I'm pretty sure that "appealing to middle class suburban whites" is literally all that the U.S. has done since the beginning.
America didn't have a solid middle class until post-WW2 so this statement is false. Most people were broke in America for a long time, just like most countries.

One time I heard "white people perform better on the SAT because the way our founding fathers built this country and excluded others."

My response: "Our founding fathers were Asian immigrants and mostly female? Because those people are CRUSHING the SAT."

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.

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.

Biden is gross but black centrists are probably primarily what secured him the vote.

If they're happy with the status quo. I can respect their voice.

We probably won't descend into communistic fascism prior to two terms of republicans, and it will be a knee-jerk response to some existential crisis on the level of exploding buildings.

That said I think Gabbard, Warren would have been fun presidents.

Would have loved Army chick president the most personally.

Everyone here went to public school except Lune and Zodium, that’s why they’ve never worked a day in their lives and are committed communists on behalf of overs who actually know what a day’s labor means

I work, but it's for Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, not survival. If laborers would learn to advocate for themselves instead of for me I wouldn't have to do it for them.

I went to public school (save for a single year I went to a private school) but that was before going to public school was considered an insult. Does it still count?
