Noel really does live in an Ayn Randian fantasy land. Yes, it's *possible*, but for many people, particularly African-American, given the obstacles and systemic disadvantages they face, their "possible" is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from impossible. https://twitter.com/cutrealty/status/991673608513634304 …

Sigh. Noel buries himself in deeper. Again, given the disadvantages many minorities face, yes, it's "possible" for them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but that "possible" is functionally indistinguishable in the real world from impossible. https://twitter.com/CutRealty/status/991679304521023488 …

Straw man, as I definitely give people credit for their success, particularly minorities who've overcome systemic racism. You're the one "talking down" to people by telling them it's their fault that they're poor when the vast majority of the time that's just not true.
