This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

poor black people live in ghettos because of the wealth divide, not because they are black.
like to point out there are plenty of Hispanic, Asian, and white people who also live in ghettos. you didn't mention those though... probably because it didn't fit your narrative.
you could have taken the low hanging fruit and mentioned how ICE is currently kidnapping people and sending them to blacksites for extraction. you didn't because it doesn't fit your narrative.
China has been oppressing Uyghurs since before 2009. not because they are poor. not because they are Muslim. not because they aren't "Chinese". they do it because Uyghurs refuse conformity to Chinese culture.
why do you think they called them "reeducation camps" at first?
