Hispanic/Black relations, Asian/Black relations, Joe Biden meeting with some 50 Black Civil Rights activists and ranting about how they need to start working with Hispanics.
All the advertising now has blacks in it, but seldom do you see any other minority.
Why? Is "diversity" code for Black? Do we only care about a group we think will riot?
Or is it a money thing? A lot of Marketing publications claim African-Americans outstanding other groups by 4 to 1, they are seen as more lucrative then any other demographic because of their spending habits.
But even that answer doesn't satisfy, because the world is full of sincere people. Like you people, every single one of you reading this hates racists and supports BLM for the highest moral reasons, and you would be the first to condemn greed, insincerity, or corruption. Therefore I have to believe there is a good reason I'm missing that isn't based off opportunism, ambition, or avarice.

Your premise is completely false, and that makes the rest of your line of questioning not make sense. All advertising now has blacks in it, but not other minorities? That's your claim? That's completely untrue.
You are a shining beacon of light in a dreary world. Or is that not brightness but the featureless whitewashing?

America is one giant prison clique fest. Everyone belongs to one gang in the yard. It's not about race although it might seem superficial on the surface, it is about survival.
Seems that way. History was always like that though, but you also had your great philosophers who took on different cliques, and great leaders who got human rights for citizens when no one else in the court wanted it for them.
I keep wondering where our modern Socrates or Caesar Augustus.
Really, I'd just be happy seeing some sign Corporate America hasn't taken over our lives completely. You'd think Chomaky would have a larger co-hort of educated elites fighting the power, but instead it looks like the elites all knuckled under.
