"society with HIGH WEALTH inequality"......the standout phrase that Malcolm was referencing....

Rick wrote: Could we consider people who've been jailed for over a year for just trespassing in the capital building with no evidence of colluding to overthrow the government as being oppressed?

How about a young adult denied admission to a college because he or she is Asian or white? (also using that standard for job hires)

Who exactly would Malcom X consider to be the oppressors and the oppressed in 2022 if he was still alive? I'd love to hear that question answered.

The ONE PERCENT would certainly NOT be the oppressed......

one-percenter (plural one-percenters) A member of the top one percent of a population by wealth, ability, etc. ( same as the ninety-ninth percentile), especially in a society with high wealth inequality.

I would agree with the bolded statement, but then are you saying that the 99% are oppressed? If you are saying that, then you are 100% incorrect. Being oppressed has nothing to do with income, it means that a person or group that are victims of prolonged cruel or unjust treatment. You could also say that a person who is controlled by a person or government is oppressed. I could decide to stop working and spend all I have on drugs and end up in a ditch, but I would not be oppressed.

I would say that most of the people still locked up for the Jan 6th riot are more oppressed than someone who makes their living looting stores and mugging strangers yet is considered to be 'poor'.

There is definitely a history of oppression in this country like there is in pretty much every country on the planet, but that is HISTORY. Real oppression in 2022 exists in countries like China, but our leaders and many sports heroes don't care much about that oppression because they benefit from it.

Now, who in America is oppressed, today?

FACTS do not cease to exist because they r ignored.....Aldous Huxley

I'm pretty sure that Captain Obvious was the first to make that quote. One must first know which alleged facts we are talking about.

education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to THINK....Albert Enstein

it's not a quote,but rather an idea put to music......

Which is why you should consume news from the left and from the right as I do, then you can be free of pure indoctrination. I know every left wing talking point concerning every issue because I always look to see the left’s narrative before I look to see what the right has to say. There is no middle btw, it’s left news or it’s right news, period.

In agreement,BUT can u name those R's that did not follow the doctrine of Trump and what was the ramifications of that decision??(HINT....REVENGE WAS THE RESULT) Do u not see the TRUE TRUMP and his tirade of treachery?

I see none of that because what you say is untrue… you’re parroting your worthless media that has gotten everything wrong for 6 years.

THEN GIVE ME A SOURCE TO DISPROVE MY POST.......the continuing and constant denial is worthless, UNLESS u can back up your statements.
