Of course. Everybody knows POCs don't buy stuff, ya big dummies.

No, it's not the Babylon Bee, it's for real, LOL!

"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:

When I was a child I didn't care about inflation, gas prices, or the economy. Only when I became an adult did I care about these things.

So is "white privilege" the same thing as "adult privilege"?

Well, OF COURSE it is white privilege to worry about gas prices and inflation!

We all know that the only people who bring in a paycheck and drive cars are white people, right?

And there are absolutely NO white people who have to worry about violence, and of course, there are no white people who walk to work.

[Heavy, HEAVY sarcasm!)

And I am sick about all these generalizations, period, no matter who is making them!

Yet black people, particularly black women, will vote for this insanity to the tune of 90%+.

This is why conservatives need to ignore the black vote and concentrate on Asians and Hispanics.

I thought it was white privilege to not worry about inflation and gas prices? You know ... from being so rich and white and carefree and privileged? I'm so confused.

Meh -- delivery is bad and she was overly dramatic.

But I suspect if you ask the person working two jobs to stay afloat what they think of interest rates rising or gas reserves being released they will roll their eyes and tell you they don't hve time to discuss it.

That's her point.

People who are struggling to survive don't have the luxury of debating the best way to attack inflation.

And be clear it wasn't MSNBC general policy statement..it was one woman on NBC. That's like saying Tucker Carlson speaks for Fox News...It's clear he doesn't.
