YES... They literally think the black people are their pawns... SO then realize what is REALLY going on when THEY say... Black people should be the first to get the vaccine.
The black vote was more or less evenly split until 1948-1964.
Lyndon B. Johnson is the guy that really screwed it up.
Why did the KKK pick burning crosses as a symbol? That’s something I never understood.
It was actually a t, for "time to get out." (Im kidding)
That sounds familiar...
Thomas sowell said that it doesn’t appear racial according to the data. The blacks that move to the US from Africa today and have different cultural values tend to break out of poverty within 1 generation. Seek out his data on it because he addressed this question.
Dude, Nigerians that come to the US are so successful they rival even the Swedes that come here. This place is meant for people to make it. No long history of social eggshells. There is a reason Rwanda has banned ethnic political appeals. Because Marxist finger wagging and grievance bullshit destroys opportunity. It freezes social and economic development like an alcoholic father forces arrested development.
Let me make even simpler..Marxists and the left want to convince you ..
You are a "sucker" if you try on your own.. the idea being to convince you that you must come to them
Im have what most would consider a major physical handicapped.. been since i was a kid
. I was given full disability at 18.. but i wanted to work.. its was always lefties saying "cool your handicapped..you get disability ..and when i told them
no i got off it.. no i worked.. they would tell me im i fool and a sucker to believe i could make it
The left does the same with everybody.."you a fool and a sucker".. if you believe you can make it...
They left has poured Oceans of this corrosive acid of the soul on the black Community for years...its a cancer.. it a drug...its destroys you.. It erodes the very foundation of your being
As for me..i knew not to listen.. that why with a handicapped..I still make a nice 6 figure income on a high school education
Who knows if it wasn't handicap...i probaby a billionaire by now
I like to say im a better "socialist" as a "Capitalist" then people that are "Socialist" are "socialist"
Because
"Each according to there ability" means you should be working to the best of your ability .. before you start expecting
"Each according to there needs"
That should be for the truly needy
Ever notice socialist never sell the "Each according their ability part?
Its the "Each according to their needs" part that they sell
Their always selling free shit part ....
never the worked to the best of your abilities and produce part...
Communism & Socialism
Is just a giant Ponzi scheme
A giant Pyramid scheme...
Aget rich quick con job
With the people on top of the Pyramid getting everything
And the people on bottom getting screwed
Isn't it the best of the best of Nigeria that comes to the USA from Nigeria? And isn't Nigeria one of the most populous countries in the world, with almost 200 million people? From a statistical point of view, with 200 million people, there are bound to be geniuses among them, whatever averages reg. competences, capabilities, etc. they do or do not have.
As a side-note, I have read comments reg. some Nigerians complaining about a brain drain from Nigeria to the USA, though I don't know whether that is true or not.
Smart Nigerians leave Nigeria.
Hopefully they will come back to Nigeria at some point and make it great, or great again.
Nigeria is really an African success story. Hard to tell but it's pretty based or at least well on it's way. But China will fuck it up.
Serious question I have....why didn’t welfare completely decimate the white family in the same way?
It does, but enough white people aren't in the system for it to have a generation vicious cycle. If you're a poor white kid, you'll likely have some middle to upper class fiends in school. These influences show you the way out.
Many black kids only interact with other poor kids, so all they know is the welfare cycle.
And it is a cycle. There's whole generations of black families who have been pretty much solely dependent on welfare since its invention. They're on it. Their mom is on it. Their grandma is on it. There's whole families who never spent a dollar in their life that wasn't handed out by the government.
That is just pure insanity. How did that just pass by everyone?
Well... I can very well imagine the answer... but still...
No one had the spine to talk about it because it was immediately retorted with "YOU'RE GONNA TAKE AWAY THEIR LIVELIHOOD".
Its totally socio-economic and not racial. After WW2 you had the second or third great black migration to northern cities, and despite the forced ghettoization and redlining you have black families moving into the middle class in the 50s and early 60s, like every other working-class group since the German migration. Then social welfare hits like a bomb.
It'd be the same for Italian or Irish immigrants in their ghettos had social welfare hit decades earlier. There's a reason why the deep south still has semblance of black middle class in their cities. Southern cities were poorer than their northern counterparts so blacks had an easier trip up the economic ladder to relative prosperity for their region. The north has never been properly desegregated and the concentration in wealth has always been in the northeast and midwest.
Ok. So what do we do? I’d like to end it cold turkey, but a lot of my bleedIng heart friends dont want that.
Trump is already doing it. Step 1: Bring back well-paying manufacturing jobs. Step 2: Economic Opportunity Zones. Step 3: Reduce black unemployment. Step 4: Gradually reduce welfare benefits. Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 as necessary. Step 6: ???? Step 7: Profit!
We are a country of more jobs than people. That's why we steadily have more than a million immigrants coming in every year. That's more than enough jobs for the people on welfare to get off. Although, 0% unemployment is functionally impossible. Cutting them off cold turkey is the answer. Not slowly, but immediately.
I'd say its gotten better though, it was a lot worse in the 80's and 90's. BUT there's also more entitlements than ever, so you could say it hasn't gotten better because there's definitely more people overall on welfare of some sort.
It's a problem that solves itself once you cut it off cold turkey. If they don't work, they're broke. Maybe they turn to illegal activities to make money, but that's beside the point. Employers that may not pay a livable wage, will have no choice but to pay a livable wage. Right now, employers get away with not paying a livable wage, because the taxpayers subsidizing their workers with welfare, allows them to pay less. So cutting off welfare will be hard at first, but it will have economic boosting benefits. More money in taxpayer pockets, more money in previous welfare recipients pockets (if they choose to not be broke).
So how do you cut them off cold turkey? Make VERY strict requirements to be eligible. Preferably it'd be nice to cut it off completely and remove things like the foodstamp system altogether, because there will always be people who are happy to not work and collect what little they can, even if it's not enough to live off of. The truth is, people will make due with even a very small amount of entitlements, because if they don't have to do anything for it, it's free money in their pockets either way. We will always have people like that. There's homeless people with food stamp cards, but they're not homeless for any reason other than they don't care to do anything to not be homeless. For them, homelessness is a choice.
But the ultimate solution, is to simply remove ALL welfare, and only cover the disabled. Again, it would be painful at first, but there would soon be sweeping changes in the economy for the better of everyone. Employers can't hire people if they can't put food on the table. No workers = No business. When it comes to the choice of less profit or no profit, which do you think businesses would choose? Obviously, less profit.
Remove the social security system, and the same thing will happen. If people can't make enough money to save for retirement, companies will be forced to pay more. If after that they squander it and don't save? That's on them. No bailouts.
One also has to think of the effects on supply and demand. Right now, millions upon millions of people, are buying up tons of food with foodstamps. Think about how that affects the cost of things when it comes to supply and demand. It makes things cost more, because more demand, less supply. And what's worse, is its technically demand not based on production. It's "free" money given to people that didn't contribute to the economy to get that money. It's essentially the same as printing money, and with the +20 trillion of debt, ALL government money is technically printed money....worse even, because it's all debt money with interest attached to it.
See, the truth about welfare is entitlements are used to buy votes. That's its only purpose. Yes, people can fall on hard times, but if you live in a world where people have no safety net, guess what happens? Changes. Job security increases. Personal responsibility increases. Pay increases. Prices decrease. Because the people will demand it collectively, and there will be no way they can be ignored, and no way that companies can save face. No one to offset their employee's pay.
Before the welfare system was enacted, people lived exactly like this, and it worked just fine. It was only when the great depression happened that problems came. And maybe a welfare system can help boost things when events like that happen, but a welfare system doesn't and shouldn't be perpetually active. It should only be activated in times of economic depression, if necessary.
There's also a lot of other things that can be done to shore up things for having no welfare systems. For example, limiting exports. One of the main reasons for some products pricing, is that Americans have to compete with overseas sales (such as with groceries), which drives up prices. American beef and milk for example. Look what happened when Canada banned US milk sales in their country. Milk went from $4-5 a gallon to $1.25 a gallon. Why? Because the dairy industry had more milk than they knew what to do with. They may have been profiting less, but they were still profiting. Some things, companies make more money selling overseas than locally.
So they have every interest to sell overseas, which decreases supply in the US, which increases price in the US. So we actually end up paying more for products in the US as citizens, for companies selling those products overseas. At that point, we are practically paying for the "privilege" to provide exports of our goods to other countries, almost like welfare. And those countries may levy heavy taxes (like China) and put money into their own coffers by siphoning wealth from the sale of our products. Even in cases where we sell products to other countries for less money than we pay, that hurts us even more, because it's again reducing supply, which increases prices of those products for US citizens.
So if we limit what products are allowed to be exported, we would both increase supply and reduce price. We need to have businesses revolving around essentials (like food) operating in a capacity where they have almost too much supply. This doesn't necessarily need to be perpetual, but in time of extreme economic downturn, it would be a measure that could drastically stretch peoples dollar.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I wish I could give this more than one up vote.
Many black kids only interact with other black kids, who may likely also be on welfare.
They are taught NOT to socialize with whites.
Ever notice how the blacks always sit together in the lunchroom?
This is a bit of a misleading statement as any major change immediately causes for a drop in statistics and behavior. Combine elements if tribalism (no matter the race) and it is exacerbated. The strong correlation of welfare breeding welfare is both accurate and the original intention. Just search Lindon B Johnson and "ill have those n*****s voting Democrat for generations."
For current stats, look up foster children and their rates of producing more foster children, single parent homes breeding single parent homes, and the rates of single parent homes on welfare and producing foster children. Also, there is a financial cliff at about 18k income where if you make 18.1k, you lose almost 50k worth of several aid, thus incentivizing many to never leave.
This is the most devious part of the whole plan. Every single western country has this same 'critical flaw' in their welfare systems. There is a point where making even a dollar more money means losing money. There is no way in hell that wasn't designed intentionally.
and then those on the cliff if they choose not to crawl out through the pain of quartering income are required to vote Democrat or essentially vote away their source of income.
There is a stronger correlation between poverty enslavement to single parent homes than to a specific race. The Black Culture in the 80s to 90s though switched from supporting the nuclear family to defying it, whereas this cultural shift has lagged in the White Culture (though parity is growing). Identifying race as causation is wrong, and we should not obfuscate it as fact. The American ideal, and Christian foundations, drives community, opportunity, peace, and potential for success in a manner completely blind to race, religion, or creed.
What is your correlation coefficient? Let's compare data sets then as this is a mathematical measure and we can remove interoetation. Otherwise, "nope" just pleads ignorance your racist diatribe seems like shilling.
urban folks are more affected by welfare.
I think it’s because whites didn’t go running to urban areas. Most urban areas denounce 2A and criminal prosecution.
I also think it’s because white people aren’t teaching their kids to hate. Look at the Tulsa rally. Not saying that they were all poor, but Tulsa isn’t on anyone’s mind when they think rich. The white people in line were filled with happiness and love. Everyone else there to start shit was bitter and anger.
It absolutely does. I come from a small town of poor white people. All the same issues, just not quite as vicious in the acting out. Lots of thieves, not many murderers.
I've heard anecdotal reporters that they specifically sent welfare agents to black communities to inform them that they were ineligible for welfare benefits if there was a man in the house. Larry Elder mentioned it in his first interview with Dave Ruben.
YES! THIS
The welfare that is implemented in America was first implement in Britain. These Whites on welfare have same characteristics as Blacks on welfare in America. It is well document. Tom Sowell writes about it at length.
Theodore Dalrymple wrote about this too, "Life at the Bottom." He was a prison psychologist, and he saw the same kind of attitudes in poor white in Britain, they had been taught that because they were poor, nothing was their responsibility, things just happened to them, like they had no agency. I wish I could remember exactly what he said, but I believe he said the elites/psychs/liberals had pushed these ideas about poor people, gave them excuses, and so of course criminals used it as a handy excuse for any bad behavior.
You have created a red herring. My point was on the effects of welfare on families and cultures. My point had nothing to do with parentage, but with effects on behavior. To compare Tom Sowell to Mr. Coates is reprehensible. Tom Sowell credentials are beyond reproach. Your problem is that you are viewing this from a myopic view and not from the point of historical view. BTW, Tom Sowell was quoting research of a British doctor who document this behavior after welfare was implemented for Whites in Britain. I am going to venture and say, you have never read Tom Sowell’s book on the subject.
I have not looked into this topic extensively, so I wonder whether you might have studied this topic and whether you can answer this question without spending much time on it:
Are family units where children are reared and raised primarily or solely by their parents the norm in Sub-Saharan Africa, rural and/or urban? Or is it the norm that children are reared and raised primarily by a whole village or similar grouping, instead of primarily or solely their parents, and where parentage of children matters less? If you have studied this topic and know of any sources and material reg. it, I would greatly appreciate it.
I do not know whether or not it is the norm in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, I do know it was not the norm for Blacks in America until after the passage of welfare. According to Herbert Gutman’s research on the Black Family in Slavery & Freedom covering data from 1750-1925, 85% of Black families were double-headed, which means both mother and father were in the family. Gutman’s research is never quoted because it dispels the myth that slavery is responsible for broken black families. Before you ask, yes Gutman’s research looked at the inner city & rural. More surprisingly was that his study covered unskilled, lower class blacks. Now contrast that too this same group of people who populate these areas today. Single out of wedlock black mothers as single head of households mostly populate the inner city.
Thank you for the answer, but as you write yourself, that doesn't answer my question. I have already heard about such research reg. the USA, but not reg. Sub-Saharan Africa.
Systems that provide equality of opportunity respect a natural heirarchy by their nature, because the able will have the advantage.
What else would you have?
Which specific laws were those?
Snake oil. I would say rational. In order for your theory to work, then all other races would have to stop improving or stand still. In what world will that occur. You and others like you who think that this will occur are insane and irrational. Also, why is it that when you take into account the improvement of other minorities, outside of African Americans, the data show that these groups are improving or ahead of whites, especially when looking Asians and Jews? Again, another data point that shows you were your argument falls flat. However, in order for your to acknowledge this point, you will have to answer the question what is causing blacks to not improve? I fear you will not like the answer you receive after being confronted with the problem as opposed to the symptoms. Free your mind.
Given the length of time since Blacks have started attending school, they are progressing and have progressed. However, to expect for it to be on par with nonwhites mathematically it makes no sense.
Argue the data, not ad hominem. Sadly to say that you cannot.
And it's hard to find them when they only know them by their ghetto nickname.
"We're sorry Toenisha, but there is no identity record for "Lil Cuz" or "Big Smoke" in the system".
Welfare doesn't cause it, but it enables it by creating perverse incentives.
Different situation. The US is uncivilized inside civilized. Africa has no normal. We are becoming Africa though.
The "man in the house" rule that denied welfare to families if a man lived in the house did cause some of that: https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Man-in-the-House+Rule
Another factor, that I don't see talked about much these days, is the crack epidemic of the 80s and 90s. Between the effects of the drug itself, violence resulting from it's distribution, and the incarceration of black men, it's no wonder families couldn't survive in that environment. One way or another, they end up a slave: to the drug, to the prison system, or to welfare.
Then the rap culture exploded around the early 90s, turning alot of lyrically minded gang bangers into millionaires and role models for black kids. I heard that one reason rap became so popular was to get black people to be part of the prison industrial complex.
Welfare is just a symptom of communism.
Let's not forget that it was Martin Luthor King Jr. who successfully transcribed the Communist template from "Rich vs. Poor" to "White vs Black", thus obliterating almost 100 years of steady progress in the Black Community.
Fucking bingo my dude. The welfare state was expanded under LBJ for the sole purpose that now that the civil rights had been won for Blacks, they had to do something to subvert the Civil rights movement. What better way than incentivize the welfare state, jailing black fathers, crowding Blacks into government subsidized housing and starting a generations of fatherless inner city children. It’s fucking disgusting what they have done. Again, Democrats.
Democrats have single handedly damned an entire race. They're awful.
Edit: Democrats sound more and more like Nazis each passing day don't they?
Absolutely. They use minorities as a means to an end, not that some minorities weren't already hellbent on the destruction of the white race/America anyway. Mexicans wanting to "take back" the US, blacks saying all lives matter when black lives matter, the UN backing ANTIFA, China backing WHO, mass illegal immigration, and so on.
Let's not forget opening the floodgates to mass immigration from third world countries to compete with blacks, who had just gotten out of Jim Crow.
I loathe DemoKKKrats.
Who's responsible for the decimation of black families in particular and the nuclear family generally? DEMOCRATS

Decades of very profitable narcotic supply into the ghetto.
Crooked NYC cops made a fortune on heroin in Harlem in the 1920s.
Giving a job to someone unqualified will only set them up for failure. The solution is not preferential treatment, the solution is equal treatment.
Welfare is slavery, the DNC just switched from growing cotton to growing votes.
When you have nothing family is the most important thing. When you have everything family still the most important thing. If you don't agree you are wired wrong
Thomas Sowell has been saying this for decades. Everyone should listen to Thomas Sowell.
Tom Sowell has been saying this for years.
Little known fact because people don't study history. Welfare was started as a form of reparations. Black people don't like hearing that because people other than black people are capable of receiving it. They don't like hearing blacks were not the only slaves. It goes contrary to the history they learned in Django Unchained.
There were reparations programs after the civil war as well, like the 40 acres and a mule thing but i think a mjority of those programs got shutdown over time. I think George Washington Carver talked about young black people in either DC or Baltimore wasting their wages too fast, and he was worried about that as well.
It absolutely is. The biggest reason I see for not working hard or even trying is "I might lose my welfare benefit".
If you look at BLM supporters to see what they want....it is always reparations. They just want more handouts.
Lbj was a political genuis to get an entire group of people to vote essentially monolithically for 70+ years

Finally, an intelligent professor! What's the world coming to?
Simultaneously destroys your will to work and your family structures at the same time.
He is 100% correct.
Ongoing welfare is soul destroying, and addictive. Over time it kills any sense of self worth the recipient may have had. The “dignity of work” that POTUS talks about is a very real thing. Welfare should be extremely limited, perhaps 4 weeks within a year, to counter the rapid addiction and negative impacts. Paying a person to do nothing is inherently wrong, and the recipient knows this in the core of their being. They hate themselves for accepting it, and they hate the provider too for their involvement in the transaction. They are more belittled and broken every time their hand takes the payment. They feel more unworthy, incompetent, incapable, useless and rotten as each “free” week passes. Self loathing fills their breath, minute by minute, day by day, night by night. They cannot parent a child. They cannot support a partner. They cannot build or produce or create or educate or contribute. They are stuck in the cycle of taking. If or when they are able to give of themselves, it is fleeting, blind and brief, like a throwback to an unconscious ancestral memory.
The Welfare State is corrupt from the highest echelons to the lowest. It hates and destroys humanity.
...and the minimum wage.

Do something without pay VS Do nothing for pay. One might sound like a sweeter deal than the other, but both are slavery to a master.

Welfare is slavery
Imagine if the globalists didn't ship all the factories overseas, and lower-middle-class blacks would have jobs in the inner-cities, and be proud, and not on handouts? Globalist sellouts in every industry, the Democrats and the folks who are RINOs are responsible for the dissolution of the Black Family which was coming along real nice until LBJ decide to go full Democrat. Making many great strides, especially after Republican Eisenhower desegregated the military. These Democrats are sick and they thrive off of misery. More patriots who even think they may be up to the task need to step up and run for office so we can right this ship.
I don't want to live in anarcho-tyranny where ultra rich live in walled cities, not giving a shit about their fellow countrymen who are all living Venezuela style socialist hell. We need to change the culture. We need to start publicly shaming these cucks in large groups. Before someone tries to frame this as an anti free-market stance, shut up. I'm not anti free market. I'm anti being a callous, amoral, indifferent piece of shit who virtue signals as a "super empathetic guy" on the outside because they are a calculating psychopath. The type of pricks who wear pink sweaters while talking about killing babies.Timmy Apple, and any other American billionaire who puts a black box on their social media profile while at the same time doing everything they possibly can to ship labor jobs overseas to China instead of helping the citizens of the very country that made their success possible by reinvesting back into America in a dignified way (no handouts) really rub me the wrong way.
Summary: invest in America you sellout globalist demons.
