I gave you two...the claim that the system is stacked against you...systemic racism and the claim that whites are so racist that they dont even realize it... unconscious racism so therefore you need us the democrats to fight for you. Blacks have been voting as a block for democrats for decades and according to democrats blacks don't seem to be any better off because of it.
McDonalds, The Batchelor, Incredibly explicit song lyrics targeted as kids, white only country clubs, strip clubs, Dunkin’ Donuts, 24 hour news networks, intentionally addictive apps, I can go on for years...
Welfare does not exist.
Beg pardon? Explain yourself!
How so?
Therein is the problem, you believe it is humans job to judge the morality of others, jet Jesus said.... “ let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Your misunderstanding may not be the fault of the person speaking, it may be that you have a prejudice about them and believe that they would be saying something you think would be negative because you assume that is what they will do.
Anyway, if you stop assuming the worst of somebody simply because they hold different political opinions from you it is likely that the "mystery" will be solved by simply being self aware of your prejudice.

The profits those companies generate are not unhealthy to society. Somehow you have gotten things twisted in your head. Let's start with McDonalds. Their profits put young people to work so they can learn a skill and make some money. Now if by unhealthy you mean eating at McDonalds can be unhealthy for you, that's not a consequence of their profits but the unhealthy choice of others. The exact same things is true of all the others. Stop blaming all bad things on other people.
1) I do not claim the system is stacked against me.
2) I do not claim whites are so racist we can’t even realize it.
3) I don’t think unconscious racism causes a need for Democrats to fight for any specific group.
4) Blacks are soo much better off than 50 years ago, but there is a lot more work left to get to equal.
You want me to prove a negative?
Maybe, and to accomplish that, on both sides, discussing, as opposed to using words like “woke” would be the way!
Tried and true tactic. Take something of virtue, tag it in a trope catchword or phrase and make it a cliche insult.
The test is this. Take the trope, convert it into its opposite and see if it's vice.
Isn't it better to woke than asleep to past prejudice or injustice?
Isn't virtue signaling better than vice- signaling?
Punishing people for their virtue with words just underscores our moral superiority if you ask me. Call me woke. Not offended.

So you're black. Then if the system isn't stacked against you then the rest is unnecessary to address. If that's what you actually believe then where you aremin.life is your choice and none else's.
I’m not blaming “all bad things on other people”. I believe that works both ways. There are plenty of unhealthy things that result in profit, and the harm is the fault of both the consumer and the promoter.
This is my problem with them using that word as an insult, exactly. They did the same thing with “elite”.
Is your description an example of trying "to be aware of others, their needs and feelings, and tries to behave in a considerate way toward others.." or are you illustrating a person who is not "woke"?

Yes because I want to tell us that EBT isn't a thing.
