I didn’t ever say making money is racist, you brought that interpretation forth. People can participate in our current economic system without exploiting vulnerable, marginalized populations - it’s a choice.

A good example of how someone’s decision in business could be racist would be if they use predatory lending practices to attract minorities and impoverished people, playing on their fears and their lived experience of not having equal access to resources - like payday loan and title loan companies. They know people are desperate to pay their bills and in exchange for the ‘loan’ they charge astronomical interest rates, sometimes people can’t even get out from under these contracts.

Another racist business practice that I observed when I lived in an inner city metropolitan area, was the raising of property tax on minorities who had lived in that area for generations, yet now they’re forced to sell their homes because they could not pay the taxes. Real estate developers then swooped in, bought those older homes, renovated them and sold them for a profit to young, white, educated families who wanted to live close to their workplace.

This is how certain aspects of capitalism and greed becomes racist- when what’s valued is the bottom line, instead of actual human beings.
