Libs, get a clue.It isn't Whites or racism holding Blacks down.

The past 50 years, you say? What a coincidence, the beginning of the Great Society. Isn't that the real problem? The way it rewards families with more welfare $ if the father is out of the house? Wow! What could go wrong?

Three generations later, look around you. Toxic American culture indeed.

 

Let's say that is so. How has that held Blacks back? My Sister lives next to a Black family and they are very nice people and keep their property up.

Didn't trick me. I know and said earlier in this thread, that drugs was the worst thing to hit this country. There are plenty of Whites in jail for it too.

No it isn't. Not when the numbers are so much higher according to the percentage of the population. When 75-80% of unmarried births is by Blacks, that is unusually high. When Blacks commit more than 50% of major crime when they only make up 13% of the population, that is extreamly high. When they have the second highest school dropout rate, that is high and all make a big impact on how Blacks are able to advance.

 

Is there some reason Blacks want to live next to Whites more than they want to live with their own kind? Usually people are that way. Chinese have their own part of town, Koreans, Irish, Jews, Pols, etc. usually live together. Why don't Blacks want to live near their own kind?

 

That is why I asked him about that exact same time frame. He walked right into that one LOL.

He doesn't want to equate racial issues in this country to politics because he knows the Democrat record sucks. The great society has been an utter failure and deep down he knows that.

 

In a select study in England with selected white control groups (whites on public assistance). US immigrants are also from a select group in Africa often specifically sent here for college, while slaves on the other hand were from groups selected for traits other than intelligence. These 'studies' prove nothing and not relevant to 30 million blacks living in the USA.

Genetics controls a lot, including your brain.

 

Quite a few states pay more than $15.00 an hour in welfare benefits. Wonder why people want to stay on welfare.

Still waiting to hear what the answer is to this question and how White flight has hurt Blacks?

 

I thought americans voted a black president because they are no more racist. How could he possibly have been elected otherwise? Or maybe Obama is just a fake symbol of freedom and equity?

 

Blacks thought that simply living with and going to school with whites would elevate them, they finally learned life is a do-it-yourself job. Desegregation failed of course, so now we get this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Africentric_High_School

and judging by the reviews, it seems like another sad ending
http://www.greatschools.org/ohio/columbus/5181-Columbus-Africentric-Early-College/?tab=reviews
The (Ohio) state average for Math was 75% ..... Africentric tested at 24%

So the white racist taxpayers of Ohio gave blacks their own school to teach exactly how they think black kids should be taught, and funded it at above average levels. http://www.education.com/schoolfind...-africentric-early-college-elementary-school/

What do we get in return for that? more failure and certainly another laundry list of excuses and blaming whites. When will all my fellow non-black americans start to call bull(*)(*)(*)(*) on this crap?

 

White people have more money, they moved OUT of neighborhoods with black people. As the money leaves, the taxes leave with it. Taxes fund schools, do they not?

Look at inner city schools and look at suburban schools. Which one has funding issues?

Above.

 

Your name is showing.

Obama is a symbol of racism in America.

A lot of people voted for Obama because he was black and a lot of people voted against Obama because he wasn't black.

Why don't you just say you dislike blacks? It shows through your posts. They can't get any more ignorant.

Why do you even care about the black community's position in this country anyway?

 

Welfare isn't all that common, despite the political bull(*)(*)(*)(*) surrounding it.

Back on topic.

 

what an amazingly angry OP.

 

Welfare is extremely common. Democrats rely upon it for a huge part of their voting base.

 

Here's one set of stats on welfare:



But on the OTHER hand, we have this.

 

Got to love the part where welfare pays more than a teacher in 8 states. Wonder what states they are?

 

4% of the population on welfare. Republicans make it seem like 40% or... 47%.

Oh please.. misleading bullcrap. A woman on welfare with 8 kids counts as 9 welfare recipients.

Enlightened me.

Why do people care?

I find it hard to believe people on welfare are banking more than people on full-time jobs. I know single mothers often abuse it because of the astronomical costs of day care.. but I know most of the population isn't sitting at home collecting welfare checks and driving around in Cadillacs like Reagan wants you to believe.

 

Aren't they, though? IIRC, the more kids someone has, the more Welfare is paying them.

Nevertheless, those stats of people banking a lot more than minimum wage ultimately came from the gov't itself, so you'd be hard-pressed to deny it. Heck, why WOULD you leave the gravy train in those states for a minimum wage job when it pays as well as it is?

 

Good, we are in agreement.

Well, consider the welfare recipient - A single mother with out of wedlock children. What options does she have? Day care runs well over $1,000 / month. Add in the cost of rent and commuting.. how does she support her children? What is your plan for her and her children?

 

If she has a third job now she has to hire a babysitter because she is working after day care hours. Now she needs a fourth job to pay the babysitter as well.

When does she find time to actually raise her children? Do you get the pattern?

 

I use real life examples and real data, you don't, and then you claim I'm the ignorant one. Amazing, and that is precisely why your side will never have any real world solutions.

 

I'm black. I have more real world examples and data about the black community than YOU EVER WILL.

Don't go there with me. I suggest you run along.

I hope you keep your racism contained in public.

 

Ah, welfare. That old chestnut.

Negative flat income tax. Axe what exists now.

Done. Everyone is happy except the extremists. Moving on.
