(18,998 posts)It is much harder to look down on someone who is leading a middle class life...but easy for some to justify their feelings when they are poor.
And the child of a poor family is far more likely to grow up poor because hungry children do not do well is school...and that is another reason to think of them as inferior.
But I am curious as to what you think is a black economic plan...welfare perhaps?
The only plan I know of is equal rights which brought black people into the middle class starting in the late 60...but I don't think of equal rights in employment a black plan...it is justice not a plan. A plan would be to raise the income of all people.
And a plan like raising the minimum wage would help proportionally more PoC because the greatest proportion of them are poor.
But beyond economic justice I don't know what you want done. Do you want a law passed that makes it illegal to be a racist? Thought crime leduslation?...no, to me economic justice is not the final solution but it is the most important one.
