So you argument is African Americans haven’t advanced in American society solely due to their culture. I.E hip hop culture. This is evident because Asian American have the same history of oppression in America and have Achieved upward social mobility.

I would Argue. The unique struggles faced by African Americans throughout American history, ranging from chattel slavery to the present day, have left a lasting impact on their community. The brutality of experiences such as slavery, lack of access to education, Jim Crow segregation, redlining, KKK attacks, and the killing of black leadership have contributed to the distinct challenges faced by African Americans.

The legacy continues with issues like the prison industrial complex, police violence, and the destruction of successful black communities . Economic disparities, including limited access to opportunities like loans and business ventures, further exacerbate the challenges. The overt racism faced by the African American community, both historically and in contemporary times, contributes to the persistence of their struggles.

While acknowledging the hardships faced by other communities, particularly Asian Americans, it's crucial to recognize that each group's experience, traumas, and history are unique. Drawing parallels doesn't diminish the significance of African American struggles; rather, it highlights the need to address each community's distinct challenges. Pointing solely to cultural aspects like hip hop as a cause of socio-economic problems is unfair, as these issues predate the emergence of hip hop and are rooted in historical injustices. It's essential to understand the complexities of the African American experience and address the systemic factors that contribute to their ongoing struggle.

1. Never said music is a sole cause,

2. If you want to believe that systematic racism and unique struggles the African American community faced is more significant than others, we disagree specifically around the last 20/30 years.

I tend to agree with what black leaders like Thomas Sowell, Morgan freeman and Denzel Washington say

It's funny how this thread started and how it actually went down to.

I agree and apologize for that

 

[Sweet you think]

The existence and rise of Asian American would completely negate that argument entirely.

Add the glamorization of hip hop, rap memes ( gangster life) as opposed to the slow build through academic/entrepreneurial excellence is far more prevalent a reason than generational trauma.

You handled that well. Shut him right up..
