Oakland debuts "universal income program" but only if


Mar 23, 2021, 5:31 PM

you are "low-income" and identify as "Black, Indigenous or people of color".

White families don't qualify, but illegal immigrants are more than welcome to apply.

Well, I guess we do live in a systemically racist country after all.

Mar 23, 2021, 8:12 PM

if you are white and poor it is your own #### fault. You do not qualify based on the color of your skin.

Not actually "universal" either***

It’s universal to everyone in the program

Sad, but the whole idea from the 1960s of a colorblind


Mar 23, 2021, 10:08 PM

society where we all loved and respected each other, recognizing and embracing our differences, but not letting them divide us, living together as one America, seems so quaint and naive now. Corrupt politicians and race-baiting profiteers quickly realized there was little to be gained for them in such a world, and here we are.

I feel better that this is funded by private donations, but


Mar 24, 2021, 3:51 PM

it seems a bit racist that a struggling white family wouldn't qualify because of the color of their skin. (No wait - it seems very racist.)
