Except no he wasn't. What he said goes against data. White men are no where close to being the poorest of the poor. So his entire point was based on bullshyt.
Then he argued the whole racism ain't the problem it's classism. Which is again.... Bullshyt
We have to stop allowing people who bring no data , to be allowed talking about black folks. Which is Yvette's main point
I thought he was talking about small town whites in those coal towns and swamps,and cacs who live in trailers? I dont know if there is data to say they not,but we know they poor as shyt......My only problem is that just on the surface nikka sounded scary as hell
But after reading what he said,seems like he's talking from a more strategic standpoint....I dont agree anybody is above criticism,but I do think some people should be given benefit of the doubt.....If you assume to know where his heart is at he is a black man speaking on what he thinks is the best strategic way for black people to make gains.
He is consistent,its the same reason he probaly doesnt like "militants",He thinks we should make gains quietly,not rock the system,because that will make white people mad which will make it harder for us because it will put cacs in defense mode.
I'm not one of those people who is disrespectful of the civil rights movement,unfortunatley nobody as powerful as Martin Luther King who was basically the architect,was alive to see his complete plan through...nobody had his same vision or power
but at the same time I respect the militant side,and he cant be arrogant acting like they way didnt work when they were assasinated.....its in poor taste first of all,second of all the civil rights movement aint exactly worked out flawlessly,there are no right and wrong answers seeing as though black folks is still fukked up as a community at large.
