When it comes to what's best for Black People, it's time for White People to mind their business

30. I don't think the point was to imply that we are a monolith

Look at Stacey Dash, she does not mind white people speaking for her or making all the decisions. She seems to feel that complaining implies weakness. But, yes, what affects one affects the other but... Sometimes what affects one negatively is a net positive for the other group.

Take wage stagnation, we blacks have not experienced the level of wage stagnation that white people complain about happening in the last forty years. We actually have experience growth while whites have flatlined. Keeping our wages low and keeping us out of many unions had the affect of allowing white males to be paid more. Without that boot on our neck, we have higher wages than 40 years ago comparatively. And without that boot on our neck white wages are flatlined. Not saying this is the only cause of wage stagnation, or division but it is one.

Therefore, the rhetoric of America sucking now compared to the days of FDR or Kennedy falls on deaf ears. White populism passes us by because we do not live the white experience. Which is one reason the appeals to us that we were voting against our best interests because we could go BACK to better times did not work. We are not nostalgic like our white counterparts. There is no better time to be a black person in america than this day. I think that white people just do not realize that.
