Rich White People?

They can’t exist without lies and deceit.

All white people are rich due to privilege

I don’t think any of those people are billionaires

In the ivory tower that overseas the land.

It is a combination of inherent leftist bias in the media with an equally strong desire by the media to not learn the nuances of a story fully.

I used to work in a newsroom. You can trust me when I say the room is full of people who develop a vision or opinion of a story in a snap, and don’t veer from it unless they uncover overwhelming evidence to the contrary. They do not care about accuracy as much as just blurting something out and moving to the next story. It’s really sad.

They don’t report that St. George was an unincorporated area that was never a part of Baton Rouge to begin with because they can’t explain that nuance in a headline, and that’s as deep as they want to go. They are okay with being wrong about that detail. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That’s how they think.

It was a top 5 story on foxnews.com the other day.

I certainly didn’t feel rich growing up in the prestigious St George. My parents built a modest home when I was two/three, in Quail Ridge then upgraded to build another larger modest home in Oak Hills a couple years later. This was a young (in his 20s) chemist’s salary with absolutely zero family money or second income.

At least for most of my life we were the typical STG residents.

(Also lived and my mom and step dad still live in a house that cost under $80k in Iberville Terrace and briefly in Wimbledon—that was as fancy as it got.)

The hypocrisy is mind bottling
