The young guy has it right.

Dox. Victorian is a period of time, en era. I think you and I simply disagree on the severity of the challenges faced African-Americans.

Doc. You cannot compare Victorian middle class to 1950s middle class. In any case, Victorian middle only represented minority among whites or blacks. Besides, the Great Depression plunged millions into poverty. Only federal intervention saved many people and the World War II ended that recession. Today's middle has its roots in 1944 GI bill where millions of returning veterans were given money for education, mortgages and businesses. Uncle Sam rewarded his white boys and the greatest economic expansion in history was ignited. Unlike their comrades, the GI bill did not benefit black vets. Exclusionary laws and discriminatory bank practices practically denied them everything. In other words, they faced structural/systemic racism. It is one thing for the average person to be racist but when the Government itself enacts discriminatory laws and practices, it is hard to overcome that. Blacks simply had no access to resources that could kick start economic mobility. None of ethnicities you mentioned faced the level of racism and exclusion as the blacks did. The Jews in Europe were excluded from many economic activities but they had niche industries mainly money brokers or the middle men, the Armenians in Ottoman Empire (before the genocide) were not systemically excluded from the empire. They were part of the civil service, had important positions at the highest level, so much so, Ottomans became jealous. They were not banned from trading. Nothing matches what was done to African Americans. It is amazing they survived at all.

Firstly, I don't know where you get the number of 90% of black males are in prison. That's highly unlikely. Secondly, the Irish and Chinese were economic migrants. Nobody put them to boats and sold them like properties in foreign lands. Thirdly, the black families never had stable existence. During slavery, families were torn apart as they were sold from one owner to another. During the civil war, families were also split. There was some stability during Jim Crow, but poverty and indentured servitude to former slave owners made life difficult. During the Great migration, families were further separated. Blacks did find economic opportunities in the North through manufacturing jobs but that ended when the white boys returned from World War II and the white flight to the subarbs. Speaking of dependency, America's white middle class came into being cuz the Government helped in creating. It was not just through hard and organization that made it happen.

Doc. You seem to be under the impression that blacks chose poverty and violence; things are far complex. It is hard to recover from slavery, Jim Crow, the Great Northern Migration, Civil Rights attacks, ghettoisation, war on drugs and other systemic issues lack of access to good education and employment. Why do you know how the white middle class came about?

Doctor, things don't happen in vacuum, this has been brewing for decades and this killing was last straw. As looting, it was by a small group and community its has come out against the looting. They actually helped the victims of looting. By the way, when the cop stopped Micheal Brown, he was not aware if Micheal robbed anything. The outcome would have been the same whether Micheal robbed anything or not

This is a very simple, it is about the treatment of African Americans by the police. Through experience and research, it has be proven the police unfairly targets black males because of certain look and skin color. The media also perpetuated the idea of angry black men. When The Media Treats White Suspects And Killers Better Than Black Victims http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/14/media-black-victims_n_5673291.html By the way those of you condemning blacks and siding with police, it will be very unwise to side with cops without serious scrutiny. police views dark skin people not as people to serve. but simple as a threat that needs to be deal with and if necessary neutralized

Mogadishu on fire as security continue to disarm HAG heavyweights
Che -Guevara replied to malistar2012's topic in Politics
If these efforts are genuine, the Government deserves our support. Mogadishu is center of the Somali Nation, a peaceful Xamar will tremendously help the revival of people and state. -
But it was a big ditoore to admit the success in Hargeysa. Me think, you are just here to make trouble. I am told Ditoore is with the Chinese crew that's building Bosaso INTERNATIONAL airport [bIA] . Though it has not been build yet, sources close to Ditoore say BIA IS the biggest and best airport in the Horn or maybe in Africa.
