35. "i disagree" In response to In response to 29 Sun Feb-14-16 07:34 PM by akon
mainly because i think the article is talking about responsibility within the black community of 'have's' for the 'have-nots' this is independent of the wider social responsibility to address black/white racism which is what i think is being demanded by from sanders and the BLM movement.
i do think there are class issues, and i do think that this affects one's future outcome, independent of the racism that may inherently exist
but the racism is there there are articles e.g. which show the differential impact of racism (e.g on health) among black middle/upper class folk, compared to white folk of same socio-economic status. this proves that there is a 'race-ism' effect. we cant ignore that - it needs to be addressed concurrently with the issue of concentrated poverty.
which if you read the article, comes to this conclusion
"These findings are consistent with a growing body of literature suggesting that higher economic status in Blacks is more protective against early mortality than it is against early morbidity and that racial differences in health reflect more than differences in economic resources alone.3,12,41 The finding of larger racial disparities among the nonpoor than the poor, and among women than men, suggests that persistent racial differences in health may be influenced by the stress of living in a race-conscious society. These effects may be felt particularly by Black women because of “double jeopardy” (gender and racial discrimination).12,42,43
