African Americans are the only racial group in U.S. still making less than they did in 2000

The real question is do you feel you're obsolete?

Emotions are irrelevant in the face of trends and data analysis.

So that's a yes.

So that's a yes.

Where do you see yes? Or are you projecting?

Get some usable skills that will allow you to work above the the lowest common denominator jobs.

What's that suppose to mean? Is there something you are trying to say here?

 

[Red Shield]

Of course... we're suppose to be the permanent racial underclass.




We either need a miracle or game changer. Thankfully we have a game changer coming.

 

[TNC]

No we need pro black legislation(redress) that makes discrimination as irrelevant as possible... cause it isn't going anywhere...

I'm genuinely curious...

how do we do this?

Step one in my opinion is to rally behind black leaders/black politicians that wont allow our movements to be co-opted by other minority demographics and reject those leaders/politicians that do. This means looking at social and economic issues through a 'black lens', and refusing to take them off.

if we can get enough Afro Americans on board with this we can begin looking at actual legislation.

In the mean time. What are we going to do about how poorly black men are performing in this country?

It's hard to even wrap my head around how this can happen.

Right now? Under Trump? Support right wing efforts to lower market barriers in order to increase workforce participation and increase black capital*.
Maybe promote military service within the black community... this just popped in my head right now




Outside of that there is little we can do in the current climate that will have a meaningful impact on our ability to overcome institutional oppression.

Spoiler

Obviously cultural changes/progress should always be being pushed.

Suggest suppressing wages so your white business partners might deign to hire some black people, brehs.
