Stop 3/5ing the vote of the AA community.

20. Yes, 3/5th has been institutionalized

and generationally-engrained. This is what we call "systemic racism" and the perpetrators have a scotoma to the fact that they are contributing to the system of racism/white supremacy by continuing to insist on their world-views being "universal", and anything contrary to that is "wrong".

The hand-wringing going on here on DU is an example of this, as there is a complete disconnect regarding how many POC see the candidates - i.e., from their own world-views/experiences/expectations/desires, versus the world-views of the complainers, who would generally be risk-averse to anything impacting their own world-views/experiences/expectations/desires.

So the complainers then label POC as being impacted by such nonsense as "Stockholm Syndrome" - which not surprisingly references an incident in a country with a notable tiny population of (non-European) blacks. And in order to do this, they highly exaggerate, to the level of fantasy, what their chosen worldview is and why it must be "universal", and will demonize anything, to the point of ridiculousness, that would contribute to a different point of view contrary to theirs.

As black-talker and Civil Rights activist Joe Madison says daily -

In America, we are culturally conditioned to believe, that White is superior, Black is inferior, and the manifestation of that cultural conditioning is that Black people are undervalued, underestimated and marginalized.
