Redlining

5 part essay that outlines the history of oppression of black Americans even after the Civil Rights act that you could read to educate yourself but I know you won't.
Also read the autobiography of Malcolm X if you want a firsthand account of the way the government and white society has always and continues to hold back African Americans socially and economically.
I thought lobotomies were banned in the 50s, did you go to the black market to get yours? Speaking of the 50s, segregation was still legal then. If you grow up in poor conditions you will generally have less skills and a lower passion for academia. Black people are overrepresented in lower economic brackets due to slavery and segregation, due to the tiny social mobility of late-stage capitalism there aren't enough people climbing up through poverty meaning that these systemic problems could echo into many future generations if not proactively met with legislation that seeks to undo the effects that slavery and segregation (aswell as colonization for native Africans) have had for black people.
Ahh so you cant? Asian people were generally considered honorary whites in much of the segregationist south, although they weren't very common. That means that they weren't faced with segregationist policies such as redlining as often. And if you are so stupid that you need it spelling out for you segregation = worse services such as education. Worse education leads to lowers social mobility, meaning that for what are still very recent generations, black people were stuck in poverty.
Haha 4 star replying to one star and then saying I dodged your points when I cant physically send enough messages to counter your ignorant bullshit. Hispanic people are doing worse because a lot of Hispanic immigrants were poor already in their home country and moved for a better life only to be faced with the same conditions as before with a higher cost of living, Hispanics were also hit by segregationist policies such as redlining. A high majority of Asian immigrants are either 1st 2nd or 3rd generation meaning they arrived after segregation ended, Generally it is a lot harder to emigrate across the word than to a neighboring country and so the people that took that risk were more likely to be well of in their home country but flee due to policy disagreements. As they (east Asians) were considered "honorary whites" in much of the south they faced a lower amount of discrimination. Adding to that there are a lot of positive stereotypes surrounding Asian people which means that they can come off as more employable compared to a Hispanic or Black person with the same qualifications. This will be the end of my comment thread with you as I have to out for lunch.
Yo disrespectfully shut the actual fuck up, just because a couple of white guys in the south found Asian ppl more tolerable than othe minorities does not make them “honorary whites”, nor did it ever give them an advantage. Asian people were HEAVILY discriminated against during the same period of segregation, it was only after the civil rights act and the tech boom that Asian Americans actually got a grip on the economy you fucking buffoon. Most asian immigrants before that were refugees or poor in their home countries looking for opportunities elsewhere because their home was plateaued permanently because of corrupt governments. You don’t have to try to validate your argument for one group by invalidating the experiences of another but apparently you never learned that growing up braindead fuck.
God a canuck that cares too much about american politics is the most pathetic canadian. Just tryna larp as someone from an interesting country (amerika)>
Also, don't compare asian immigrants to black americans.
Asian immigrants who went to amerika as refugees (tibetian-nepalis) are much poorer than asian immigrants who went to amerika as college educated immigrants (indians).
Ofcourse asian immigrants, who go to usa to study in a good university and get a good job are gonna have a better outcome than black americans whose cities have been ruined by drugs (thanks reagen) and gang violence (gangs existing because amerikan police deliberately caused chaos and stopped actually good black+white organizations who were uplifting their community like BPP and YPO).
Also, ofcourse you're an EG fan. Stop using us asians to justify american history
You are Canadian. You literally speak english. This is the only language your head can comprehend. How the fuck do you not understand what I'm saying.
Asian immigrants lately who go to america are immigrants who already have money in asia and jave college education. So, despite there being bigotry, they can still succeed in academic and financial spaces.
Black americans are descendants of slaves who when freed, owned nothing. The plan grant had of giving the freed slaves land was not enacted.
Then after that, due to.american government's policies, they were not let to succeed. Black home owners weren't given loans, black cities were littered with drugs (due to cia and reagan), black cities were litered with crime because of poverty.
And because there's disenfrachisement and disillusionment to the political situation, black people had to make gangs to keep their neighbours safe. And these gangs were parasitic, and the good organizations like (black panthers and young patriofs) were destroyed by the cia/fbi + the police. Which meant only the bad gangs remained.
Basically, just like how American military funds isis and alqueda and creates conditiond that let them grow, and uses them as an excuse to increase military spending. The same american police does the same thing. They force conditions for gangs to thrive and uses gangs to increase police spending.
Blud only replied to me insulting him being able to speak only one language 💀💀
Also I'm pretty sure india and nepal are more diverse than canada.
Nepal itself has 123 recognized languages dude.
Just give up. You think the world works like a disney marvel movie or fast and furious. Your brain can't understand systems and how systems affect peoples.
"Woke" is a slang term that originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and has been widely adopted in modern culture. It is used to describe a heightened awareness of social and political issues, especially those related to racial and social justice. Being "woke" means being conscious of systemic inequalities, discrimination, and injustices, and actively working to challenge and address them.
Someone who is "woke" is often seen as being informed, socially conscious, and willing to engage in conversations about topics such as racism, inequality, gender discrimination, and other social issues. It implies a sense of responsibility to stay informed about the world and to take action to promote positive change.
However, the term "woke" has also faced criticism and has been used in various contexts, sometimes humorously or ironically, to highlight performative activism or insincere displays of social awareness. As language and culture continue to evolve, the meaning and usage of the term can vary based on context and intent.
basically "Being "woke" means being conscious of systemic inequalities, discrimination, and injustices, and actively working to challenge and address them."

Drama is good for ufc like how drama is good for wwe.
Companies are different woahh man!!!
It's true that companies can set subcultures and can use it effectively to make money. But as it stands right now, riot is content with being a normie company. They don't need drama gimmick to change their business strategy.
