For all you socialist supporters, how exactly will socialism help blacks? In any program there has to be someone to administer the “benefits”. That someone/entity will still be humans who have biases.
It’s capitalism that enables money to flow in to promote AOCs platform in the first place. Yes it’s great for her because it gives her a stage to be a person with power. It will not be the same for individuals.

@DEAD7 and I are having a back-and-forth about capitalism vs social democracy. To be clear, I'm advocating social democracy. Social democracy is different than democratic socialism.
And yes, I agree that socialism has the one flaw that capitalism has. There's going to be a group flushed with money, which will lead to corruption and ultimately dysfunction. Democratic socialism would need thorough checks and balances, far more than what we have, to be successful. Unfortunately, no country has gotten close to implementing it yet. So as much as people want to scream "it doesn't work, it can't work", there's never been an actual opportunity to see or let it work.
NOTE: Though, social democracy is a blend between capitalism and socialism, it's normally put in the socialism category.
