White American Gen Z and millennials. I’m going to explain to you. Something your grandparents will never tell you. I’m going to explain to you. Why America is now weak and why China is becoming the worlds dominant power. China had no technology, it was poor and basically undeveloped. It was white Americans who opened the doors for China. BUT WHY??? It was never in the white mans interest to awaken the great dragon. Historically, white Americans would always go against their own best interests. As long as it negatively effected Black Americans. The HATE FOR BLACK AMERICANS is the root. To the self destruction of America. Read this carefully. Whites Americans had strict all white immigration policies before 65. When Black Americans won civil rights in this country. That all changed. Here’s where it becomes deep. White Americans, rather than allow. Black Americans to have their fare share. Took manufacturing out of the cities(where black Americans were becoming the dominant populations) sent them to China(back door deal). Then flooded the Black communities with immigrants. To create a buffer class and buy up the self reliant(at the time). Black American communities economically. Remind you, this time. Prior to the all white mass immigration of the late 1800s. They had to USE NON WHITE IMMIGRANTS this time. They understood Black Americans would never go for the all white immigrant buffer class again. Which totally threw Black Americans off, because we accepted these non white immigrants. Civil rights, affirmative action, 14th Amendment etc we’re all supposed to be for the CHILDREN OF AMERICAN SLAVES. Not for every immigrant. That illegally pours into this country. The Nixon administration. Charged the civil rights language; to so called minorities. Now the entire world, can come into America, and claim it as theirs. Creating an entire new American way of life. All done in the name of cutting out Black Americans. Thing is, white Americans thought everyone would go along with it(which they do), but the great dragon had way more ambition. It’s has backfired on white Americans ten fold. The Chinese were NEVER YOUR FRIENDS. You opened your economy to them and they reversed engineered all of your technology. Infiltrated the entire society and now even own the president of the US in the open. A military general at the pentagon. Was caught giving information to the Chinese about trump. HE STILL WORKING. You can’t make this up. Now America has been sold to the highest bidder. Young white Americans are looking at their country change before their eyes, but don’t know the root. It also goes a lot deeper than that, but that is as small as the nutshell I could make. The hate for the Black American(FBA) is what has ultimately caused the destruction of America. That’s the truth and the only way to get it back. Is to do right by the Black American(FBA). Notice, I’m not talking about all Blacks. America owes no other groups and it needs to start acting like that again if you want it back.

Andrew was absolutely spot on about the downfall of cities. If we live in a country now where everyone has to spend their money only for "the greater good," you just might have the answer to why we're failing as a country. The "working class" isn't entitled to the product of my labor, and I will never be entitled to the product of someone else's labor just because my skills suddenly don't matter. The "class struggle" is destructive Marxist narratives and nothing more

[@joesteel7409]

As an Englishman, I'll give my input here, a confident and arrogant nation is a double edged sword. We are taught that the empire is over in public schools, but close ties with former empire countries like Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Sometimes feeds the notion to some that we are still a powerful global empire, but the truth is we are just one strong country one among strong allies. I will say we do have a somewhat nasty racist atmosphere in England, but the rest of the UK is better in that regard. Our main problem is the class divide, we still have an aristocracy, lords and lady's, the rich and the poor, and the rich have always ruled, even now with the right wing tories , they serve the rich only, yet the poor still vote for them. Also corruption is running rampant in the government, and the UK is on the brink of breaking up, with Scotland wanting out and to rejoin the EU and Northern Ireland talking about reunifying with the Republic. So England would lose the strength of its British allies to some regard. Its a lovey place to live, and with a rich history, both dark and heroic, it definitely has a prideful people, and the good and bad that comes with that. But we are definitely taught that the empire is over, at least in my experience.
