Subsequently, the populations left in the wake of this subjugation are naturally going to have to wrestle with contradictions between white prosperity and non-white impoverishment under a Western paradigm. If you're trying to fit in or even just merely a passive observer, it seems like "common sense" that prosperity is had through right-wing mantras. It's "common sense" that Black people are in the situation they're in is because they're inferior to white people in some way.
You have to develop empathy and a radical sentiment of always questioning the "why" of the world to start leaning towards leftism, which is basically swimming upstream for people who are caught within a Western environment without the educational and psychological tools to deconstruct its basic principles and propaganda.
In short, put an animal in a shitty environment and you're going to get a shitty animal.
