You missed the net completely on this.
The decline of manufacturing, with large scale corporations sending the jobs overseas, hurts African-Americans.
The drug war and militarized police forces that put Black men and women into prisons, bolstered by white conservative voters; cut down on the options available to African-Americans affected.
The cutting of public education and funding to public universities/HBCUs made higher education a far more costly and difficult to acquire tool for African-Americans.
The permanent creation of an underclass and the exploitation of low skilled workers, places African-Americans in a position where another underclass fits in the same area.
You are describing the fukking symptoms and not the goddamn problem itself. You are wholeheartedly falling for the okie-doke.
Nothing you typed is a secret or negates the simple fact that low level jobs use to be available to AA and now no longer are....
You talking about manufacturing jobs and universities, I’m talking about a demographic who never was going have access to that anyway! Obviously it’s reasons for THAT but focusing on that is whataboutism when you advocate giving those opportunities to illegals RIGHT NOW. Thats the okie doke
