Yeah, I understand that an actual "middle-class" did not evolve until the mid 20th century. I was making a point within the context of the quote. I'm fairly sure my point is an obvious one and if you're going to argue that black people haven't been and aren't still being systemically disenfranchised, then this thread probably isn't the place to unpack that delusional attitude.



Care to elaborate on that?

Ill take up the argument that black people aren't still being systemically disenfranchised.

The reality is every one of the fortune 500 companies are frothing out the mouth to increase their diversity quotas.

The lack of representation, at this point is due to the fact that black people, on the whole, choose to embrace a lifestyle of degeneracy and criminality throughout their youth and early adulthood, subsequently shirking their education, scuttling their future prospects, and earning themselves a rap sheet before they reach an age and education level which would easily catapult them into the most lucrative job markets in the US.

Those who reject the media induced "black culture" are generally much better off than their white peers due to all of the systems in place which grant advantages to every people other than white people.

Now, we're approaching a topic where one would have assess the relative number of black people willing to reject the media-induced ideology of "black culture" in order to succeed in "american culture" and posit questions as to why more black people dont choose to accept the obviously more lucrative lifepath, but thats a matter for actual black people to answer for. As it stands, and like Biden said, "unlike the african american community, with the exception of notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with different attitudes about different things."

By the way, which ethnic group owns the 90% majority of the news media, creating, promoting, and perpetuating degenerative "black culture"? It's not "white" people.

I should also add that said degenerative culture glorifies black on black violence, largely created and perpetuated by (((those who own the media))) which only serves to reinforce adherence to the trope; where diverting away from said culture puts would-be higher minded african americans in danger of violent backlash from their peers which is why programs are in place to remove said outliers from the influence of their degenerative peers by shuttling them to educational opportunities in more affluent areas where they can pursue their educational endeavors without the chicken hawks lording over them demanding their black card, and sometimes even their lives, in retaliation.

Now, we can argue that these programs are not protective or encompassing enough as it pertains to safeguarding them from backlash in their private lives, but again thats a tertiary matter, and is a microcosm of the macro effect produced by the media owned by a significantly overrepresented minority throughout the economic upper-echelons, and the US govt as well.

So, i suppose, in sum, we can agree that these issues are systemic Jowever we disagree as to the group identity of the perpetuating party.

Are white people prejudiced against black people? Yes, and rightly so due to the danger black culture imposes upon society on the whole. Are we responsible for it? I suppose that depends on whether you think the relationship between media and life is art reflecting life, or life reflecting art.

[Gwaihir]

Now, with that said, remedying the situation becomes the issue. As of late, it's fairly obvious that media is making some effort to integrate the "black man" into it's programming, but to what end? Assimilating the Black man into TV shows where the Black man is indiscernibly likenened to the white man decries calls of "whitewashing", so the alternative is a societal shift toward "Black culture".

If the latter premise is utilized, this suggests that society, on the whole, should slide toward encompassing more elements of "Black culture" into the overarching culture; this means that in order to assimilate fundamental changes would have to occur for "American culture" to be more likened to "Black culture" which is where disagreement lies. Should america be more tolerant of violence, and criminality within our culture, or should we be seeking to reduce said influence?

Sorry, Joe sold us out to China. He is weak on China. For 8 years they had no plan to deal with China - can't deal with another 2.0.

Trump is bad on so many levels, but at least he is taking the right approach on China that prior admins and other countries (Germany!) haven't done.

Let's not even get into Hunter, yikes.

Trump is terrible on china. Abandons our pacific alies in the treaty we started, demolishes our foreign service totally hamstringing our position across the globe, leaves china to expand their footprint in the south china sea where our alies typically depend on us to keep them in check. Literally worst possible fake tough on china guy ever.

Joe is for sure going to screw anyone not snow white. And some snow white people too.

But so is Trump probably more or less. IDK. Really.
