And there isn't anything controversial about it... except the actual racists (lefties) will assume he's talking about black people, erm, I mean People of Color, and say he is a racist.
He is talking about blacks. We all k on it and its true and not racist to point it out. As black leaders are Part of the problem and hoodwinked the people into slavery for a vote
Even calling black people 'oppressed' all the time.
Black people are completely equal to every other American without a second thought. That's so messed up the left runs around calling them basically 'lower' all the time.
And where is she going to hold it? Bloomingdale isn’t that large. Maybe on US 80, but people will just ignore it. It will look no different than a school car wash.
In NC, the parent/guardian of every child enrolled in school will receive $370 in food stamps per month for two months!
North Carolina has been approved for the new Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program. This program will provide extra help buying groceries for the families of the more than 800,000 children who normally receive free and reduced lunch at school.
Families will receive approximately $370 in total P-EBT benefits per child, provided over two installments. Families can use the P-EBT benefit to purchase food items at EBT authorized retailers, including most major grocery stores. Unused benefits will rollover month-to-month and must be used within 365 days.
Families do not need to apply for the P-EBT program. P-EBT eligible families currently receiving Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) benefits received an additional benefit on their existing Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card.
I used to work managing some section 8 housing. They don't even respect all the shit they are given, they routinely trash the place such that a year after everything has been refinished, you'd think the place hadn't been cleaned in a century.... There's a lot I love about New England and this City, it's where I was raised, but damn I cannot wait to get out.
No to Florida and to Louisiana. Florida isn't the South except a small part of the panhandle. The rest is batshit crazy. South Carolina or Georgia coast, or north Georgia mountains.
People don’t appreciate things that they did not earn. It’s why a lot of rich kids are coked up idiots that crash their Lambos, and it’s one of the reasons that “urban communities” are in the state that they are in.
Yep. My friend owns a sec-8 house and the person in it keep selling the refrigerator then claims it broke.. so he let her sit for a while without one. Plus he upped the rent so she has to pay $25. a month. Make her pay something!
A friend of mine had some, and he said he got a call about a broken door in the house, door was off the hinges, so he fixed it. Got a call from the same tenants about a broken door less than a month later; his quote was "I guess they like not having doors, so I waited a while to fix that one."
He got approval and she has to pay $25.00 a month. He let her feel the pain.. bought a new one and she didn't do that again. Kek good idea on the crappy replacement.
I like how you say you "used to manage section 8" . I got the same background, no one who has options does it for too long, or you will lose your sanity.
Yep. My aunt and uncle bought a condo in Assembly Square. Really nice place, the area is quickly turning into a dump though. But they pay 3k a month for it, and in the same building with the same condos are low income families getting them for a lot cheaper. It’s fucked up.
That is basically what “affordable housing” is currently. If anyone knows about the Projects they used to have in Chicago before they demolished them, you can’t just put thousands of low income housing units in one building and fill them with people. It got so bad police would not respond to the building as it was too dangerous. The high rises were next to each other and gang members would shoot AK’s between buildings at each other. So they tore them down.
That’s why they now mix low income with regular housing, to thin out the crime. Except they also figured out how to spend less on it by giving heavily discounted housing to some and having the rest subsidize it. In my town we have one of these mixed units and low income residents pay 1/4 what everyone else does, a different of over $2,250
With the schools all closed all these welfare kids are having free school breakfasts and lunches DELIVERED to their neighborhoods. Excuse me what the fuck. When did "public schooling" become yet another charity arm of the welfare state?
They are doing the same thing in our school district here in Oregon. Taxpayers are now footing the bill to feed other people's kids. It's completely fucked.
No, the Constitution of Clown World is written entirely in Crayola on the back of a Starbucks menu and live-streamed on an IPhone by kids whose parents make $200,000+/year. It begins, “We, the oppressed minorities of Clown World, seek to establish more gibs. All women/gender non-binary, trans, queer, other kin, furniture sexual beings of black, Mexican, Korean, communist, Native American, Muslim, Palestinian, and ethnically-unspecified comrades deserve the right to take your life, your stuff, and pursue you for our happiness.”
Right? I read it twice to make sure I wasn't missing it. I don't get how a normal person can read that and then see people calling him racist as not being the real racists. It blows my mind.
It is the Bigotry of Low Expectation. Democrats see that welfare is being mentioned? Well immediately they think Black People because they couldn’t possibly be working!
Everyone knows which race it is because IT IS THE TRUTH. What other culture in this country is all about J's/Sneakers over paying child support? What other culture will kill you over a pair of sneakers or a dime bag of weed?
When it comes to this culture, everyone has to play dumb like they don't know exactly how problematic it is. You bet your ass that the ones who play dumb make sure they don't live anywhere near a neighborhood that's predominantly of this group.
Their message is not more important than anyone else's. They can't even articulate what they actually do want. It sure isn't jobs. It can't be respect, because that has to be earned... every time.
Actually they articulate it very well. Leaders of the group have prepared "mission statements" of sorts, and they're horrific. Communism blended with racism.
A few years ago, there was a video of a burgular's family being upset about the homeowner shooting the intruder and said, "HOW ELSE IS HE GONNA GET HIS MONEY?"

Violent crimes are committed by males age 16 - 45. How many are alive outside of that age group? Half? We don't know exactly, so we can't be solid on this number, but a LOT are 15 and younger. And older than 45.
Representation per capita per race? Love to see those numbers!
If 90% of a race making up 15% total population is on it, and 5% of a second race making up 55% of the population is on it, can we compare the two race based participation and ask why there is a difference?
I quick search revealed that in 1996 (yeah, 25 years ago but I don't have the inclination to look for more recent data) about 10% of the White population and almost 40% of the Black population were on welfare.
Well, it sounds like if we want to reach the perfect level of racial equality, we need to put more whites on welfare. I am starting to understand the Dems now!
No, 13/53 is total pop representation. He is correcting me (which is fine, I was generalizing knowing they were incorrect just to get the argument out there).
Largely goes along with poverty, plenty of poor whites but proportionally last data points I've seen have been higher for black people per capita... but even that gets complicated when you consider African American descendants of slaves are groups into the same stat blocks as Somali immigrants.
You are not living in reality. I have worked in these communities, and it has become a generational way of life. They don't expect or desire anything different from their children. They expect the sons to bee drug dealers and the girls are going to be single mothers collecting welfare.
There idea of a better life for their children, is more government handouts.
There are some exceptions. I had one tenant, single mother of three, who when welfare reform was instituted about a decade ago, She went to nursing school (part of welfare reform, was to assist with schooling/job development).
She became an RN, which can make a very decent salary, and her children have a future. She earned my highest respect. But now, somehow, welfare reform is bad.
You seem to be reading things I'm not saying? My comment about it going largely along poverty lines is accurate, plenty of poor white people on foodstamps is reality.
I've lived in uban centers with plenty of black on black crime and I've also lived/worked in rural places near tribal rez land, I totally get the fucked culture of communities that basically only survive off the government handouts and crime.
Nothing you said particularly clashes with anything I wrote and I even generally agree. I personally would say those shitty views are held by too many people and are pushed by media/popculture/selfish ignorant people but in no way is that the entire black community, just like methhead trailer parks white trash are not the entire white community... but whatever you're entitled to your own opinion even if it does color millions of people in a very broad brush.
Sure, but I don't want to ignore the fact that there are a lot of white people refusing to work as well. When I was watching the riots in Atlanta, on TV and on livestream, there were about half non-black (not all white, not trying to get into that fight, but some). So I don't want to ignore the enemies in my community being too busy focused on the other.
College kids who are out of school. That is the other elephant in the room destroying the country. Colleges are no longer institutes of higher education. but institutes of leftist indoctrination
I had a tenant experience with someone milking the system. Their son ended up living there and breaking into my apt multiple times. Race had nothing to do with being horrible people.
Well, technically you are dealing with probabilities and tendencies when it comes to races. At the end the individual matters.
Imagine you have 2 good muslim friends you know for ages, who are just good people. Do you trust 1000 other muslims coming to your town to be like them? Or rather match the statistical reality, which I guess we can agree upon is rather dire?
This is at large the general issue with collectives vs individuals. I know people who are intelligent, smart and reasonable from bad countries. I don't let my personal bias get in the way to shroud my view about their countries. I don't give in to pretend I have yet to judge every single person and therefore I am forced to ignore statistics and collective traits for the sake of being... being what actually?
I am an Individualist by principle, but I am not blind to ignore facts over it. Individualism means to adhere to reality over theory. People carry their collective traits with them - just as you do. I am a white person and as such I share attributes common among white people. I am also Hungarian and share values common among Hungarians. I am male and share values common among males. That is a statistical reality. However, I could totally deviate from some of my "identities", and that is variance we can expect with most people.
At the base level I expect people to behave based on their identities due to necessary ignorance about the individuals - it's a low resolution image, which is preferable to NO image at all (because people are not just results of total randomness) - until I can examine them individually. The image gets more clear, the individual surfaces. If I also talk to the person, my image becomes even clearer about them.
Do I consider stereotypes to be useful? Yes.
Do I assume deviations from stereotypes are the exception? No. That's what makes people human, more than just numbers and groups. Dehumanization occurs when we ignore or surpass individuality from people.
The low resolution image may be inaccurate, but it is still useful.
For example that Mexican trucker got fired for having made the ok-symbol with his hand accidentally (aka white supremacists sign, because we live in clown world). The people who came after him do not care the slightest about who he was. All they saw was that he had a white skin color, looked like a working class person, and made a hand gesture they forbade. That's enough information for them, they don't even want to know more, they even rely on ignorance - boom, guilty. Nobody asked him anything. That is Collectivism in action.
Raw numbers wise, there are probably more whites doing this than any other race. And they should be called out for it, as should every other person doing so.
Social programs might legitimately help many people, but by their nature they are designed for people to game the system. I would daresay that a majority of the people on them are fraudsters. But don't hate the player, hate the game
I've always thought the social programs are more than adequate to solve most of societies problems but nobody cares enough to take a year and clean them up - sort out whatever corruption, steam line them and make them more effective/efficient each year..
JUST LIKE CHARITIES NEED SERIOUS AUDITING. "FIND THE CURE" researchers included.
There is an entire cottage industry around them. And a vested interest not only in the electoral base, but also the government jobs to "adjudicate/award" them.
It would actually probably be cheaper money-wise to just give them out upon application rather than set up a system to investigate it. That's cheaper money-wise, but not the cost to society as a whole.
There is virtually zero chance that this will be reformed, at least under the current system.
The Democrats don't want it limited to race, they want as many people as possible dependent on the government. However, so far, they have been more successful with certain races than others
the logic is always everything is racism and racism is always "fuck white people"
everything. the game is to fit as much as possible under that umbrella, no matter what was actually said or done
Son of a bitch. I'm sick of people telling the truth and then showing remorse for doing so. Say it how it is and tell them to eat shit when they complain.
Has he apologized, or was it deleted by facebook? I was going to try and find a contact address for his office and thank him for speaking out, but if he's gone back then I sure as hell won't.
Many commentors above you are also saying the same thing. Maybe you can contact him, just instead of thanking him for making a stand that our Nation is at stake here and giving any inch ... or however you want to do it.
There's a great quote in there. It might be better if somebody spit it out intact: something about if they people ever discover we can vote ourselves money, the republic is doomed.
Take away their privilege to vote (it's not and has never been a right.) If you're taking out of the system more than you're putting in, why should you have a say in how the system is run? Why should you be able to vote to give yourself more benefits to do nothing?
You know I think something along these lines is needed, but more: some quiz about every vote you want to cast, that just insures you have some basic idea where they stand on certain issues. Of course this assumes electronic ballots, and we want to encourage paper ballots so maybe this isn't doable
Just create some rampant inflation first so 100k is worth maybe 1/3 its current value but still has a psychological pull. Then we tax all the remittances to Africa and Mexico hard to repay everything!
The truth shouldn't be controversial but in the world of the left, it is. That's all a fact. There's an abundance of black privilege in this country- privilege of shit being given to you that you did not earn, being propped up by everyone else, having the bar lowered for you, housing/school paid for, mandated race admissions, etc.
I watched a black kid last year spend over $80 on Gatorade and bags of candy with an EBT card. Eff this system.
Then that's not freedom of speech. Nor is it a free Country any longer. We've all been talking about taking it BACK since the 80's, it's time for action
True.
When my kids asked for expensive shoes, cause their classmates have them, I told them that those kids probably have the poorest parents.
I hit it home when I showed them exactly where a couple of their friends live.
A public teacher friend of mine said some of his students will have the newest phones & most expensive sneakers and not one damn pencil, piece of paper or binder when they come to school. He raids the “general supply “ closet on the regular so those kids have no excuses.
I can still hear it, the kid with $200 sneakers, all designer clothes, 3 chains around his neck, "Let me borrow a puncil". Meanwhile me in my shoes with holes in them and 2nd hand thrift store outfit, all the supplies I needed. In high school I stopped carrying a backpack because it was so rampant and I got tired of arguing with them. I'd carry my notebook, textbook, and a pen in my pocket, fuck off I ain't got no puncil.
Does this not exist? Yeah, no shit, it's not all blacks, but it is a stark reminder about how those impoverished in the US have all the government resources they need.
FCC and cable companies have obamaphone and other programs for free internet
My sneakers are over a year old, and the bottoms are worn smooth and peeling off. I keep putting off buying a new pair because money is tight. The government decided I can afford to pay hundreds a week in taxes, but I need to save so I can buy shoes. And I buy the $60 Chinese sweatshop bullshit.
This is not controversial. This is just simply telling the truth. The amount of priviledge these people have is unbelievable. I've been working a regular job since I was 13 years old. I have to earn a better life. Something is wrong when you are coddled so extremely that you become a hateful, bigotted, supremacist, abusive ghetto dweller and you still complain that you dont have enough. Its pathetic and shocking. The amount of hatred flowing from these freeloaders in almost inmeasurable. While at the same time kids you have went to college are being passed over for low skilled workers from HB1 visas and left with massive debt and most are called "privledged". My wife worked 2 jobs while she was putting herself through college. She was the only one out of her groups of friends there that wasnt getting a free ride. She also was the only white one out of her group of friends interestingly.
They are going to call it racist, despite it describing welfare queens of all colors. I worked at a grocery store and seen all of this in one family, driving an H2, with $1,000 in food stamps and another $1,000 in cash aid, 4 teen kids out of school dressed in designer clothes with iPhones...
Not so poor that I'm entitled to any of this free shit, but just poor enough that I could never afford to pay for it out of my own pocket.
I've never been on unemployment, never got food stamps, no welfare of any kind.
But I am the guy that has to clip coupons, delay purchases, and be thrifty and spartan.
So what's the solution? I do without.
Now most things I'm fine doing without, but somethings actually hurt to not have.
My partner just turned 31, and we are now worried if we will ever be able to have kids for all of the reasons listed above.
It's a infuriating situation when at present, if we continue to work we can't afford to have children (something she want's tremendously) - but we know damn well that if we just 'gave up' and became total welfare pieces of shit we could objectively have better lives on someone else's dime. Doubly so because a good portion of why we can't afford the things we need, is we are paying so that others can enjoy them.
Oh they’ll be coming for him. FSM posting articles already. They aren’t saying this one raciss, but that he posted raciss stuff in the past, so they can put racism in the headline.
Holy shit if these numbers are true, you can't run a country like that. This is exactly what the globohomos want, for everybody to know we can never pay the national debt off it's hopeless. That's when they take everything.
We are here. (Although those numbers should be challenged. GDP vs national debt is a good way to start)
When is the truth controversial?......oh wait a minute. It's the real truth not the lefts "truth."
I had a job several years ago that sometimes took me into section 8. Oh the horrors. The one that made me the angriest though is the shitbird that had an entire wall full of his Jordan shoe collection. WTF? No joke Floor to ceiling of Jordans yet the house was trashed and smelled of filth.
Makes sense to me. Mayor got it right.
Need to support this guy because the reee police will try to cancel him!
Expecting to read about his resignation somewhere in these comments.
I'd totally vote for this mayor.
And there isn't anything controversial about it... except the actual racists (lefties) will assume he's talking about black people, erm, I mean People of Color, and say he is a racist.
cf. Biden's comment about poor kids and white kids.
It ain't just black people.
Agreed
He is talking about blacks. We all k on it and its true and not racist to point it out. As black leaders are Part of the problem and hoodwinked the people into slavery for a vote
Even calling black people 'oppressed' all the time.
Black people are completely equal to every other American without a second thought. That's so messed up the left runs around calling them basically 'lower' all the time.
Hannah. Hannah Minter.
You could not have said a more Karen name if you'd have said Karen Karinn.
And where is she going to hold it? Bloomingdale isn’t that large. Maybe on US 80, but people will just ignore it. It will look no different than a school car wash.
Or an apology. He better not. People need to embrace the truth and never back down.
It’s happened
Facts are racist
Shit, that was my comment right when I came in... Didn't see yours, but I 100% agree! He will be cancelled by the media and BLM.
Fuck that. Run him for 2024!
Ben Rozier 2024.
I am now going to sing reee police along to the music of dream police. kek
“The reeee police, they come and reee on the web!”
itsa hit!
When we didnt riot to stop it. Apparently breaking shit is the only way to get the government to realize that we exist.
You'd think personal pride would set in at some point but not for this group.
Zero chance. And that is the major crux of the issue.

No to Florida and to Louisiana. Florida isn't the South except a small part of the panhandle. The rest is batshit crazy. South Carolina or Georgia coast, or north Georgia mountains.
East Texas might work, near the LA border. Lower sales tax than LA and no State income tax. Can find plenty of land and ponds.

People don’t appreciate things that they did not earn. It’s why a lot of rich kids are coked up idiots that crash their Lambos, and it’s one of the reasons that “urban communities” are in the state that they are in.
This is truth. It can be the same either way, rich or poor.
Yep. My friend owns a sec-8 house and the person in it keep selling the refrigerator then claims it broke.. so he let her sit for a while without one. Plus he upped the rent so she has to pay $25. a month. Make her pay something!

You can't up the rent on Section 8 without HUD's approval. HUD determines the percentage the renter has to pay if anything.
If they sell the fridge, he does not have to replace it. He can send them a bill.
There is also a simple solution, if they sell the fridge, but them a crappier used one to replace it.
HUD is strict on their rules for section 8, for sure
He got approval and she has to pay $25.00 a month. He let her feel the pain.. bought a new one and she didn't do that again. Kek good idea on the crappy replacement.
I like how you say you "used to manage section 8" . I got the same background, no one who has options does it for too long, or you will lose your sanity.

Diversity is the best, folks!
So this is obviously reason to riot for muh reparations and free College based on the color of your skin, because that's not racist at all.
Did you live in Chicago through this era? Do you know how long people lived in those buildings before they got torn down?
They are doing the same thing in our school district here in Oregon. Taxpayers are now footing the bill to feed other people's kids. It's completely fucked.
Of course not. They are entitled. They feel everyone owes them something and have no respect.
Read up, and learn why the reckoning is inevitable: The Cost of Black (and hispanic) America
Ain't nothing controversial about that.... oh ya I forgot in clown world we hate the truth.
Ain't that a fa..oh wait they hate those too
"Hate Facts"
facts are racist
It's only controversial because it's racist. By racist I mean, liberals think those said on the post only apply to brown and black people.
I think you need some data to back up that assertion.
I thought this was the Constitution of Clown World. The bill of rights part anyway.
No, the Constitution of Clown World is written entirely in Crayola on the back of a Starbucks menu and live-streamed on an IPhone by kids whose parents make $200,000+/year. It begins, “We, the oppressed minorities of Clown World, seek to establish more gibs. All women/gender non-binary, trans, queer, other kin, furniture sexual beings of black, Mexican, Korean, communist, Native American, Muslim, Palestinian, and ethnically-unspecified comrades deserve the right to take your life, your stuff, and pursue you for our happiness.”
In an age of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Irony:
He didn't mention "race" one time, but everyone who wants to get him fired thinks they know which race he is talking about.
Projection racism is a real problem.
Right? I read it twice to make sure I wasn't missing it. I don't get how a normal person can read that and then see people calling him racist as not being the real racists. It blows my mind.
It is the Bigotry of Low Expectation. Democrats see that welfare is being mentioned? Well immediately they think Black People because they couldn’t possibly be working!
Most of the welfare queens in my area are white
Everyone knows which race it is because IT IS THE TRUTH. What other culture in this country is all about J's/Sneakers over paying child support? What other culture will kill you over a pair of sneakers or a dime bag of weed?
When it comes to this culture, everyone has to play dumb like they don't know exactly how problematic it is. You bet your ass that the ones who play dumb make sure they don't live anywhere near a neighborhood that's predominantly of this group.
Their message is not more important than anyone else's. They can't even articulate what they actually do want. It sure isn't jobs. It can't be respect, because that has to be earned... every time.
Actually they articulate it very well. Leaders of the group have prepared "mission statements" of sorts, and they're horrific. Communism blended with racism.
They want what we have, except for our jobs.
More than that, it's mostly the males committing violent crimes, so it's more like 7/53
HE DINDU NUFFIN
HE WAS GOING TO COLLEGE!
... night school.. Some day.
In their minds, dealing drugs, felony assaults, etc. are no big deal, so they really believe he was a "good boy"
A few years ago, there was a video of a burgular's family being upset about the homeowner shooting the intruder and said, "HOW ELSE IS HE GONNA GET HIS MONEY?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZGSQXmJPaQ
I think it's more like 4.5/53
1/2 are female so it's 6.5%
Violent crimes are committed by males age 16 - 45. How many are alive outside of that age group? Half? We don't know exactly, so we can't be solid on this number, but a LOT are 15 and younger. And older than 45.
And their leaders want to keep it this way... there's a huge effort to keep blacks down so they can be used as pawns.
And they are turning their pawns into cannon fodder
I agree 100% and feel horrible for the upstanding members of society who are black that have to deal with this stigma.
You're point is solutions oriented, accounting for the fact that people can change. I like that
Reeeeeee dog whistle
More white people are on those programs than anyone.
Representation per capita per race? Love to see those numbers!

Well, it sounds like if we want to reach the perfect level of racial equality, we need to put more whites on welfare. I am starting to understand the Dems now!
Hey the more people beholden to big daddy government the better, in their eyes.
Thanks, I don't have the numbers memorized, but apparently close enough.
He was referring to something else
No, 13/53 is total pop representation. He is correcting me (which is fine, I was generalizing knowing they were incorrect just to get the argument out there).
He's referring to violent crime: 53% of that is committed by 13% of the population. You were talking about welfare
Largely goes along with poverty, plenty of poor whites but proportionally last data points I've seen have been higher for black people per capita... but even that gets complicated when you consider African American descendants of slaves are groups into the same stat blocks as Somali immigrants.
You are not living in reality. I have worked in these communities, and it has become a generational way of life. They don't expect or desire anything different from their children. They expect the sons to bee drug dealers and the girls are going to be single mothers collecting welfare.

There are some exceptions. I had one tenant, single mother of three, who when welfare reform was instituted about a decade ago, She went to nursing school (part of welfare reform, was to assist with schooling/job development).
She became an RN, which can make a very decent salary, and her children have a future. She earned my highest respect. But now, somehow, welfare reform is bad.
You seem to be reading things I'm not saying? My comment about it going largely along poverty lines is accurate, plenty of poor white people on foodstamps is reality.
I've lived in uban centers with plenty of black on black crime and I've also lived/worked in rural places near tribal rez land, I totally get the fucked culture of communities that basically only survive off the government handouts and crime.
Nothing you said particularly clashes with anything I wrote and I even generally agree. I personally would say those shitty views are held by too many people and are pushed by media/popculture/selfish ignorant people but in no way is that the entire black community, just like methhead trailer parks white trash are not the entire white community... but whatever you're entitled to your own opinion even if it does color millions of people in a very broad brush.
Sure, but I don't want to ignore the fact that there are a lot of white people refusing to work as well. When I was watching the riots in Atlanta, on TV and on livestream, there were about half non-black (not all white, not trying to get into that fight, but some). So I don't want to ignore the enemies in my community being too busy focused on the other.
College kids who are out of school. That is the other elephant in the room destroying the country. Colleges are no longer institutes of higher education. but institutes of leftist indoctrination
PC instinct has entered the chat.
He's talking about the Democrat race.
This is so apt. Which mayor is this? Is the mayor getting into trouble for speaking this truth?
https://www.newsweek.com/bloomingdale-mayor-previously-accused-racism-privilege-post-1511655
Here is the link.
Funny part is that he never mentioned race.
Yes, as I read this, I thought about a number of white wankers I know that take advantage of everything outlined
I had a tenant experience with someone milking the system. Their son ended up living there and breaking into my apt multiple times. Race had nothing to do with being horrible people.
Well, technically you are dealing with probabilities and tendencies when it comes to races. At the end the individual matters.
Imagine you have 2 good muslim friends you know for ages, who are just good people. Do you trust 1000 other muslims coming to your town to be like them? Or rather match the statistical reality, which I guess we can agree upon is rather dire?
This is at large the general issue with collectives vs individuals. I know people who are intelligent, smart and reasonable from bad countries. I don't let my personal bias get in the way to shroud my view about their countries. I don't give in to pretend I have yet to judge every single person and therefore I am forced to ignore statistics and collective traits for the sake of being... being what actually?
I am an Individualist by principle, but I am not blind to ignore facts over it. Individualism means to adhere to reality over theory. People carry their collective traits with them - just as you do. I am a white person and as such I share attributes common among white people. I am also Hungarian and share values common among Hungarians. I am male and share values common among males. That is a statistical reality. However, I could totally deviate from some of my "identities", and that is variance we can expect with most people.
At the base level I expect people to behave based on their identities due to necessary ignorance about the individuals - it's a low resolution image, which is preferable to NO image at all (because people are not just results of total randomness) - until I can examine them individually. The image gets more clear, the individual surfaces. If I also talk to the person, my image becomes even clearer about them.
Do I consider stereotypes to be useful? Yes.
Do I assume deviations from stereotypes are the exception? No. That's what makes people human, more than just numbers and groups. Dehumanization occurs when we ignore or surpass individuality from people.
The low resolution image may be inaccurate, but it is still useful.
For example that Mexican trucker got fired for having made the ok-symbol with his hand accidentally (aka white supremacists sign, because we live in clown world). The people who came after him do not care the slightest about who he was. All they saw was that he had a white skin color, looked like a working class person, and made a hand gesture they forbade. That's enough information for them, they don't even want to know more, they even rely on ignorance - boom, guilty. Nobody asked him anything. That is Collectivism in action.
Yeah, but Statistics and science are racist /s
This comment is amazing. Thank you.
Amen
Raw numbers wise, there are probably more whites doing this than any other race. And they should be called out for it, as should every other person doing so.
Social programs might legitimately help many people, but by their nature they are designed for people to game the system. I would daresay that a majority of the people on them are fraudsters. But don't hate the player, hate the game
I've always thought the social programs are more than adequate to solve most of societies problems but nobody cares enough to take a year and clean them up - sort out whatever corruption, steam line them and make them more effective/efficient each year..
JUST LIKE CHARITIES NEED SERIOUS AUDITING. "FIND THE CURE" researchers included.
There is an entire cottage industry around them. And a vested interest not only in the electoral base, but also the government jobs to "adjudicate/award" them.
It would actually probably be cheaper money-wise to just give them out upon application rather than set up a system to investigate it. That's cheaper money-wise, but not the cost to society as a whole.
There is virtually zero chance that this will be reformed, at least under the current system.
The Democrats don't want it limited to race, they want as many people as possible dependent on the government. However, so far, they have been more successful with certain races than others
Ain't that the fucking truth!
Everyone one holding a gallon of soda in one hand and a bucket of kfc in the other on My 600 lb Life.
It goes to show how the left views non-whites.
Exactly. That’s how racist the left has become. A tipping point is near.
the logic is always everything is racism and racism is always "fuck white people" everything. the game is to fit as much as possible under that umbrella, no matter what was actually said or done
Poor kids can be just as smart as white kids!
“Previously accused of racism” LOLOLOL you mean like, EVERY white person?!
That's what the protests are about? I didn't know that.
Stereotypes are useful. Patterns are useful. They both do not care about race.
What an absolutely cancer site. Unskippable advertisement that scrolls with you on the page. Wants to IMMEDIATELY know your location, Jesus christ.
Bloomingdale, Ga. A small town in north Chatham Co.
I doubt he will get ousted for this.
It's not politically correct but it's actually correct.
The best kind of correct
The best kind of correct
The best kind of correct (did i do it right?)
The best kind of correct
Post was deleted of course, he fucking caved.
Never fucking apologize
They want to win but they don't know how to mine salt yet...
you'd think people would realize that by now
never cave in
Son of a bitch. I'm sick of people telling the truth and then showing remorse for doing so. Say it how it is and tell them to eat shit when they complain.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Has he apologized, or was it deleted by facebook? I was going to try and find a contact address for his office and thank him for speaking out, but if he's gone back then I sure as hell won't.
Many commentors above you are also saying the same thing. Maybe you can contact him, just instead of thanking him for making a stand that our Nation is at stake here and giving any inch ... or however you want to do it.
Bread and circuses is real. At some point when over half the population becomes net-takers and can vote, your democracy is doomed.
It’s a representative republic, thank you very much.
It's a constitutional monarch! oh wait...
Canada Intensifies
There's a great quote in there. It might be better if somebody spit it out intact: something about if they people ever discover we can vote ourselves money, the republic is doomed.
And that's basically what Biden is campaigning on
It won't take half the population. The contributions of several people are erased by a single leech.
Muh service economy
Take away their privilege to vote (it's not and has never been a right.) If you're taking out of the system more than you're putting in, why should you have a say in how the system is run? Why should you be able to vote to give yourself more benefits to do nothing?
You know I think something along these lines is needed, but more: some quiz about every vote you want to cast, that just insures you have some basic idea where they stand on certain issues. Of course this assumes electronic ballots, and we want to encourage paper ballots so maybe this isn't doable
$100,000 to go back to Africa. I don't care let's go into debt for this. It's well worth it.
"Even if it even saves 1 life" it will save a lot more than that.
That would be $4.92 trillion which we cannot afford with our national debt.
I’m not saying that I support it, I just did the fiscal math.
Do they need that much? MalcolmX wanted land, knowledge how to farm, and tools.
They are a net loss of taxes. All of our money goes towards it, anyways.
Might as well bleed for a cause instead of indefinite hemmoraging.
Just create some rampant inflation first so 100k is worth maybe 1/3 its current value but still has a psychological pull. Then we tax all the remittances to Africa and Mexico hard to repay everything!
Ok ok maybe its a terrible idea...
Make welfare suck again.
It worked tremendously to get people back to work.
Based.
"hate-facts"
The truth shouldn't be controversial but in the world of the left, it is. That's all a fact. There's an abundance of black privilege in this country- privilege of shit being given to you that you did not earn, being propped up by everyone else, having the bar lowered for you, housing/school paid for, mandated race admissions, etc.
I watched a black kid last year spend over $80 on Gatorade and bags of candy with an EBT card. Eff this system.
Watermelon flavor and Skittles?
There's literally no way to express yourself.
It's not, but you have to be willing to take the blowback.
Then that's not freedom of speech. Nor is it a free Country any longer. We've all been talking about taking it BACK since the 80's, it's time for action
That's why .win exists!
True. When my kids asked for expensive shoes, cause their classmates have them, I told them that those kids probably have the poorest parents. I hit it home when I showed them exactly where a couple of their friends live.
A public teacher friend of mine said some of his students will have the newest phones & most expensive sneakers and not one damn pencil, piece of paper or binder when they come to school. He raids the “general supply “ closet on the regular so those kids have no excuses.
I can still hear it, the kid with $200 sneakers, all designer clothes, 3 chains around his neck, "Let me borrow a puncil". Meanwhile me in my shoes with holes in them and 2nd hand thrift store outfit, all the supplies I needed. In high school I stopped carrying a backpack because it was so rampant and I got tired of arguing with them. I'd carry my notebook, textbook, and a pen in my pocket, fuck off I ain't got no puncil.
Almost like we are the slaves now.
Tax Cows
There's a lot of truth in that, so the cancel police will be all over that
He ain't wrong.
So spot on!
And the Takers don’t think they are doing anything wrong. It’s all they know...it’s systemic.
Systemic privilege and victim mentality
oh this is right up the road from me, might pop over saturday to show support. will report back.
Tell him not to apologize for truth!
Oh, and don't forget those WIC checks and Peach cards too!
Why is the contriversial?
Because it does not fit the fake news narrative.
Does this not exist? Yeah, no shit, it's not all blacks, but it is a stark reminder about how those impoverished in the US have all the government resources they need.
FCC and cable companies have obamaphone and other programs for free internet
Public housing is shit and exists.
65% of inter-city blacks are fatherless
Tons of food programs and charities.
Wait...how is this racially charged? He never mentioned race a single time. I think everyone else is stereotyping.
When you're a jogger, you need $200 sneakers.
My sneakers are over a year old, and the bottoms are worn smooth and peeling off. I keep putting off buying a new pair because money is tight. The government decided I can afford to pay hundreds a week in taxes, but I need to save so I can buy shoes. And I buy the $60 Chinese sweatshop bullshit.
This is not controversial. This is just simply telling the truth. The amount of priviledge these people have is unbelievable. I've been working a regular job since I was 13 years old. I have to earn a better life. Something is wrong when you are coddled so extremely that you become a hateful, bigotted, supremacist, abusive ghetto dweller and you still complain that you dont have enough. Its pathetic and shocking. The amount of hatred flowing from these freeloaders in almost inmeasurable. While at the same time kids you have went to college are being passed over for low skilled workers from HB1 visas and left with massive debt and most are called "privledged". My wife worked 2 jobs while she was putting herself through college. She was the only one out of her groups of friends there that wasnt getting a free ride. She also was the only white one out of her group of friends interestingly.
I want to move there just to vote for this guy.
Except lots of white people do this too. Probably more whites than black people.
Testifai!!
Cancel incoming!
Fucking true.
And all of us better join him before we lose our 1st ammendment.
If I see another video where somebody talks about being somebodies "baby Daddy".
WHAT THE FUCK KINDA CULTURE DO YOU HAVE WHERE YOU REFER TO BEING A FATHER AS A BABY DADDY?
Until people address that their culture is shit, and other cultures had better stop elevating it and acting like its cool.
Funny how everyone who wants to address the struggles of the black community refuses to acknowledge the epidemic of fatherlessness.
What’s controversial about this? He forgot that slavery is working 2 of 5 days per work week to pay for all this privilege that our masters receive
They are going to call it racist, despite it describing welfare queens of all colors. I worked at a grocery store and seen all of this in one family, driving an H2, with $1,000 in food stamps and another $1,000 in cash aid, 4 teen kids out of school dressed in designer clothes with iPhones...
Love it
Just the fact the mayor understands this is encouraging. For those who live free off the rest of us. Fuck you.
Letting people who are not net tax payers vote is retarded.
He's already deleted it. I don;t know if he's apologized or what, but he took it down.
I'm poor, always have been.
Not so poor that I'm entitled to any of this free shit, but just poor enough that I could never afford to pay for it out of my own pocket.
I've never been on unemployment, never got food stamps, no welfare of any kind.
But I am the guy that has to clip coupons, delay purchases, and be thrifty and spartan.
So what's the solution? I do without.
Now most things I'm fine doing without, but somethings actually hurt to not have.
My partner just turned 31, and we are now worried if we will ever be able to have kids for all of the reasons listed above.
It's a infuriating situation when at present, if we continue to work we can't afford to have children (something she want's tremendously) - but we know damn well that if we just 'gave up' and became total welfare pieces of shit we could objectively have better lives on someone else's dime. Doubly so because a good portion of why we can't afford the things we need, is we are paying so that others can enjoy them.
They hate him because he speaks truth.
Oh they’ll be coming for him. FSM posting articles already. They aren’t saying this one raciss, but that he posted raciss stuff in the past, so they can put racism in the headline.
That's pretty spicy.
Does he have an account here yet?
Fiscal impact per year by race: Whites: +$2,795 Hispanic: -$7,298 Black: -$10,016
Fiscal impact lifetime by race: Whites: +$220,805 Hispanic: -$588,219 Black: -$751,200

Holy shit if these numbers are true, you can't run a country like that. This is exactly what the globohomos want, for everybody to know we can never pay the national debt off it's hopeless. That's when they take everything.
We are here. (Although those numbers should be challenged. GDP vs national debt is a good way to start)
only people who would find this offensive, are the privileged.
This is genius. For them fto be offended by it, they have to admit it's true.
EXACTLY
Cities were invented to have a ready workforce nearby for industry, not to put welfare queens next to multimillion dollar lofts and 4 star hotels.
When is the truth controversial?......oh wait a minute. It's the real truth not the lefts "truth."
I had a job several years ago that sometimes took me into section 8. Oh the horrors. The one that made me the angriest though is the shitbird that had an entire wall full of his Jordan shoe collection. WTF? No joke Floor to ceiling of Jordans yet the house was trashed and smelled of filth.
I lived in section 8 until I got a job at the age of 16 and eventually moved out of state a few months later.
0/10 would not recommend
Yeah the truth is often controversial to the left
