Question for people living in USA. (If you are black would like to read what you think)


So when Starr goes to talk on tv she says Khalil had to sell drugs because it is the "ONLY JOB AVAILABLE" for black people. How does this make any sense? And how do you explain the other several million black people with honest jobs in USA then? Why would an educated person like Starr say that? Even the president was black when this was filmed and 99% of the other black people that lived in Starr neighborhood shown in the movie are just regular people with honest jobs.

Victim culture.

Ironically, invented by white liberals.

But is this the dominant narrative in usa today? Or something a really small number of people agree with?

reply

Unless Khalil had a disability preventing him from filling out an application and working its a pretty dumb statement to make.

It's an excuse and a choice.

"How does this make any sense?"

It doesn't. It's pure woke bullshit.
