This country is doomed, not just because African Americans, but because the country will be minority white by 2040??????

[IM2]

Absolutely. And that’s the obvious “secret” the activist blacks and self-loathing whites want to keep hidden. All it takes is ONE generation to move out of poverty by making the right choices:

Of below-average intelligence? Just graduate high school and don’t have a baby before marriage. You won’t be middle class, but you won’t be in poverty, either.

Of average intelligence? Do the above, but then take advantage of free community college or vocational training (via Pell Grants) to learn more of a trade. You will be lower-middle class, if you choose your program wisely.

Of above-average intelligence? Ah! Now you can ace your Community college program, making sure it’s academic in nature, and win academic scholarships to the state u. Combined with Pell Grants, the majority of tuition is covered. Any remaining can be made up with a small loan. Bam. You’re middle class.

Of significantly above intelligence? Do all the above, choosing a STEM and then work for a company that has tuition reimbursement to go to grad school at night. You will spend the majority of your adult life in the upper-middle class.

it can all be done in a single generation. And due to affirmative action, blacks are given preference via the education route.

Whites didn't do it in one generation and that was with massive government help.

“Hoping to create in white men and women a shared sense of victimization at the hands of people of color, conservatives have made sure to ignore whatever gains have come to women through affirmative action and have sought to “racialize” the debate and its attendant imagery.”

On June 17, 2013 Sally Kohn wrote an article in Time titled, “Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone.” Kohn provides this historical backdrop for the implementation including the reasons why President Johnson added women: “Originally, women weren’t even included in legislation attempting to level the playing field in education and employment. The first affirmative-action measure in America was an executive order signed by President Kennedy in 1961 requiring that federal contractors “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.” In 1967, President Johnson amended this, and a subsequent measure included sex, recognizing that women also faced many discriminatory barriers and hurdles to equal opportunity.” Kohn continues by stating that while Affirmative Action has helped people of color, it has disproportionately benefitted white women.

“While people of color, individually and as groups, have been helped by affirmative action in the subsequent years, data and studies suggest women — white women in particular — have benefited disproportionately. According to one study, in 1995, 6 million women, the majority of whom were white, had jobs they wouldn’t have otherwise held but for affirmative action.”​

The National Womens Law Center did a study on Affirmatives Action and found that: “Women of color have lagged particularly far behind in both employment and education. For example, in 1998, the median weekly salary for Black women was $400 compared to $468 for white women and $615 for white men. Hispanic women earned a median weekly income of only $337. Even in sectors where women have made inroads into management, minority women continue to be underrepresented. In the banking industry, only 2.6% of executive, managerial and administrative jobs were held by Black women, and 5% by Hispanic women, compared to 37.6% by white women. In the hospital industry, Black and Hispanic women each held 4.6% of these jobs, while white women held 50.2%. At the top, women of color represented only 11.2% of all corporate officers in Fortune 500 companies.

The truth of history is being told. We all learned about slavery and Jim Crow in high school.

And you just said upthread that it’s payback time for whites. Your attitude toward whitey is racist. Unless whitey says that ALL problems in the black community, in 2021, is all due to systemic racism, and that blacks in the ghetto don’t have one iota of responsibility for their own situation, he’s considered a racist.

Say tell us again how thrilled you are that it’s payback time for whites, and then accuse other people of racism.

BTW, I knew an activist black who spouted the same stuff you are, and he was a member of Farakhann’s Nation of Islam. You too?

No bitch, we aren't taught history. We are taught halfstory. YOU are the one talking about payback. "Whitey" doesn't have to say anything, the facts show that systemic racism exists. So tell me, why are you showing everybody that you're a 2021 racist then whining about some kind of payback FOR THE PAST? BTW, I knew a white female ho spouted the same stuff you are, and she was a member of the Aryan Nation. You too?

FIrst, SOME whites did do it in a single generation, and that’s how I know it can be done. My parents and their siblings were all born into extreme poverty, and were all college graduates by the age of 21. All owned their first house by the age of 30. All were downright upper-middle class by 40. They did it by making sacrifices, working hard, being motivated, being intelligent, being disciplined - and recognizing that THEY were responsible for their own lives.

As far as blacks, you’ve had two generations of affirmative action letting much less qualified blacks into educational programs while displacing better qualified whites. Of blacks in med school, only 1 in 3 would have been admitted if the “white standards” were applied.

And if blacks earn less than whites, on average, it’s because they’re less educated. Stop your racist attitude of blaming whites for everything, and acknowledge that blacks who drop out of high school with a baby MADE that choice.

 

[Lisa558]

Sorry, stopped reading when you called me bitch.

Grow up and admit that people are responsible, at least to SOME degree, as to whether they stay mired in poverty - and stop blaMing whitey.

Now into ignore you go, you racist.

 

[IM2]

And P.S. What about what I just outlined above - the simple steps to get out of poverty - the ghetto for blacks - in a single generation? Unwilling to acknowledge if the poor* blacks did the most basic things - like finish high school and don’t have babies they can’t afford - they’d move out of poverty?

* Most blacks are in the middle class, something racist blacks such as yourself don’t want to admit and self-loathing liberal whites don’t even know.

Let me eplain how whites got where they are because you're either delusional or a willful liar.

The Homestead Acts began more than one decade before the end of slavery. This alone should provide evidence of the limited benefit this act had for blacks in America. Passed in 1862, the Homestead Acts gave away 246 million acres of land. To qualify for Homestead land a person had to be a citizen of the United States and blacks were not given citizenship until 1866. Research shows that 99.73 percent of that land went to whites, including white immigrants. 1.5 million white families were given free land or the equivalent of a minimum of $500,000 per family. Today 93 million whites still live on homestead land, which is at least 40 percent of the white population in America. That land has helped whites accumulate the wealth they have today.

The National Housing Act was a law passed by Congress and signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934. This law created the Federal Housing Administration or the FHA. The National Housing Act is probably the policy that has provided the greatest impact on individual wealth accumulation in modern America. The FHA was able to create a guaranteed home loan program whereby potential homebuyers could get bank loans guaranteed against default by the government. Less than 5 percent of all government guaranteed loans between1935 and 1968 went to blacks. Black creditworthiness was no excuse for banks because payment of the loans were guaranteed by the federal government.

The Social Security Act of 1935 created the Social Security program, state unemployment insurance, and assistance to single women with children. TWhen President Roosevelt signed the law, approximately two thirds of the blacks in America were ineligible. So for years a majority of blacks were excluded from social security savings and could not get unemployment.

. Title 4 or IV of the social security act of 1935 called for grants in aid to be provided to each state as Aid To Dependent Children. Eventually the name of the program was changed to Aid to Families with Dependent Children. This was welfare folks. Assistance for single moms with children without daddy at home. In 1935. Blacks were excluded. The program offered aid primarily to poor females who were caring for children without a husband. From the time of the Childrens Bureau until 1965 no one talked about how the welfare state was wrong and created the disintegration of the white family.The program was not denigrated as something creating dependence on government, it was seen as essential assistance needed to help women without husbands who had children.

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 created the minimum wage and time and a half overtime pay for working over forty hours a week. Due to pressure from southern congressmen, industries would be excluded from the regulations where the majority of workers were black. Because of this, blacks were paid less than the minimum wage.

“I'm the beneficiary of the biggest affirmative action program in American history: A free education, a loan for a house. But black veterans didn't get it. We got made middle class by our government program.”

The Rev. Jim Wallis
​

On June 22, 1944, President Roosevelt signed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act, better known as the G.I. Bill. This law provided benefits for veterans returning World War Two. This act included funds for college tuition, low-cost home loans, and unemployment insurance.

“In 1947, some 70,000 African American veterans were unable to obtain admission to crowded, under-resourced black colleges. The University of Pennsylvania—one of the least-discriminatory schools at the time—enrolled only 40 African American students in its 1946 student body of 9,000.” Southern universities? Forget about it. “After World War II, blacks wanting to attend college in the South were restricted to about 100 public and private schools, few of which offered education beyond the baccalaureate and more than a quarter of which were junior colleges, with the highest degree below the B.A.”

All these things impact our lives right now. Whites would have NOTHING without this government assistance and while blacks paid taxes, blacks were excluded from most if not all of these programs.

 

[DBA]

No, the opposite, Liberals want to blame everything OTHER than the choices that blacks themselves make which contribute to the disparitIes.

And stop with the 254 years stuff. Slavery ended 150 years ago, and Jim Crow 60. Are you honestly insisting that blacks are completely blameless? Every single thing is whites’ fault? (I see you’ve been brainwashed by the CRT.)

As far as the black professional woman who chooses to have a baby, you can always pull out exceptions. I’m talking about the inner-city slums, where black girls are having babies in their teens, unable to support them.

Blacks earn less than whites because they are less than educated. and they are less educated because babies born out-of-wedlock have lower educational attainment. Until blacks are willing to acknowledge that SOME of the disparity is due to their poor choices, things will not improve.

Democrats are specifically taught not to take personal responsibility for anything. It is very hard to break poor rearing by parents and/or the educational system. Like children, they must be forced to take responsibility, not rewarded for skirting it. The problem is that these irresponsible folks vote explicitly to avoid personal responsibility and reward themselves at the expense of others.

Some blacks have done it too an did so without the government help whites got. In 1932 blacks had a 82 percent rate of poverty. In 1959, it was 55 percent. In 1972, 32 percent. Now 25 percent. Black poverty and unemployment has remained at least 2x higher than whites, and that's even as more blacjks have entered and graduated from college than ever before. You don't know what you're talking about, but since this forum is filled withracists, your inorance will get cosigned.

Time to start working.

Your first sentence says “let me explain how whites got where they are.” I assume you would agree that all whites are not successful or rich. Logic dictates that if that is the case, there is something other than being white than contributes to success and that many whites that have not been successful have been , in some cases, unlucky or, in most, made bad choices. I have always been of the mindset that you make your own luck.

Absolutely, and if you think about it, THAT is the racist attitude! They are basically saying blacks are incapable of making decisions in their own best interest - which at the very basest level is to finish high school and don’t become a teenage mother unable to support your own babies.

i think blacks can do it!

There aren't any more dangerous racists either, since in their warped racist minds they feel justified by the moronic racist white leftists in the media and everywhere else.

So true. The whites who remain poor made the same decisions that blacks who remain poor.

It might be slightly off topic, but I think this is why there is more anti-Jew sentiment among blacks than whites, and also why there is animosity toward Jews in liberal organizations. (Remember the liberal Women’s March? They aligned with Farrakhan and kicked a Jew off their board because they said blacks wouldn’t be comfortable with a Jew.)

It’s because Jews prove that, with correct decisions, and the right personal traits - discipline, hard work, willingness to sacrifice, etc. - even the most persecuted people on earth can rise above all the bigotry to become successful. It proves that you can‘t blame bigotry for lack of success.

 

[Resnic]

I would imagine that after three more years of the Democrat's stupidity, those black and brown people will turn Republican. I could live with that.

The majority of blacks will side with whoever gives them the most ability to make excuses and not have responsibility, and give them money.

Half of brown people are rapidly becoming illegals and they will side with whoever let's them walk in the country.

In 9 months Biden has fucked this country and put his people in everywhere allover the country, bringing in illegals by the plane and boat load, damaged our economy in a variety of ways and it's only been 9 months. I don't know that things will be repairable if we have to wait over 3 years.

That’s why it’s critical that we prevent the Dems from cheating in the 2022 election, and thus elect Republicans to neutralize Biden. He won’t be able to get through his America-destroying policies if we take Congress.

Of course, doesn’t mean he won’t try with EOs. We have to count on the SCOTUS to keep him from becoming a dictator.

To continue off topic, the Jewish, by and large, voting for Democrats has always been a real conundrum to me. It is such a strange dynamic they they would vote against Israel(and for folks like Omar) and against success and entreprenuership. It is interesting that Orthodox Jews vote overwhelmingly Republican while secular Jews do not.

White racism created a dysfunctional country that has wasted massive amounts of human resources and created an unnecessary multi trillion dollar defict. If this was a business whites would be fired.

On October 24, 2013, the Kellogg Foundation sent out a press release about a report they had done entitled, “The Business Case for Racial Equity”.

“Striving for racial equity – a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity – is a matter of social justice. But moving toward racial equity can generate significant economic returns as well. When people face barriers to achieving their full potential, the loss of talent, creativity, energy, and productivity is a burden not only for those disadvantaged, but for communities, businesses, governments, and the economy as a whole. Initial research on the magnitude of this burden in the United States (U.S.), as highlighted in this brief, reveals impacts in the trillions of dollars in lost earnings, avoidable public expenditures, and lost economic output.”

The Kellogg Foundation and Altarum Institute​

In 2011, DEMOS did a study named “The Racial Wealth Gap, Why Policy Matters”

“The U.S. racial welth gap is substantial and is driven by public policy decisions. According to our analysis of the SIPP data, in 2011 the median white household had $111,146 in wealth holdings, compared to just $7,113 for the median Black household and $8,348 for the median Latino household. From the continuing impact of redlining on American homeownership to the retreat from desegregation in public education, public policy has shaped these disparities, leaving them impossible to overcome without racially-aware policy change.”

“Eliminating disparities in homeownership rates and returns would substantially reduce the racial wealth gap. While 73 percent of white households owned their own homes in 2011, only 47 percent of Latinos and 45 percent of Blacks were homeowners. In addition, Black and Latino homeowners saw less return in wealth on their investment in homeownership: for every $1 in wealth that accrues to median Black households as a result of homeownership, median white households accrue $1.34; meanwhile for every $1 in wealth that accrues to median Latino households as a result of homeownership, median white households accrue $1.54.”

“If public policy successfully eliminated racial disparities in homeownership rates, so that Blacks and Latinos were as likely as white households to own their homes, median Black wealth would grow $32,113 and the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 31 percent. Median Latino wealth would grow $29,213 and the wealth gap with white households would shrink 28 percent.”

“If public policy successfully equalized the return on homeownership, so that Blacks and Latinos saw the same financial gains as whites as a result of being homeowners, median Black wealth would grow $17,113 and the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 16 percent. Median Latino wealth would grow $41,652 and the wealth gap with white households would shrink 41 percent.”

“Eliminating disparities in college graduation and the return on a college degree would have a modest direct impact on the racial wealth gap. In 2011, 34 percent of whites had completed four-year college degrees compared to just 20 percent of Blacks and 13 percent of Latinos. In addition, Black and Latino college graduates saw a lower return on their degrees than white graduates: for every $1 in wealth that accrues to median Black households associated with a college degree, median white households accrue $11.49. Meanwhile for every $1 in wealth that accrues to median Latino households associated with a college degree, median white households accrue $13.33.”

“If public policy successfully eliminated racial disparities in college graduation rates, median Black wealth would grow $1,313 and the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 1 percent. Median Latino wealth would grow $3,528 and the wealth gap with white households would shrink 3 percent. “

“If public policy successfully equalized the return to college graduation, median Black wealth would grow $10,786 and the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 10 percent. Median Latino wealth would grow $5,878 and the wealth gap with white households would shrink 6 percent.”

“Eliminating disparities in income—and even more so, the wealth return on income—would substantially reduce the racial wealth gap. Yet in 2011, the median white household had an income of $50,400 a year compared to just $32,028 for Blacks and $36,840 for Latinos. Black and Latino households also see less of a return than white households on the income they earn: for every $1 in wealth that accrues to median Black households associated with a higher income, median white households accrue $4.06. Meanwhile, for every $1 in wealth that accrues to median Latino households associated with higher income, median white households accrue $5.37.”

“If public policy successfully eliminated racial disparities in income, median Black wealth would grow $11,488 and the wealth gap between Black and white households would shrink 11 percent. Median Latino wealth would grow $8,765 and the wealth gap with white households would shrink 9 percent.”

“If public policy successfully equalized the return to income, so that each additional dollar of income going to Black and Latino households was converted to wealth at the same rate as white households, median Black wealth would grow $44,963 and median Latino wealth would grow $51,552. This would shrink the wealth gap with white households by 43 and 50 percent respectively.”

Now white racists can continue to lie to themselves or face the fact that our country is doomed unless shit changes and that means white racism must end or be reduced to a fringe element that has no role in decision making anywhere.

Do you think there's even a chance that the racists on this thread even read that no less tried to process it??

To continue off topic, the Jewish, by and large, voting for Democrats has always been a real conundrum to me. It is such a strange dynamic they they would vote against Israel(and for folks like Omar) and against success and entreprenuership. It is interesting that Orthodox Jews vote overwhelmingly Republican while secular Jews do not.

Yes, another topic entirely. It IS disturbing to many observant Jews that secular Jews would vote against their own interests, or support/defend antisemites such as Omar. I started a thread a little while back asking why Jews support the antisemitic BDS movement, and it got quite heated. Might dig it up again - it’s a couple weeks old - and see if there is anything new there.
