Those white and rich who do US crimes get airtime

You don’t have to be rich or white, you only have to be useful in furthering US state propaganda. Condi Rice is still gets plenty of airtime.

I was naming a non-white person. Also, people who carry water for US imperialism tend to be well compensated. You don’t have to be rich to do it, but you will likely get rich by doing it.

Context makes it look like you’re trying to name someone that isn’t “rich or white.”

RIce wasn’t born with a silver spoon. She’s rich now from her lifetime of work in the interests of US empire.
