Stop Bernie-Splaining to Black Voters

Small sample/anecdotal, but most 6 figure earning black people I know live in 6 figure neighborhoods

And yea, I am talking trailer park type, which is not at all rare.

We can point to completely one off examples like Henry Louis Gates and the like but the reality is people of different races in the same class have much more in common than people of the same race and different classes. A white person in a trailer park faces way more similar issues as a black person in the projects than a white person in a gated community. Anyone who claims otherwise in my experience has a divisive agenda.

I'm not saying they are comparable. Middle class blacks are doing way better than lower class whites. The sky high suicide rates and drug abuse in the latter group confirm this. Actually by that measure lower class blacks are doing better than them as well.

Obviously there are systemic racial issues that affect races disproportionately, but class issues have a way bigger impact. I suppose one could argue racial issues are the reason blacks are disproportionately lower class, but my point is poor people of all races face most of the same big headwinds, and if things were better economically people would have a lot less reason to focus on smaller differences like race. Class is the main driver.

Sounding a little Marxist here, breh...

I dont deny the impact of class. I just hate people who exploit it for means that don't benefit regular people
