How is racism alive and well in 2017? It is all about the money? WHAT? [View all]

Just saw this posted, absent the question mark, by a white (assume white) poster at a youtube chat of a progressive talk show.

I wanted to jump all over it but the person who posted it is a moderator and always argues with me and always takes the you know what side of things.

The arrogance of white people to say this astounds me.

It also pretty much excuses the real reasons for racism that have ZIP to do with economics or money.

But if I were to attack over this I would be attacked and told that I am too serious and so on.

I say assume the person is white, it is a he, because of everything he has said, but I cant check and find out without getting into another argument.
