Cultural Evolution: Root of the American Class Structure
The debate about racism in America today revolves around achieving diversity. But focusing on diversity means questions of history and power go unasked and unanswered. Without an unflinching understanding of the history of racism in America, and the enduring imbalances of power and wealth, status and privilege, further progress toward racial justice is unlikely..........[more]

According to their interpretation of living the high-class and cultured life, they believe that possessing the knowledge of and practicing the ways of ancient Europe will give them an aura of sophistication and refinement. They steer their lives toward the social circles that flaunt their collective works of Euro-artifacts and who blurt the phrases of notable philosophers, poets, and authors of old.

The establishment of the strong, Black middle-class during the early 60's drove a damaging wedge into the growth of the American-Black nation as a whole. The Civil Rights movements pressed upon lawmakers and political officials to "give Blacks a piece of the America pie" to avoid further protest, boycotts, and race riots.

The ones left behind were the ones trapped in ghettos and dependant on the hand of welfare. Only now are some making a recovery. Afro Solution Afromerica will distinguish between the Black middle-class of today and the Black under-class of today. By the time you are educated by the content here, you will not only know to which class you belong, but you will be prepared to do something to rejoin the two nations of Black-America.
