“The key privilege in the point you're making here is ‘rich.’ Poor white people fall through the cracks in the system too. Because, you guessed it, poor people, regardless of their skin colour, can't afford to get the help they need. That's what being poor means.”

The hidden premise in the syllogism is that, by definition, white means rich and black means poor. Because, you know, racism. It’s not about truth, just truthiness. Once you grasp that, the reasoning becomes clear.
