Yep.
And black men better get focused, so we have a chair to sit on when the music stops.
I don't think America's power is going to decline anytime soon. America's military is capable of fighting two major ground wars at the same time, it has far more destroyers than all other countries combined, its arsenal is too much for any other country to contend against, its technology is also far more powerful/advanced than any other country as well.
As long as you have a strong military you can bully other countries into submission and take what they have which America is used to doing. America routinely spends close to a trillion dollars on its military budget every year ($800 billion last year).
No other country can contend against America's military. They don't have the manpower, the allies, nor the infrastructure.
As long as the military stays principled and doesn't splinter, America is good. If the military splinters, then this country is finished. Civil war, war against other countries, and dealing with various skirmishes in countries that want America out of their lands, will end this nation.
but, I think the plan is
As

large prison population = wealth generation for white communities.
California's decision to close the prison in Susanville rocked the town, where the consequences could be dire for residents and businesses that depend on the economics of incarceration.

Asian,Arab, Indian 15-20 years olds don’t have this problem. They would start thinking if we bought shame and accountability back into the community
We'd have to disaggregate the data to better understand that phenomenon. As of now, it is murky at best and fits certain political lenses that I find to be troubling.
"In 2015, the
median annual AAPI household income was $73,060, compared to $53,600 for all U.S. households. However,
certain AAPI household incomes are well below the U.S. household income, such as Bangladeshi ($49,800), Hmong ($48,000), Nepalese ($43,500), and Burmese ($36,000). Another report highlighted that
Laotians have a median income that is just over $15,000.
Earning inequality is higher for AAPI workers than it is for any other racial or ethnic group in the United States. The highest paid AAPI worker compared to the lowest paid AAPI worker is a ratio of 6-to-1, compared to 5-to-1 for White, Black, and Latinx workers.
Income inequality has risen most rapidly among AAPIs in the past few decades. Essential service workers, such as cleaning, retail, and food service workers, comprise
12.8 percent of the AAPI workforce and often lack benefits such as paid sick leave. There are more AAPI essential workers than White essential workers.
Although Black and Latinx individuals are more likely to be poor than White and Asian individuals,
certain AAPI groups have higher poverty rates than the general U.S. population, including Black and Latinx communities. In 2018,
10.8 percent of Asian Americans lived at or below poverty level. Hawaiian Natives and Pacific Islanders fared worse with 14.8 percent at or below poverty level. Depending on the city, poverty levels are worse: in New York,
1 in 4 AAPI individuals lived in poverty, and in Boston 26.6 percent of AAPI individuals lived in poverty.
The percentage of the AAPI community living below the poverty line varies from as low as 6 percent of Filipinos to 63 percent of Hmong people. Hmong, Bhutanese, Burmese, and Mongolian individuals have some the highest poverty rates among AAPI communities, at 28.3 percent, 33 percent, 35 percent, 37 percent respectively. On the other hand, poverty rates are lowest among Filipino, Indian, and Japanese individuals, at 7.5 percent, 7.5 percent, and 8.4 percent accordingly. The 2019 poverty rate for the
general U.S. population was 10.1 percent, and 18.8 percent and 15.7 percent for
Black and Latinx communities respectively."
This piece is dedicated in honor of the lives lost in Atlanta, Georgia on March 16th, 2021 due to more senseless anti-Asian violence. All U.S. federal and state entities should disaggregate data on the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Currently, reports divided by racial...
