but it's like everyone completely side stepping the existence of native americans and black americans (as in the descendants of US slavery)

2020-01-02 13:40:33 UTC  

My gut says it's a ploy to keep 'us' from getting involved in the immigration debate, a la barbara jordan in the 90s

2020-01-02 13:40:56 UTC  

the dems have their reasons for it, the republicans are very hypocritical about illegal alien labor etc, like Nunes' family farm in Iowa

2020-01-02 13:42:18 UTC  

Multi layered, becaue you have people like Candace Owens who are affiliated with TPUSA, which gets attacked by the America Firsters for pushing the Conservative Inc legal immigration line

2020-01-02 13:42:25 UTC  

Owens is not ADOS iirc

2020-01-02 13:43:13 UTC  

the immigration fight is important on its own, but it is also a labor issue in general, which is always attacked full spectrum in the US

2020-01-02 13:44:01 UTC  

yes you are right, candace is a caribbean american

any server for uk?

2020-01-02 13:44:32 UTC  

My favorte chart on that issue

2020-01-02 13:44:52 UTC  

interesting view though, i didn't think about the immigration issue from that angle fully

2020-01-02 13:45:00 UTC  

or spain?

2020-01-02 13:45:03 UTC  

I'm not a huge union fan, but SOMETHING has to be done about the declining worker's share of gross income

2020-01-02 13:45:03 UTC  

xd

2020-01-02 13:45:33 UTC  

model wise, it basically goes to creditors, the rise of household debt to gdp ratio is basically the inverse of that chart

2020-01-02 13:46:17 UTC  

i think we (black american DOS) need to be treated as a protected group akin to native americans, but also that we & native americans need to form a united front on this issue

2020-01-02 13:46:32 UTC  

i'm gonna look into the workers issue

2020-01-02 13:46:58 UTC  

I would be happy just to have some separate consciousness on the topic. I think about it from a foreign policy aspect as well.

2020-01-02 13:47:33 UTC  

cool 🙂

2020-01-02 13:48:13 UTC

Blacks always get sucked into spearheading the wider 'poc' movements and lose our specific representation

2020-01-02 13:49:47 UTC  

and end up not benefitting in the end

2020-01-02 13:50:00 UTC  

need to find that picture of the cake

2020-01-02 13:50:08 UTC  

historically, any black-led movements benefit ALL.

2020-01-02 13:50:12 UTC  

I dislike how the gays piggy backed on Civil Rights

2020-01-02 13:50:19 UTC  

yup, and their specific movements benefit them

2020-01-02 13:50:22 UTC  

when it's a "POC" thing black people do not benefit

2020-01-02 13:50:24 UTC  

and often purposefully exclude blacks lol

2020-01-02 13:50:30 UTC  

you can set your watch to it lol

2020-01-02 13:50:34 UTC  

i hate the whole POC thing

2020-01-02 13:50:49 UTC  

I always cross out 'African American" and put Black AMerican as well

2020-01-02 13:50:52 UTC  

black issues are a separate entity

2020-01-02 13:51:08 UTC  

In one overlooked area, Blacks are also way underpresented in counterintelligence issues

2020-01-02 13:51:12 UTC  

yes i am also in favor of the Black American title over African American, as i don't think that ever made sense

2020-01-02 13:51:16 UTC  

we might be corrupt, but we rarely sell out America

2020-01-02 13:51:30 UTC  

meanwhile every week there is a case of a Chinese 'American" selling secrets

2020-01-02 13:52:17 UTC  

Other groups will never understand how Black AMericans view the country, they'll never love it the same way despite the rhetoric you hear about "we came over as immigrants to fin da better life bla bla"

2020-01-02 13:52:19 UTC  

because we don't have outside allegiances or connection, that might be a big reason why

2020-01-02 13:52:19 UTC  

GG @schuyler, you just advanced to level 2!

2020-01-02 13:52:23 UTC  

indeed
