					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://thyblackman.com/2024/03/18/continuing-the-march-the-2024-state-of-black-america-and-the-ongoing-struggle-for-civil-rights/comment-page-1/#comment-556404&quot;&gt;Eugenio&lt;/a&gt;.

Your words speak volumes about the deep-seated issues of systemic racism, injustice, and inequality in America. The history of oppression and disenfranchisement that Black and Native American communities have faced is a painful and undeniable reality that still reverberates today. The assertion that white supremacy and greed continue to dominate the nation’s social and political structures is a sobering reminder of the work that still needs to be done to create a truly equal society.

You bring up an important point about the historical roots of racism and manipulation in American politics, particularly with regard to the Democratic Party&#039;s complicated history with our community. It&#039;s essential to acknowledge this past and the ongoing covert forms of discrimination that we face today.

The diversion of resources and opportunities away from our communities and towards other groups can indeed perpetuate systemic racism and disenfranchisement. Recognizing these patterns is a crucial step in combating these injustices.

You raise a pressing concern about the lack of economic opportunities for our young Black Christians within our own communities. The absence of Black-owned businesses and the dominance of other groups in retail and service sectors in Black neighborhoods is troubling.

It&#039;s essential to acknowledge that economic empowerment and ownership are critical components of community resilience and progress. However, structural barriers like lack of access to capital, unequal lending practices, and other discriminatory policies may contribute to these disparities.

The phenomenon you describe highlights a pattern of economic extraction and cultural appropriation that contributes to the ongoing marginalization of our communities. When non-Black groups profit from Black cultural traditions like soul food, without investing in the well-being of our community or providing employment opportunities for our people, it perpetuates a cycle of inequality.

Supporting Black-owned businesses and promoting culturally-sensitive and equitable investment in Black neighborhoods could help shift this dynamic. Initiatives such as promoting access to capital, providing business training, and encouraging social enterprise can empower Black entrepreneurs to reclaim their community&#039;s economic power.

It&#039;s important to be cautious when making broad generalizations about any group of people, even when expressing frustration or concern. While it&#039;s true that there are cases where non-Black communities have exploited our neighborhoods without giving back, it&#039;s crucial to recognize that not all individuals from these groups act in this manner.

I think it&#039;s vital to foster unity and collaboration between communities, while also addressing the systemic issues that enable such exploitation. Instead of blaming fellow marginalized groups, let&#039;s focus our efforts on dismantling the larger systems of inequality and creating opportunities for Black-owned businesses and initiatives to thrive. This way, our communities can begin to build and retain wealth within their own neighborhoods, rather than contributing to the economic success of those who do not invest in their well-being.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is no Democracy or Equality in America; there is only greed and control by white people for white people. America will always be racist towards everything but more so towards black people or African Americans and they will do everything in their power to maintain that power, control and balance of a country that was taking by blood away from the true aboriginal people of these land, who we all know as Native American Indians.

The Civil rights was just a tool use by the Democrats aka the party of the KKK to secure the complete support for hundreds of years of the black community vote for the Democratic party. Nothing has change, there is still racism and discrimination towards black people but it is not in the open anymore; Indeed, it is Suttle and discreet by means of denying jobs, housing, loans, grants and full benefits to black people and instead giving it to illegal immigrants and to other races who are using the civil rights movements to benefit their community and destroy our black community at the same time.

Where do our young black Christian children work at? Have you as a black pastor, priest, father, brother, sister, mother, uncle, cousin asked yourself where are our young black Christian children working at?. You lived in a black community? have you notice who owns all the businesses in the black communities such as liquor stores, beauty shops, nail salons, coffee shops, mini markets, grocery stores, car washes, motel etc..; Yes, it is own by Asians, Middle eastern, untouchables, Hispanics etc.. and these people do not hire any of our young black Christian men and women; instead they hire their own racist people and they proceed to take all the wealth and little money away from the poorest black inner cities. 

Quite interesting to see that all the soul food restaurants in black inner cities are owned by Asians and Hispanics who are the ones cooking black food and selling black unhealthy food to our black community; Yet, they do not hire any black men or women of that community and neither to they invest in any endeavor that will benefit the well being of our black Christian children&#039;s.

Yes, as black people we are very stupid and dumb for always allowing other races into our community who do not give a Damm about our black children and who in turn are becoming rich and sending their racist children to college with our black dollars.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The capitalist pendulum in America has swung too far to the political right ( i.e. the wealthiest members of our nation ). We must use our votes to help remind the wealthy that it is the lower and middle classes of America( i.e. the working classes ) that make our democracy, and economic systems work.The wealthy are presently leaning towards a white supremacy,white privilege,existential,nihilist autocracy not a traditional democracy.We must right the ship of state with our votes.Being wealthy does not necessarily mean that the wealthy are qualified to lead a pluralistic representative democracy with a capitalist economic base that believes in an unequal distribution of available goods and services based on merit. Merit is defined as usefulness to the republic.The workers of this nation are more important to the majority of the citizens than the rich people.America does not laud the rich, they praise the working people.]]></description>
