And f'k Marxism, a white European invention! Karl Marx was financially supported by rich relatives while writing his abstract nonsense. Class issues dilute black issues. People of color is a social construct that distracts from seriously dealing with the benign neglect of blacks with earned benefits.

Hispanics and Asians are technically covered by the first 12 amendments of the Constitution. They weren't codified as 3/5 of a person in the first constitution. Now, they're your buffer groups to water down legitimate black grievances. I'm talking about black capitalism and more autonomy. Not absolute subordination to a false superior race built on sand. Read "Cracker Culture---Celtic Ways of the Old South" by Grady Whiney.

Article 1. Section 2. The "Three-Fifths Clause""Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons." This is the transcript. "free persons" included free black people. Which there were free black people at the time of the enactment of the constitution.... and also black slave owners... I am sure you know this. "other persons" referred to enslaved persons. I do believe that it was a northern abolitionist who wanted enslaved people to equal 0. The reasoning was that counting enslaved people 1 to 1 for representation would mean those States with the greater slave population, and eventually fought to keep the institution of slavery alive, would have more representation in the congress and therefore have more power to make laws, including laws to codify slavery. So, the compromise was that for representative purposes enslaved people would count towards representation as 3 people for every 5.

What a pile of nonsensical hyperbole. This is the kind of identity based political gibberish I'm seeking to escape.

You're an old, obsolete white man who failed to take advantage of the 400-year-old white affirmative/head start programs. You made very poor decisions and now subsist on social security income or still a corporate slave. Now, you're angry at black folks who are passing you by. Your fragile nervous system has cracked under pressure. Lol!!!!
