100%.

I feel like mentioning “poverty” without mentioning 300 years of forced illiteracy, not being able to own land, having your children sold away from you, indentured servitude after enslavement, reconstruction, lynching, segregated schools, property tax based school funding, redlining, racist loan decisions, or any one of the myriad poverty inducing structures built against Black folks since 1619 fails to state it well enough. You don’t have to cite every point but “poverty” stated as if it’s in a vacuum irks me. And racism will continue as long as we keep it obscured instead of stating it explicitly.
