50 years later: has government dependency helped or hurt blacks?

[Tank]

Conservative logic is hilarious.

Blacks suffer decade after decade of slavery, then voter suppression, then KKK violence, then Jim Crow, and then segregation. And conservatives conclude that the problems of blacks are the fault of blacks, and that blacks better get their act together.

How do you explain the massive failures of blacks outside the US?

The Sumerians were arabs. It is very unlikely this area would be totally arab today if it was mostly black at that time

The Arabic slave raids into Africa started in 650. It went on until the 20th century. Then there was the European colonial period, and the wars that followed it.

While there was a time that blacks could point at racism and segregation as the things that held them back the most...that time has come and gone, Cheeze. There is a black man in the White House. Quite obviously, blacks are no longer segregated by society. So what IS holding back blacks in this country? The takeover of our educational system by the Federal Government was supposed to provide a leveling of the playing field but in fact it's made what was bad even worse. Welfare was supposed to be a "safety net" but it's devolved into cradle to the grave inducement to not work and not keep the family intact. Things like "Ebonics" were taught in our schools instead of English grammar and then a generation of young people couldn't understand why they weren't being hired. Black on black crime is so widespread it isn't even treated as newsworthy and once vibrant cities like Detroit look like something out of the latest "zombie" movie with empty streets roamed by the homeless and the hopeless.

^^ Brainwashed idiocy. Cost 5 trillion to avoid a full scale Pub depression and save the victms from homelessness and hunger. Thanks for 5 years of mindless obstruction and self inflicted "crises", chumps of the greedy idiot rich GOP, hater dupes.

"As a group, America's poor are far from being chronically undernourished. The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually the same for poor and middle-class children and, in most cases, is well above recommended norms.

Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100 percent above recommended levels.

Most poor children today are, in fact, supernourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II.

Thousands of years from now blacks will claim they were the first to build Detroit

Actually you are not far off. There is already proof Africans were in the Americas way before the land bridge formed.

No they weren't They were Black Africans. Why would they call themselves "the black headed people"? It would be very likely once different races mixed they would get changed in appearance. Arabs are a mixture of European, Asian and African ancestry. Genetics dont lie.

Wow. What a list of white grievances there.

The schools in poor black neighborhoods aren't funded enough today to make up for the past segregation and underfunding. The welfare programs aren't generous enough to make a difference. Ebonics? What early 1990s news feed are you following? Ebonics was never as big as the conservative media made it out to be. Hilarious. Black on black crime went up with the War on Drugs, like Italian on Italian crime did during prohibition. It will go back down when drugs are decriminlized, just like mafia violence did after prohibition ended. And Detroit's problem is conservative "free trade" policies that let any low wage country ship whatever they make to the US.

One Black person in the white house and now everything is great!? Not to be ungrateful but you have to be kidding me. You guys definitely should not be bitching about anything then. Every other president has been white. There should be no whites whatsoever getting any sort of aid at all. Is this your logic?

Most Blacks are smarter than you so that should answer your question.

They have resented the presence of free blacks in the country, and whats more they still do.

Why do you think college football is so popular in the South? Blacks who get paid what they deserve drive conservative southern whites up the wall.

we had a presentation at our school the other day concerning state testing.

the state had 3 areas of concern.

1. special ed , ELL and low income students

2. hispanic students

3. black students

state testing scores went just in that order

Every demographic group is doing better than blacks in school. That is why there are socio-economic problems in the so called black community. It's not racism.

Why isn't whitey keeping asians down?

Anybody ever wonder what American conservative Christians would say or do if Jesus came back tomorrow and the Messiah (Not Obama, Jesus) was suddenly revealed to be a brown-skinned savior?

Probably dark skin but not black, not that it really matters except maybe to the KKK.

As usual whites in general refuse to understand things until it causes an issue with them. It is absolutely breathtaking to watch how they dont seem to get it. How many Asians dont know their history and dont know their people contributed something to the world? Besides there was a time period whites did attempt to keep Asians down. How soon we conveniently forget. I bet if americans taught the true history of the world and the US Black test scores would rise dramatically

Give whites some credit for the advancements that many blacks have made, because they sure didn't get their on their own. Who do you think ended slavery - dumb ass! If it wasn't for whites ...
