All this BS and all we got was a long winded “all lives matter” and “pick your self up by your boot straps” talk?

I’d say the past 200 years of protests have done a lot
They just made gay marriage legal like 3 years ago. Civil rights for different communities are still actively being fought for through protest.
Think about a chain restaurant. A decision like giving a customer 3 scoops of some ingredient instead of 2 isn’t a huge one on a case by case basis. But Subway, Chipotle, etc make slight adjustments to these decisions and they aggregate to company making or breaking decisions. You let justice inequality, employment inequality, etc apply to every person in America and those inequalities will realize themselves in large differences, and those differences will
compound with other factors. Being proactive about your life and protesting inequalities aren’t mutually exclusive. A lot of minority communities in America have benefited from protestors.
So did you just ignore that graph showing well off black males doing worse than they're white counter parts?In 2018, we live in a classist society and I think that outweighs all of the racism that has and is occurring.
Capitalism is one tool that does not jive with racial inequality.

what? have you not been reading?
notice how "doing the best you can do" does nothing to change the fact that those things above f*ck people of color each and every day.
- fair and equal treatment by the criminal justice system
- fair and equal pay not affected by gender racial bias
- equally access to opportunity
- fair and equal access to quality education
Listen I am an economist by training and profession.
What you are saying is not only philosophically wrong, but also scientifically asinine.
Ok Mr. Economist. What is your actual suggestion to the African American community for the future. Not asking for data but a suggestion on what the community should be doing to overcome systemic inequality.
1) Don’t break the law. Follow the rules.
2) Not true, fair and equal pay is happening all around. If not then find another company. But the truth is. Brandon and Jerome will not have the same resume. If they do, there are also factors like GPA, and skill level.
3) Opportunity? Everybody gets opportunities and they come in all shapes, forms, and sizes.
4) Everybody goes from K-12 dude. But now we have this new thing called the internet where you can learn about a lot of new things.
Done
yea you was mad that i borrowed your fishnet tank top and leather pants with the *** cheeks cut out without asking firstMember that one time i hit you with the ghetto blaster for stepping out of line ?
That raptors gif haha
Yeah, @RustyShackleford, please solve centuries of racial discrimination in one single post on a sneaker forum board! Cuz if u can't, you're argument is wwwWrrrOOOoonNNgG!!!
Lmao!How long before we see trump in some yeezys?
1) Don’t break the law. Follow the rules
Respect. But you’re wrong. I have gone through what you are going through. But I talked to the owner of the company. And I also threatened to take my talents elsewhere. Turned around and got more then my white counterpart along with a bunch of apologies.
Next time you have a review, bring up what you’ve done for the company, bring up your reward. Bring up that you could get paid more at Such-nSuch other company. You have experience and context with your company and those things count.
Capitalism is one tool that does not jive with racial inequality. Use it.

I think an interesting case study would be Africans coming to America and becoming successful vs AA journey to success
From personal conversation, it's the root of Africans resentment towards AA's. A lack of appreciation for opportunity...
Not my thoughts but would be interesting.
Africans and carribean folk have the benefit of not having their history rooted in America
Yes but what I was getting at is not having your history rooted here means you get to escape the cultural conditioning that comes with it.Would they not be treated the same or even worse (if accents are involved)?
