your post, what kind of reply would you have preferred? Help me respond better.

In my way of approaching, I do google searches like these:

site:jacobin.com housing crisis racism
site:commondreams.org housing crisis racism
site:motherjones.com housing crisis racism

And find things like this:

Mother Jones: For Black Americans, It’s Not a Housing Crisis. It’s a Chronic Condition

And I think... kind seems like that is exactly what the left media is doing. Not exclusively, nothing is monocausal, but I find it's a pretty dominant theme with direct evidence presented as to why racism is a key driver and it's good to get educated on those ideas and understand the thinking behind them even if you disagree with the conclusions that come from them. Steelman everything.

Are you just copying and pasting press releases from HQ?

It looks like it.

The left not beating those "we think everything is racist" allegations.

It would be totally fine and justified. You didn't do that. Nothing in "then we can add it to the list things they are wrong about" conveys what you wrote above. You want to better respond? Respond. Say what you mean. Stop trying to dunk all the time. If you have something to say, fucking say it.
