I doubt the Latinos moving out to Allentown are "middle class". Middle class Latinos tend to move to North Jersey or Long Island.
I would consider Elizabeth and Hempstead to be on the same level as Allentown but more densely populated. It's different if you're talking about Hoboken, North Shore etc but average LI and NJ areas are just crowded Allentown and North Philly.
Honestly, this video just confirms what I've always suspected: Liberals just use racism to advance their agenda.
Racism is a social issue, not a policy one. To think "Free Healthcare" is going to solve racism is folly. If one really wanted to tackle racism we need as a country to actually call it for what it is: a moral issue rooted in one's hatred for their fellow man.
Yes, there is such a thing as structural racism, and I understand that requires structural changes, but in the end there's no set of government policies that will truly fix hearts.
I agree with you. She was trying to mimic a southern accent because if it would have been a black one, she probably would speak Ebonics.
But the reason why people think it's a black accent, which it is clearly not, is because she was giving that speech to an almost all-black audience where the people are Al Sharpton supporters.
People on this forum seem to make black people look so one dimensional. I live in GA (don't mean to make GA represent the South but just an example) and there is no one way a black person talks. It's pretty embarrassing to read some of these comments. It really does show how little Americans truly know about U.S. accents. It's like...do you people ever leave your fu***** sofa much less the state?

Hempstead is not middle class, Latinos who move there tend to be poor.
It's not about density, it's about quality of life. Moving from Corona to Hempstead or Allentown would likely not be an improvement.
People who advocate for socialism do not understand that you first need the rich to tax from. Ironically, since the rich are rich, they'll have the power to say, "goodbye!" and move somewhere else - like another country - where they will not be heavily taxed. That'll leave the tax burden on both the middle income and on the poor. Some middle incomers will leave and then that's where everyone else will eat out of a garbage can: Because there is no tax base to run things.
This is exactly what is happening in France with the yellow vest protests: The rich said goodbye and left to other parts of the world.
This is why I think that "Democratic Socialism" is a very big danger to this country. And... people who don't think or research are a danger because they vote these people in. Voting for someone because of identity politics has got to be the biggest scam in all of history!
I don't follow French, but I'm pretty sure France eliminated the wealth tax in 2017 or 2018.
The elimination of the wealth tax and the increase of gas prices that predominately affect middle to lower income households is the reason for the protest.

Free healthcare would go a long way in solving a number of social inequities.

Well yeah, they had to eliminate the wealth tax because the wealthy were leaving in droves. But it was too late. It was like the Titanic turning the ship to avoid the iceberg they had already hit. The tax base was already depleted, and well the po' and the middle class had to pick up the slack, cause where else were they going to tax?

But the problem is that "free healthcare" doesn't exist. How are doctors, nurses, administrative staff, technicians, paramedics and others going to get paid?

Free healthcare does indeed exist. Of course is paid for via taxes. But when you PERSONALLY go to said doctors or medical institutions, it is FREE for the PATIENT because everything has been paid for via taxation.
And no, I don't care that a people with 10 billion have only 9 billion left because of this, or the person taking time 5 million is now bringing home only 4 million because of this.
The ridiculous part is this forum is pretty much all working class (yes people hide behind charades) yet many of you take in right wing propaganda to defend an one percent you haven't a snow ball chance in hell of ever being a part of.
