White-on-black racism is not so much a talking point as a fact of American life. There is no oversimplification there. I have no idea what kind of rhetoric is involved in Singaporean dialogue, but that is entirely irrelevant to what I'm saying.
Capitalism isn't inherently racist, but it also has no intrinsic qualities that help it repair the ill-effects of past racist policies.

The sub-thread is on white-on-black racism in USA in a thread about Singapore. That's why I called it a talking point or something barely relevant. Im done with it on this one.
Who knows what your background is but Im calling the oversimplification when I see it. I suggest Singapore drop those talking points to compare cost of capitalism in US with law benefitting mostly owners to their "give some get some model" benefiting their people in general. That would be more fair given America is a plutonomy.
