Not all white people get Dad's who line internships up for them. Sorry. Being poor and unconnected is just something Americans have to overcome. No matter your skin color. That's equality. And it doesn't give a **** about your skin color. If you go to a majority brown skinned country, guess what? The people who lived there the longest and had the most politically advantaged backgrounds, skin color or religious, etc, are the ones with dads who give internships and stuff. This isn't a racial issue in the way you and others make it out. It's economic.
Just saying you throw out marxism as if it is synonymous with the Soviet Union and PRC - it's not. Those countries are authoritarian - ruled by a single party.
Our history has made these communities into a collective of urban ghettos. It's funny. When you want to paint others as racist because they acknowledge how the cards were delt you just conveniently forget all the times you argue about how black on black crime is a severe problem that is ignored. What happened to that strong respect of "individualism" for Black people when you go one those rants when someone wants to discuss racism?
Well I guess the point flew over your head. Most poor black people are poor because they were born in a poor neighborhood. That poor neighborhood was created from 400 years of institutionalized racism. The PROBABILITIES of a black child being born into a poor household is significantly higher than a white child and that is exactly due to 400 years of institutionalized racism.
I don't talk about black on black crime very much and I would say it's a problem, but that's a deflection. Your go to today. Let's stay on topic. All you can do is address it economically and fairly and help the poor improve their communities. Stop making it about race and you will get results. Black slavery was bad. Yes. We agree. No one argues that the black populations come from a line of oppressed people. Guess what though? Not all blacks are oppressed and in the same boat. And not all whites are well off. Not all of any group can be painted with such a broad brush. They must be treated as individuals and all of the stuff you complain about affects white people and people of other races and ethnicities. Hell, google Tony Timpa bro. We are all likely to agree that police need to be reigned in. They are dicks to everyone. No one is arguing about funding schools in poor communities. You have no idea how much we agree on things, but we just don't see race the same way. I see everyone as an individual and I think black people have had a hard history that I acknowledge. But excusing the failures of individuals on their skin isn't doing them any favors.
Think about how many died at the hands of Christianity, I don’t understand why it doesn’t have the same stink as Nazi in the public? Certainly should be in the mix with Marxism and Nazism.
I just don't believe in your sincerity dude. These ideas of drastically overhauling our education system so it's significanltly funded through federal dollars rather than local property taxes based on local property values is an idea that is diametrically opposed by all the politicians and YouTuber pundits you bootlick for. That's just one aspect. In these poor communties, the desire to care about education is stagnated because poor children have to think more about the present than children of well off parents. Children in these poor urban neighborhoods often have increased burdens such as helping raise younger siblings because they have a single mother who works 50+ hours a week. They also have to worry about side hustling because their family barely makes it pay check to pay check which can incentivize gang membership. If your mother can't afford her diabetes medication, you are more incentivized to side hustle and be involved in the illegal drug trade. So the solutions are to undue the burdens of poverty that these children face so they can care about their futures. That means free access to healthcare and free access to high quality early childhood education like most European countries. Again, other ideas that the people you bootlick are diametrically opposed to.
I love how an individual matters so much finally in a hypothetical. Oh he was forced into the drug trade. That is NOT why people join gangs and turn to crime. It's usually a lack of a father and a need for acceptance and guidance. AND it's a decision they choose as people. You are excusing criminal behavior and just blaming it on their skin color as the reason for needing it. How shameful.
Sorry... don’t see that. I do not agree with the extremist beliefs of a number of the BLM founders. However the idea that they do not care about black people is absurd. I was very critical of the BLM organization but they have been very successful.
People join gangs out of desperation. Your incentive to join gangs is diminished if you live in a middle class neighborhood knowing that you have a career opportunity in the future. There is a reason why poor people are disproportionately in gangs dude.

Umm, black people have been in America since its start...so where are these advantages? That's the entire point of 400 years of history impacting today. You say race has nothing to do with it, so why did black WW2 veterans not benefit from the GI Bill? Was that an economic thing?
The idea that black people in the United States do not continue to suffer the consequences from institutional racism is absurd. Go spend some time studying the history of a place like Chicago from the great migration, through the black belt, to the federal building of the highway system, through the building of low income housing and then the spread of funding. The consequences continue to this day... there is a reason that Garfield Park is 99% black and had 250 shootings in a two square mile area last year. The poverty rate of children born in that area as adults is extremely high.
People on this board argue it just about every day and so do tens of millions of Americans including the President of the United States and his lackeys. I see your retirement was short lived and you're back to "watch this short video to know the REAL truth". Just intellectually lazy dude..
