Selling Marxism has been a tough row to hoe in America, though that's not to say that those selling it haven't made inroads toward getting us there. But our laissez faire roots and inherent disdain for the anti-freedom control mechanisms needed to sustain outright communism have made it difficult for the peddlers to find the necessary buyers over the years. That's why they've gotten creative in recent decades, finding their magic beans, so to speak, by suggesting that "people of color" tend to be financially less well-off than white people, thereby establishing racial inequity as a substitute for class struggle.
Racial variance in levels of income is often the first thing that is referenced. For example, the most common argument is here represented by CNN in June 2021:
The median income of Black Americans in 2019 tied prior highs, according to the most recent US Census Bureau data. But non-Hispanic White Americans saw their median income hit a record, thanks to the booming economy[.] ...
Black workers face significant wage gaps in the labor market, and these differentials have grown since 2000.
The intention, of course, is that the reader will assume that this disparity exists primarily due to racial discrimination in our society. Notably missing, however, is literally any other demographic data whatsoever beyond that binary comparison.
That's not accidental. You see, any additional context when it comes to racial or ethnic income disparities makes the "black and white" CNN narrative tumble like a house of cards.
Yes, white Americans earn more, on average, than black Americans. That's a data point, not a story. In reality, there are many more data points to consider beyond this little cherry-picked microcosm of how races and ethnicities financially perform in American life.

Labels help their cause, they create boogie men so they can set their sites on white America much like the Nazis did to the jews. Don’t think for one minute this cant happen here. There are those waiting in the wings and willing to help
I thought not.
It is common for people to blame others for their own failure, especially when that blame is promoted for generations by mass media. Every society has paths to success and paths to failure. In the U.S. the path to success is to get a good education (work hard in school), learn a marketable skill or trade, stay out of trouble with the law, be responsible, reliable, get married before having kids, etc. People of any race who follow this path will likely thrive. Few of those that don’t will prosper. If large numbers of certain groups embrace a “culture” that does not take education seriously, celebrates drug use, criminality, violence, promiscuity, out of wedlock births, and government dependency, it’s not surprising they will not do well. Few of ANY group that follow the path of failure, or have never been taught about the path of success will do well. Race has little or anything to do with it.
It is no accident that the education industrial complex is behind much of the CRT/systemic racism BS; they are the primary reason most blacks quickly fall behind every new arrival in this country - including those who don’t speak a word of English. Rather than admit that they’ve failed to educate, they point at the “raciss” boogeyman - while devouring billions of dollars per year.
As long as many blacks vote themselves plantation status at the ballot box, their lots in life will only worsen.
The best rebuttal comes from the hard working African immigrants who want no part of our entitlement minded, sexually wild, native born blacks. I’d welcome them next door anytime, and I’m sure most Freepers would too.
“Rather than admit that they’ve failed to educate, they point at the “raciss” boogeyman - while devouring billions of dollars per year.”
You can’t educate someone who isn’t motivated, doesn’t want to learn, doesn’t think it’s important and therefore doesn’t put any effort in it. A great teacher can help but most of the kids will fail.
I’d welcome them next door anytime, and I’m sure most Freepers would too.
I won’t even disagree; let’s just stop paying teachers so much for 180 days of work per year which aren’t even full-time days. There are few other jobs where such poor results demand even higher pay; cops are another one of them, and NONE exist in the private sector.
Really? It's not like it's some fringe group with 1% of the population. It's supported by one of our two major political parties which has a much larger registration than the other party.
What Disproves the ‘White Supremacy’ Narrative
OBAMA
TWICE
If it were not for the white vote he would still be in the senate voting here 60% of the time.
Racism is when you don’t get your way well it.
Why disprove white supremacy? Its just a fact. Celebrate it.

Are White Men Gods? (II): Getting the Facts Straight
Posted on June 25, 2015 by Fred Reed
I find Cornel West, a black professor, complaining of White Supremacy, which he believes our black President needs to remedy. Obama, he says, is “niggerized.”
“A *iggerized black person is a black person who is afraid and scared and intimidated when it comes to putting a spotlight on white supremacy and fighting against white supremacy,” West said.
I would like to explain to Professor West a few things about this dread supremacy:
We have White Supremacy, Professor, because for 2500 years we, whites, have produced the best minds on the planet, the greatest flourishing of the arts and sciences ever seen, the most complex and organized societies. We have White Supremacy, whatever exactly it may be, because we have been the earth’s most successful race. No other has come close. Deal with it.
We put probes on Mars and invented the thousands of technologies needed to do it. We developed the symphony orchestra, the highest form of musical expression. We invented the airplane, the computer, the internet, and tennis shoes. Putting it compactly, we invented the modern world. A degree of privilege, however you may conceive it, goes with the territory.
Space Shuttle
A product of white engineers. When you can do this, come back and talk to me.
Blacks may not have the background to grasp the extent of our achievements. Still, permit me a brief and very incomplete list of things white people have done or invented:
Euclidean geometry. Parabolic geometry. Hyperbolic geometry. Projective geometry. Differential geometry. Calculus: Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration. Physical chemistry. Organic chemistry. Biochemistry. Classical mechanics. The indeterminacy principle. The wave equation. The Parthenon. The Anabasis. Air conditioning. Number theory. Romanesque architecture. Gothic architecture. Information theory. Entropy. Enthalpy. Every symphony ever written. Pierre Auguste Renoir. The twelve-tone scale. The mathematics behind it, twelfth root of two and all that. S-p hybrid bonding orbitals. The Bohr-Sommerfeld atom. The purine-pyrimidine structure of the DNA ladder. Single-sideband radio. All other radio. Dentistry. The internal-combustion engine. Turbojets. Turbofans. Doppler beam-sharpening. Penicillin. Airplanes. Surgery. The mammogram. The Pill. The condom. Polio vaccine. The integrated circuit. The computer. Football. Computational fluid dynamics. Tensors. The Constitution. Euripides, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Homer, Hesiod. Glass. Rubber. Nylon. Roads. Buildings. Elvis. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. (OK, that’s nerve gas, and maybe we didn’t really need it.) Silicone. The automobile. Really weird stuff, like clathrates, Buckyballs, and rotaxanes. The Bible. Bug spray. Diffie-Hellman, public-key cryptography, and RSA. Et cetera.
Computers
Computers, invented by us. We are not the only ones who can design these monsters. The Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and Indians can do it, and they have my respect. But–Babbage, Turing, Shockley, Shannon, Boole, von Neumann–we invented computers. People who count on their fingers should maintain a discreet silence.
As a race, Cornel, we are happy for you, for anyone, to enjoy the benefits of our civilization, but that is exactly what it is—our civilization. It has become a global civilization because others among the competent—again, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Koreans—have found it to be in technical matters superior. It came from us. They, I note, do not complain of White Supremacy or White Privilege. They are too busy making computers and money.
Now, Cornel, I have often heard blacks demanding reparations for slavery. All right. I agree. It is only fair. I will pay a half-million dollars to each of my slaves, and free them immediately. I am not sure how many I have, but will try to give you an estimate in even dozens. Further, I believe that all blacks are entitled to a similar amount for every year in which they were slaves.
However, I think you owe us royalties for the use of our civilization, which can be regarded as a sort of software. There should be a licensing fee. After all, every time you use a computer, or a door knob, you are using something invented by us. Every time you sharpen a pencil, or use one, or read or write, you infringe our copyright, so to speak. We have spent millennia coming up with things–literacy, soap, counting–and it is only fair that we receive recompense.
The accounting burden would be excessive if we tried to distribute royalties in too fine a granularity, such as three cents per use of a boom box or a Glock, so we should probably use a bundled approach–so much per year for use of the wheel, refrigerator, and television. The amount could be deducted first from reparations payments and then automatically from EFT cards.
Now, Cornel, it isn’t that we whites want to be supreme. It is just that we haven’t been able to help it. It isn’t our fault that we produced Newton, Archimedes, Einstein, and all those mutants. They are just birth effects, things that happen to even the best families. You have to play the hand you are dealt. A little sympathy would be appropriate.
What I think, Cornel, is that if you want the advantages of success, you have to succeed. We have. It is chic to say that whites are now headed for the dust bin of history. Maybe. If so, historians of the future will say, “Damn! That was some really fine dust, wasn’t it?”

Very sophistocated kraal. And the peasants went without food to construct it.
