Things that are so obvious and ingrained that no one even thinks about them.

Here’s a few:

All US americans can go to Mexico EASILY. You’re supposed to have a passport but you don’t even need one (for car/foot crossing). Versus, it’s really hard for Mexicans, who aren’t wealthy, to secure a VISA to enter the US. I’m sure there are corollaries in other geo-regions.

Another one is wealthy countries having access to vaccines far ahead of “poor” countries.

In US, we might pay lip service to equal child-hood education but most of the funding pulls from local taxes so some kids might receive ~$10000 in spending while another receives $2000. I’m not looking it up at the moment, but I’m SURE there are strong racial stratas.

    It’s pretty hard to predict an alternate future starting so far back, without civilizations moving around, but even that’s a meaningless question because native populations were genociding each other before the Europeans ever got involved. Black culture as we know it today wouldn’t exist. Instead it would have grown from entirely different roots in Africa and would probably look nothing like it does today in America. Instead it would probably be closer to the various black cultures we see today in Africa. Jazz was invented in America and heavily influenced by black people, rap music and so many other things are uniquely American and created or shaped by black Americans. Without any black people in America today it would be different on so many levels that it’s impossible to comprehend.

        You don’t think natives killed each other, enslaved other tribes, or genocided them? Do you believe that white people are inherently and uniquely evil?

          debate pervert

          I don’t discuss geopolitics or world history with people who talk like settlers; move along, thank you. You don’t want my answer to that JAQoff second question, either. 🤓 ass
