This the oppression of black people as a foundational part of this system remains a vulnerable point of this whole system, even with very real changes in the situation of black people, as part of the larger changes in the society and the world overall, including growth of the middle class among black people, an increase in college graduates and people in higher wages and prestigious professions with a few holding powerful positions within the ruling political structures, even to the extent now of a black president, the situation of black people, and in particular that of millions and millions who are trapped in the oppressive and highly repressive ghettos, remains a very acute and profound contradiction for the american imperialist system as a whole and for its ruling class, something which as the potential to erupt totaly out of the framework in which they can contain it, and something which, at the same time, is a point of very sharp contention and spur to mobilization, not only of potential revolutionary forces but also now of reactionary forces and potential or actual fascist forces.
