I'm sure all of those unemployed Black kids from the hood will stop flash mobbing and terrorizing White yuppies when an out-of-touch elderly White guy who favors multi-millionaires is elected .
Real life class warfare has already started with Black kids taking to the streets of gentrified wealthy majority White downtown neighborhoods in DC, Philadelphia and Chicago beating random White yuppies and robbing them of their overpriced slave-labor produced iphones and such. Occupy protests in cities across the land became very violent last year. The occupy protests in Oakland were particularly violent. It will only get worse:
What do they do with random (poor) white burger flippers?
Just because you have a job doesn't mean your content so I believe class warfare is really, very real but it's not Obama who started it, it's years and years of inequality, inflation on the cost of everything in America and low wages. Also racism and discrimination plays a part aans well. Those jobs that are lost are lost its not coming back so the new America that will prosper will come from the people, the working people not the government to create answers to our problems.
I think American a will become like one of those movies which 99% are poor and rich people basically live in fear of getting killed daily. The poor isn't contempt anymore with having nothing, the slaves aren't slaves, people want more and this is the problem. Government doesn't have anymore tricks up its sleeve to calm down the people anymore.
This is not new. Class was a major consideration during and after the Revolution. For instance only property owning white males were allowed to vote or hold political office. Everyone else was a tenant farmer, child worker, indentured servant or a slave. Or maybe just a woman. In those days class differences and warfare would allow people to starve in the dark.
The only thing that has really changed is some of the wealthy are more willing to bribe the untermensch into keeping quiet and peaceful with welfare and the appearance of opportunity. Increasingly the Republican Party has become dominated by people that are willing to use force to keep the working folks and the poor in their place. Now they are working to enslave the women, regardless of economic standing, as well.
Our country has taken more time than many other republics to return to rule by a few very wealthy. With some luck and major political reform we could avoid becoming an oligarchy dominated by the pampered rich.
So black folks are already giving Romney their money?
Pretty much. He probably owns more than 50% of the Hip Hop stations in this country. I'm sure he doesn't have his hand in them directly, but the profits all flow to Mitt.
I work hard at a 0% employee owned business that nets $3M per year with a payroll under $400K, and two dozen employees with a homeownership rate of zero.
Like how exactly is Romney going to help us? We're more likely to become homeless than middle class.
Sounds about like a lot of small businesses in my area currently. It seems that the small businesses are the ones getting screwed in this country.
He isnt going to help you anymore then Obama will. Just as neither of them will help me. Thats my responsability.
There's only so much you can do. You don't have control over supply costs, transportation costs, or any of the other various costs that it takes to run a business. Your at the mercy of the business community as a whole.
