There isn’t a citizen in America who hasn’t felt the sting of inflation and the rise in gas prices. While the Biden administration continues to hold press conferences, claiming that the United States isn’t heading into a recession, on MSNBC, a guest and host both agreed that those who are worrying the most about inflation and gas are privileged white people. As for black people, the duo suggested that they are too busy worrying about being killed by the police while driving to work.
The shocking revelation surrounding inflation and gas came when Zerlina Maxwell was interviewing Kurt Bardella. The Democratic advisor said, “Inflation, it’s almost a privilege to care about inflation as your number one issue, uh, the same is true of gas prices, or even the idea that it’s the economy stupid. I always found that analysis lacking, because as a black person, I don’t wanna get killed on the way to my job.”
Maxwell added, “So I’m glad I have a job, I’m glad I make a living wage, but if I can’t be alive, then what does that other stuff matter? I mean, speak to the idea that some of this stuff is existential in the minds of the Democratic base, in a way that is maybe not for the middle of the country, the so-called middle, or even more conservative-leaning voters.”
Although Maxwell didn’t expand on how black people are killed while commuting to work, Kurt Bardella noted that it had to do with police brutality. He also added global warming just to be safe. “Yeah, listen if you just lost your house because of a flood in Kentucky, if you just lost your livelihood because it burnt down in a wildfire, if you just lost your life because you’re the wrong color and you’re pulled over somewhere, inflation doesn’t really matter to you, or to your loved ones.”
Again, admitting that white people seem to be the only ones caring about inflations, Bardella continued, “There are so much broader things going on right now in this country that affects so many demographics, that the dollars to cents case that has been made time and again, like you said, it’s the economy stupid, there’s a blind spot there, and you’ll notice that the majority of people who make that statement are generally white. There’s a real reckoning going on in America right now.”

Inflation hits all Races ,Wrong MSNBC
Oh no. According to some people it only hits the white privileged. If that isn’t complete insanity I don’t know what is.
What a crock! Cops aren’t killing blacks! Blacks kill blacks daily! All whites are not privileged. Those of us who struggle to make a living realize inflation will cause theft, loss of businesses and jobs. The destruction will be endless. Calling whites privileged or supremacist is just and excuse for laziness. Do you call black billionaires in this country “supremacist”?? There are plenty of them.
I am not white nor belong to either party and yes, I am concerned about inflation, the recession we are in and just glad I am retired.
Inflation is what you are doing hoping someone will believe you.
Dictionary: “the action of inflating something or the condition of being inflated”
the only white privilege i have is paying high taxes for supporting illegals and dammed democraps !
Take your RACE horse to the track.
Could these “fools” be specific with some actual statistics supporting their bogus claims, please?
Rename MSNBC to The MSNBC Comedy Hour. Driving to WORK ???
Putting a new definition for the word WORK. How many people get killed by cops driving to work?? And how many are shot when complying to simple English commands ?
I find it hard to believe that people can be so ignorant. So, that means that every natural disaster is from global warming. Total BS. How about the fact that the crazies in CA refuse to clear out the ground brush, in the woods, which causes the fires to be much worse than normal. Please tell me why that is ignored. I read about a CA fire about 4 years ago & the only home, in the path of the fire, that was not destroyed was one in which the homeowner had cleared out all the dead brush on the ground. Why is that so difficult to understand?
Statistics prove that Blacks driving to work are no more likely to be killed by police than Whites, maybe less so. But the incredible stupidity, situational blindness and overwhelming rigidity to the DRat party line about inflation as just bothering whites is really mind blowing, as if blacks are immune or unconcerned with rising prices. However, since it is MSNBC it isn’t a news source, just propaganda.
Neither of these ‘clueless’ liberalites would know ‘white privilege’ if white privilege jumped up and bit them right in the behind.
