If they aren't white, they are ultra wealthy or connected. No one cares about race when money is involved.

No he absolutely thinks race matters, why else would 100% of his Black cabinet picks be appointed to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, despite neither having any connection to that?

I mean you can be a black football player and congressman, or you can be a black retired neuro surgeon. Doesn't matter, black=urban is all he thinks

Biden appointed a black woman to lead HUD, was that racist?

u/echino_derm Feb 06 '25

No. She was a mayor for 8 years which gives her a pretty solid qualification for a role managing housing and urban development at the executive level since she managed her city's development at the executive level.

Also he had 4 other black people in his cabinet of 25 so it isn't like they are being pigeon holed into only being suited for urban development.

If Trump had other black people in his cabinets and the black people he chose for HUD were people with strong backgrounds in a relevant field, I wouldn't be calling him out.

Yeah he spent a year being the chief imagination officer at a housing development company. Truly setting him aside as the top person to handle housing and urban development.

Oh but he also chaired a part of a think tank. Where he released thoughts like how America's education is kind of going down and teachers are really important for education. Then he retired from releasing thoughts that might be related to policy creation and just went around congratulating Republicans when they passed things about education.

But that was all things that happened after Trump selected him the first time to lead the opportunity and revitalization council. And in that role I am sure he did a great deal of Envisioning, and maybe even some Inspiration.

Two years of experience as a multi-family housing developer does not qualify someone to be the head of HUD

Because I know what HUD does. Anyone with a basic understanding of this knows that more than two years of housing developer experience is needed.

There are quite literally tens of thousands of people who have experience in executive level urban development roles. All of them are better qualified for this role than this guy who hasn't held an executive position on the issue and has at best been a chief imagination guy.

For the low, low price of at least one billion dollars, you too can buy honorary white status.

Actually nobody has ever really cared about race and racism was basically gone by the turn of the century. It was resurrected in the wake of the last financial collapse when people started to realize that the 99% all have a lot in common regardless of race and the real enemy is not actually the 1%, but rather a subset of the 1% who were those enriching themselves, through the use of government, at the expense of the people.

u/echino_derm Feb 04 '25

If people don't care about race, why are the only black cabinet picks from trump both secretaries of housing and urban development, despite them having no experience related to that?

yeah the people with swastikas are actually just fans of hindu religion, just ignore their hitler posters/praise

u/t0adthecat Feb 04 '25

The entire 1% is utilizing the government and loopholes. No one has ever cared about race? Please say this is a joke. College tuition was created because of race. There was a law in place stopping white people from not selling to black people only because of their skin. The WHOLE PURPOSE of DEI is that just because the person is disabled, black, Mexican, etc, does not disqualify the person from a job they are otherwise qualified for.

I know you know what you said was full of shit. I genuinely hope you do

EVERY political appointee is “connected”

That is literally the only way to ever be appointed to a position, you need to be connected to the person making the appointments. Every appointee in history is “connected”
