Above the fray.
Yes it is illusive because if you look at the number of Black faces in high places, the average observer would rationally believe that overall Black economic progress has improved substantially since the 1960s
Average observer would note that by some measures there was progress, and they would understand the underlying issues and reasons why more progress hasn't been made.

If you've never done so, go back and compare the numbers from 1945 to roughly the mid 1970s.
What do you see, and what do you think the factors were that contributed to what you see?

Im comparing the period when Black people started getting into political positions on large scale (1960s) to now. Why would I compare 1945 to 1970s?

Hispanic demographic is made up of different national origins, regions, and social classes. Speaking Spanish and being Catholic are the only things that really tie them all together.

Their votes are up for grabs for that reason.

The chaos you're seeing on the news now, is why the"I will hold my vote" & "no difference between parties" line was a bad stance in 2020. Might have sounded good when YTer said it, but wasn't applicable in real world setting.

Republican president, enabled by Rep. Senators/Reps and others is trying to tear the country apart. For real.

Agreed there votes are up for grabs because they aren’t as loyal to any one Party. They benefit from that lack of loyalty

what is the point of this :mjlol:


Malcolms mindframe and this speech are from the fukking 60s. For as much as you idiots want to think shyt is EXACTLY the same, its not. the world is different.

I seriously cannot understand how anyone can fix their mouth to say "but but both sides :damn:" when we just had the closest thing to a Nazi Coup this country has ever seen just last week. Jesus christ yall are fukking retarded.

Yknow what fukk it, ill say it too:

Malcolm was not fukking Infallible either. Alot of you nikkas are so captivated by the tough talk of his pre-haaj militancy that you cant see the reality we are in. Clinging only to the fantasy of a world without cacs.

Dont get it twisted: Pre Haaj Malcolm and the NOI's goal of separating from the West and forming our own independent nation is still probably the most preferable route for Black folks.

But is it realistic? Is it truly feasible? Personally id say no. :yeshrug:

But if it is, maybe you stupid motherfukkers need to spend more time formulating that fukking plan instead of talking shyt to "Liberals" and "Centrists" who actually offer solutions (the efficacy of these solutions can be debated but at least its something tangible other than watch Tariq Nasheed videos).

Funny thing is this is the exact same problem The radical cac left has as well.

Why have overall Black conditions remained stagnant despite the explosion in Black politicians? Wealth grows in lockstep with political representation for other groups.

Maybe because politicians have to work harder for the vote of other groups. Hispanics will be the biggest winners of this election cycle. They've proven that 30-50% of their vote is in play for either side. Both sides will work harder to get their vote.
Mainly because the overall conditions for ALL Americans had dropped.

Whites are in a worse position than they were decades ago. What makes you think somehow issues that are causing a decline in muddle class wealth for the entire nation should have no effect on blacks?
