Cultural Evolution: Root of the American Class Structure


Of all the flawed Western scientific theories, Social Darwinism is one laced with Euro-egotism, upheld to-date by the American capitalist culture by which society is divided in proportion to class. Drawn from Darwin's initial theory of Natural Selection - the study of how living species evolve to adapt to their changing environments - Cultural Evolution, correspondingly, suggest there is a human form of evolution that determines individual success in a given society.......[more]



poverty (2K)Black America's War on Poverty - Part 1:
Exposing and Overcoming the Untruth of Equal Opportunity


The concept of equal opportunity for all people in America is a lie and Afromerica will prove it. The class system that fuels American capitalism cannot work productively based on the so-called claim to equality because capitalism is based on a formula that depends on the labors of the many to increase the riches of the few, and Black America suffers the most.......[more]



America Widens Dissension Between Classes


The study below entitled "Uninsured cost insured $900 more," is nothing more than preparation for more contempt and oppression of America's poor and under-class; by implanting into the minds of certain "elitist-thinking" insured workers that they are "carrying" the poor on their backs.........[more]



Justice Entails Ending White Privilege
By Kendall Clark

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]



Credentials, Privilege, and Personal Merit

The springboard to a class society begins with partitioning people based on credentials earned from accredited universities, which are more than often earned by the people who are privileged enough to afford university cost. A simple strategy that keeps the rich separated from the poor and the elite from the underclass.........[more]



england (2K)Euro-Culture Envy

Euro-Culture Envy is the practice of Blacks who indoctrinate themselves in the cultural concepts and ideas of historical and ancient Europe. 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. But they have no knowledge of where they come from or even care. This is Euro-envy, and might it be absolutely defined as the label of self-hatred........[more]




classtruct (4K)American Class Structure


American society is grouped into social class structures, which define who we are in America and how we stand as citizens. The classes are divided into three basic categories, the Privileged Class, the Majority Class, and the Lower Class.......[more]




city (2K)Afro-Economics


The future of the black economic and political condition, rest in the hands of Afro-American leaders and achievers. There is no longer a blatant plot to hinder or discourage opportunity in this country; we are free to accomplish whatever goals we choose. What suppresses Afro-American prosperity is grouping among the race and the division is widening each day......[more]



The Gatekeepers of Cultural Ethics


culture (1K)We know when, but how did the tattoo become such a cultural trend in America. More kids, parents, and some grandparents even, have now been branded by the new era of body art. Likewise, products such as the SUV and the cell-phone have carved a trend into American society, and certain words and phrases make their way into and out of the mouths of teens on up to the hipster middle-aged, words like "Yo", and "Recognize", and phrases like "You don't know?" and "Been there." These are cultural trends and passing fads that have shaped American lifestyle because they bring about "attitude." However, the ethical culture of America does not go without being affected also......[more]



Black Elitist

The term "Self-Hatred" seems to be a popular term in the vocabulary of Black intellectuals. The term is suppose to describe how some Blacks feel about themselves, those who have forsaken their heritage and have concealed their identity behind the identity of the white culture. The Black elitist have began labeling mostly all Blacks as "self-hating" and have themselves prescribed a remedy to overcome this awful image of Blacks and self. However, it was they - the Black Elitist - who invented this word and labeled the masses with it, but it is they who suffer from it if anyone does......[more]



Long Live Inequality

In 1899, blacks owned 1% of all American wealth. In 1999, blacks owned 1% of all American wealth. This is an economic fact and a reality. Blacks remain economically disenfranchised in this here land of opportunity....[more]



Classism

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. So a portion (a very small portion) of American wealth was shared out to certain Blacks, leaving the rest to fend for themselves. 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.
