They are acutely aware of rising prices and how they are working harder.

The maybe don't have the time to be sitting in front of their couch watching Fox, MSNBC, CNN and all the discussions and they aren't on city data discussing it all.
You twisted what she said to justify her racism. Sounds like you may have prejudices of your own.

So is "white privilege" the same thing as "adult privilege"?
When I was a child I cared about fuel prices/availability, inflation, and nuclear war. I remember the long lines at the gas pump, the stress that my parents felt when trying to buy a needed new car with a 14%-15% loan, and the Cold War.

I don't think it was a privilege for anyone.

It's pretty safe to assume that ANYONE who speaks, much less rants, about "white privilege" is insane, a white-hating racist, stupid, and has a chip as big as Mount Rushmore on their shoulder. These people are so utterly transparent, but of course they're too stupid to have clue one that they are.

It's not suggesting they are less than -- it is suggesting they are as important, maybe even more so.

I don't know who this tv show host is...but it is obvious some of you feel she is someone we need to listen to. I don't know why.
Privilege comes in all colors and races. Just look at those who don't give a damn about high gas prices and high food prices. It is the elites who want us to buy a $65,000 Electric Vehicles, which is powered mainly from electric produced from fossil fuels.


I don't see China or Russia running on solar and wind. It is the elite nuts running ths country into the ground for power. It is a hoax on the middle class because the ruling elites don't care. They want power and it isn't solar or wind. It is power over the people. Anyone with any common sense knows this already.

So they can no longer deny there is a real problem so instead they try to bully people in to silence by threatening to put the "R" label on anyone who speaks out about the problem.

"Network host Zerlina Maxwell declared that these are issues only of the concern of white people, and she’s sick of it.

“Inflation, it’s almost a privilege to care about inflation as your number one issue, uh, the same is true of gas prices, or even the idea that it’s the economy stupid,” Maxwell said to some viewers.

She proclaims white people care about filling their tanks while she, as a black woman, has concerns about getting “killed on the way to [her] job......”


Killed on her way to her job? Does she work in the 'hood? If so, i don't blame her

More comedic insanity here:

Haven't watched MSNBC since the I-Man was fired 15 years ago, and no plans to start watching any time soon.

never heard of 'zerlina' before. sounds like a disease.
Sounds more like an Eastern European car model.

"Glad I traded in my '14 Zerlina for the Corolla. Darn thing had an oil leak at only 120 thousand kilometers."

This is all stupid race baiting nonsense being spewed by the MSM media and you're on here trying to back them up with illogic reasoning.
nothing any MSDNC shill can say is sufficiently stupid that monie won't defend it.

That's her point.

People who are struggling to survive don't have the luxury of debating the best way to attack inflation.
Is there nothing you won’t defend? Jeez
