Trump Threatens Canada ‘Ruination’ on Autos Amid Nafta Talks

The poster I was talking to in this subject claimed blacks die younger because they are poor. He then tried to wiggle out if it by changing that to
Black people are over represented among those living in poverty.

 

Obviously you think enough blacks live in poverty to cause the statistics of early death among blacks and that "fact" skews the statistics of a shorter average lifespan in America than in Canada. Fact is many more whites live in poverty than blacks so your myth is busted.

"New York City — A fact sheet released today by the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) shows that, contrary to some common stereotypes about America’s poor, at least one-third of the 13 million children living in poverty are white.

“Poverty affects children of all colors, contrary to stereotypes. The notion held by many Americans that poverty is not a white problem is simply false,” says Jane Knitzer, EdD, director of NCCP, a research center at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. “The sooner all Americans realize these facts about poverty, the better chance we have of eradicating it.”



The NCCP fact sheet shows that among America’s poor children, 4.2 million are white, 4 million are Latino, 3.6 million are African American, 400,000 are Asian, and 200,000 are American Indian.

Nice tangent
Check out how you translated my quote from over represented to most .
Take the last word please, or not &

 

Yes. White people are nicer, too.

 

Uh huh.

You tell 'em.

 

Okay.

 

Stop digging.

 

Yeah okay, the grave I dug for you is plenty deep, jump in.

 

You keep proving my points by screaming racism at every opportunity but never backing it up. That’s what purveyors of identity politics do. It’s intellectually dishonest.

How far are you into Heather’s book ??

 

Are you okay?

 

Good grief. You can't help yourself.

I said part of the reason blacks die younger than whites in America is that relatively more blacks than whites live in poverty. Did I claim most American blacks live in poverty? No.

Of course, more whites than blacks live in poverty because whites are far more numerous than blacks in America. We won't even get into a race mixing that might further complicate the matter.

Racism still negatively impacts American blacks. If it makes your white butt feel better, I submit there is plenty of black racism, too, but blacks tend to get the worst of it because they're a minority.

Be my guest--keep digging.

 

Just fine. How’s the reading coming ??

 

So you admit more whites than blacks live in poverty in America. That kind of destroys your theory that blacks die younger than whites due to poverty doesn't it. Face facts here. Blacks have certain genetics that lead to early death such as high blood pressure and being prone to diabetes. Add to that a culture that embraces high fat high sugar foods and smoking and you are going to see earlier deaths in that demographic. Add to that the gang violence that kills so many blacks in their teens and it really pulls the average down.

 

Nope. The per capita black poverty rate is higher even though there are more than twice as many poor whites.

The Midwest and South have a lot of poor, unhealthy white folks. Poverty, poor health, and poor education go together.

Their culture is a product of interaction with the dominant white culture.

 

Their present culture is a result of government welfare and crime policies. Read "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" - Thomas Sowell.

 

The next thing you're going to tell us is that white people don't run the government.

You'll do just about anything to blame black people for white racism.

 

When it's about autos you can count on Bulgari... They make the best cars.

This is ^^ is an illustration of the idiocy of identity politics.

How is your reading coming ?? Anything that Dr. Thomas Sowell has written is worth reading. Sadly I doubt that you’ve benefited.

 

Non sequitur.

 

Accurate statement. The entire Democratic party platform (if you could call it that) is based on identity politics. They have no economic growth plan. All they are capable of doing is labeling everyone they disagree with as a racist, sexist, misogynist, .... It's hard to believe that anyone of moderate intelligence actually believes this line of identity politics BS but if the D party can convince minorities to vote against the "racist, sexist, misogynist, ...." R party they will be ahead by this dishonest portrayal of all R's. It does appear that more of these minority voters are catching on to the fact that the D party has no economic plan and that their placement of the welfare of non US citizens above the welfare of minorities results in economic harm. Trump's approval rating among minorities is growing. He received ~ 8% of the black vote in 2016. His approval rating per Rasmussen stands now at ~ 35%.

No status reports on reading ?? Sad.

 

You need some better books.

No, one-third of African Americans don’t support Trump. Not even close.

These data remind us to be skeptical of outlier polls — especially when those results fly in the face of what we already know about African Americans’ weak support for Republican presidents in general and their strong disapproval of Donald Trump in particular.

Rasmussen disagrees.

 

That's why you should read more than one.

 

The one's which predicted a Hillary landslide ??

 

Had you kept up on your reading you would know they were spot on at the end.
