[@robertwright4220]

He didn’t destroy anyone! Hughes has no business even speaking on these topics in public. His opinions, which are all they are, are irrelevant. I believe he’s an immigrant. One of the many failures of the US education system is our reckoning of history.
Just as she may be inaccurate on some details of history so is he. Difference is her premises are correct his isn’t. 250 years of arguably the worst slavery system in human history, a bloody and violent reconstruction, almost a century of debt peonage, dozens and f thriving black communities destroyed, thousands of lynchings, tens of millions of black farmland destroyed, Jim Crow, Co-intelPro….
I could literally go on and most of the atrocities I mentioned happened well after slavery! But according to Hughes, and it’s not his idea by the way, a rising tide lifts all boats…., which is a foolish idea for many reasons.

[@robertwright4220]

@CarlNipmuc Your points are well stated and accurate…! In social media, there’s this other trend of ascribing emotion in a way that attempts to deflect from the content of one’s argument while diminishing the individual, a form of ad hominem. “Why you mad 😡….”
As if to say, to simply express emotion about something or even anger is of itself something to be ashamed of. Even worse are the times when said emotion is applied where it doesn’t exist. It’s like them calling us victims by merely stating facts. I’m in a better position than most, but I worked hard to get here and I can argue that I would be better off if I were a white male. Traits that make people uncomfortable would be praised if I were white….
My point is, we must push against the narrative! People get frustrated in debates, discussions, and arguments because they go in unprepared! I’ve done the research, sat with the issues and thought through them objectively.
Therefore, I can easily dismantle people like Hughes while also recognizing the truths and inaccuracies or inconsistencies in his opponents argument. Objectivity, is somewhat of a super power with me at this point. I take certain positions and continue to maintain them based on the data and reality of what consistently presents itself. That’s why we engage my friend….

[@robertwright4220]

@CarlNipmuc Yes I know Fuller. Some of us can’t even be bothered with actually learning our history let alone seeking to place things in their proper context. Again, many people don’t know how to debate and fall into more based exchanges and reactions. So I respect your personal decision to not engage considering you seem to be informed. It’s a personal decision.
For me I feel it necessary to counter them at times regardless of whether or not they’ll change or hear. I’m not really concerned with them changing or liking me. Many of the so called black conservatives are really only worried about acceptance from them and they are willing to do almost anything to get it.
What I will say is, it’s light work at this point for me. No one really knows what comes next after this life or what the real meaning of life here is, one accepts or believes what makes sense to him or her. As Fuller said, “if we don’t understand racism and white supremacy, everything else will only confuse us!” One does not need to change to be convicted. Sometimes they just need to know there are black people who know what the game is….

[@robertwright4220]

[@alntr2872]

Ana, he makes some good points. However, this country was built on racism and is inherently racist. If you don't address the race issue and make reparations, monetary disbursements for slavery you can't fully address the class issue. You need to do more research on race and racism in America. Remember, your family came here many years after slavery and your perspective is from the view of the time you became aware of these issues. Black Americans have been here for hundreds of years and have a lived experience that you and your family that came here does not have. Soi it is kind of shortsighted for you to try and lecture Sonny when you don't have her lived experience. People should want to learn from the people who have the lived experience and know what it means to be 'black" in an inherently racist society. You have not had to suffer raced based prejudice your whole life, so on what research and lived experience are you basing your ideas? Stop telling black people how to feel and start to listen. It's obvious the guy you're agreeing with is compromised in his perspective because he does not have a full view of understanding that Sonny is speaking from. If you study MLK closely you will see that was was closer to Marcus Garvey than you would ever think, especially with regards to reparations. He, MLK spoke out against class injustice because it was unjust, as you tend to speak out about injustices that you care about. But that does not negate his perspective, views and work for the betterment of black people. You are trying to place MLK in a box to support your own views instead of studying him fully and that's what the guy was trying to do and Sonny was not having it, and neither should you if you want to be taken seriously. At the moment you can't be taken seriously on this issue. Have you studied WEB Dubois, John Henrick Clarke, Dr. Fuller, Dr. Cress Welsing, Marcus Garvey, Dr. Ben Jochannan, Cheik Anta Diop? Or, have you listened to the Bob Marley album Survival closely. Have you done any of these things? Have you really studied their work deeply and seriously and take a scholarly approach to the issue? I bet not or you would have a better understanding of the issue. You should look up Dixon White on youtube, you can start there.

It is intellectually dishonest to say that race isn't a factor when it comes to racial disparities. To try to solve everything with economic policy isn't the solution. White southerners rejected The New Deal in the 1930s BECAUSE it was designed to help everyone, INCLUDING black people. Most race riots in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century were due to white anger towards black economic progress. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. From 1949 to 1965, an area of the city where prominent and successful black people lived was called Dynamite Hill. Ya know why? Because, white people were exploding black people's houses because they didn't believe that black people should have nice houses. Addressing economics alone doesn't solve all of society's problems, particularly race. Because, it doesn't matter how much money someone has, if your class system is based on race, racism will continue to persist until it is addressed directly.

@SarahHuntsman888 Affirmative action, while well-intentioned, has not been sufficient to overcome the deep-seated economic and social disparities caused by centuries of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. These disparities are not just historical artifacts, but ongoing realities that continue to affect the lives of African Americans today. As Ta-Nehisi Coates argues in "The Case for Reparations," affirmative action policies, which typically focus on increasing diversity in education and employment, do not address the broader social and economic inequalities that exist.
Moreover, affirmative action has been criticized for benefiting primarily the middle and upper classes, while leaving behind the most disadvantaged members of marginalized groups. In "The Souls of Black Folk," W.E.B. Du Bois writes about the concept of the "Talented Tenth," the idea that the most educated and successful African Americans have a responsibility to uplift the rest of the community. However, affirmative action policies that focus on increasing representation in elite institutions may inadvertently reinforce this divide, rather than addressing the root causes of inequality.
Color blindness, the idea that we should not "see" race and should treat everyone equally, ignores the reality of systemic racism and the ways in which race continues to shape our society. In "The New Jim Crow," Michelle Alexander argues that the mass incarceration of African American men is a form of racial control that functions in a similar way to the Jim Crow laws, despite being ostensibly colorblind. Similarly, in "White Fragility," Robin DiAngelo argues that the idea of color blindness prevents white people from acknowledging and addressing their own racial biases.
The idea of color blindness also ignores the ways in which government policies have actively created and perpetuated racial segregation and inequality. In "The Color of Law," Richard Rothstein argues that housing segregation in America was not a result of private discrimination, but a product of explicit government policies. This history of government-sanctioned discrimination cannot be addressed by simply treating everyone equally under the law.
Finally, the focus on individual success and meritocracy that often accompanies discussions of affirmative action and color blindness ignores the ways in which systemic inequality affects people's lives. In "Evicted," Matthew Desmond shows how the lack of affordable housing can trap people in a cycle of poverty, regardless of their individual efforts. Similarly, in "The Warmth of Other Suns," Isabel Wilkerson tells the stories of African Americans who left the South during the Great Migration, seeking better opportunities in the North and West, but often finding that systemic racism and discrimination had followed them.

The way that Ana is reading this conversation does show some White Privilege because race has always come into play when assistance is doled out.
Besides, we've done class-based assistance before. And in ALL of those cases, Black folks were severely limited or outright denied a share of the pie to benefit White people and other, lighter skinned, races that prove momentarily useful. We're also unfairly used as scapegoats when the government wants to reduce financial assistance for the poor.

Ana, as much as I understand your reasoning that focusing on socio-economics is the best way to address inequality across the board and that all ships will rise including those black and brown ships.

Just ask black farmers about the Farm Bills and when these inequities are addressed by legislation, the remedy is met with the same logic that you’re proposing.

Ana is really disingenuous the way you portrayed Sunny’s arguments. Race-based and class-based progressive policies are meant to CO-EXIST. It is not an “either or” proposition or “zero sum game”, but rather a comprehensive and holistic approach to combatting the wealth disparities in this country, much of which has been historically ingrained into policies and their enforcement (or lack thereof)
Sunny was NOT arguing against class-based economic policies. Coleman IS the one arguing against race-based policies. This is what Sunny took umbrage with and rightfully challenged.
Historically speaking, POC, especially black and indigenous people have been ignored and sidelined when it came to policies that were supposedly created for “everyone”: whether its the denial of homeowner loan and land ownership to the exclusion of black and indigenous groups in New Deal policies and emergency aid. Pretending that the people legislating and enforcing policies magically stop being racist only serves to prolong the stagnation of economic immobility for marginalized groups. Unfortunately, in order to combat racism policy often NEEDS to be highly specific and targeted. This doesn’t mean that class-based policies shouldn’t be happening on a parallel track, they absolutely should. But anyone preaching that there is NO place for specific and targeted race-based policies to dismantled systems created by the historic legacy of racism in this country IS ACTING IN BAD FAITH.
Sunny, and millions of other black voters, should absolutely be skeptical and critical of anyone making this kind of argument. These are the liberals that Malcolm X tried to warn the people about.

I don’t understand those people who are upset at Ana for wanting to listen to Coleman’s argument. And why is it wrong to focus on poverty as a whole instead of by certain racial groups? I understand that Black and Hispanic communities might be more affected by poverty, but It makes sense to try and analyze and help all people regardless of race. I think Ana is doing a great job and hopefully Coleman is on the TYT soon.

The reality is that they are both right, two things can be right at the same time.

So it should be addressed with a separate bill and while working on other bills.

Also, Sunny said that she said that people were using him and co-opting his message on the right. Not necessarily that he is a grifter.

The one aspect that Ana ignores is that usually Blacks & Latinos are institutionally discriminated against whereas whites, for the most part, are poor for lack of personal incentive on their part.
See the difference?
It certainly would be understandable if poverty came about because of forces beyond our control… illness, disability, mental illness, etc.
And those factors do come into play for a number of us.
Still, We can’t ignore the Elephant in the room, which quite frankly is institutionalized racism against Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Gays, Disabled, etc.
We need to stop pretending it doesn’t exist because it’s expedient for one reason or another.

@@CustodioLugo I wasn’t deflecting from the subject, I was specifically taking issue with you using the incorrect term. You could and should have just used the term discrimination instead of using the word racism to mean something it doesn’t. But you knew that already.
Regarding the subject at hand, your assumption that poor whites are poor due to lack of personal incentive whereas anyone black is poor because of institutional racism is also inaccurate and not the complete picture.
Is there institutional racism against black people? Absolutely.
Are all poor blacks poor because of institutional racism?? Absolutely not. Some black people are poor because of a lack of personal incentive also, just as some white people are.
Many people, regardless of race or skin colour are poor, primarily because of classism, not racism. They are born into families with no generational wealth (which could be for a variety of reasons), so start with nothing. Some people do manage to build themselves up from nothing (personal incentive, plus opportunity and luck usually), but most don’t.
A lot of successful people (most), don’t start with nothing. They come from a family that may or may not be rich, but are at least financially stable and they get a good head start in life (eg. Not having to face the issues of living in poverty, comfortably having housing, clothing and food, support and opportunity for a decent education and career, etc).
