Without exception, every problem with the US has a straightforward and realizable solution being blocked by a piece of shit who cannot accept even the slimmest of chances that someone they consider undeserving might possibly, in some small way, benefit.

I don't think that is the motive.

Usually there is a middleman that is blocking and change because they will lose money otherwise.

It's both, the middle man gets to do his thing because of the racism of the others.

The middle man also does everything he can to feed and expand that racism in order to benefit from it.

[–] Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 2 points 3 days ago

Very much so, and buys politicians to further that cause.
