The late Walter Williams was an economic and he was an American patriot. Btw thanks to Ray From Cleveland for bringing this man up I’ve looked more into him and he had a lot of great things to say…. Such as in this 1988 video from C-SPAN where Professor Williams debated another man professor Ronald Walters … The video includes callings from American citizens. It was back in 1988 but the conversation was similar in many ways to the conversations we have in America today. This was a productive debate a productive conversation no yelling or screaming ….just a great conversation between two men.




Williams brought up the fact that when it came to African-Americans their divorce rate was much lower in the American Past…. there was actually a time from 1890 to 1940 when the black American marriage rate was higher than that of the white American marriage rate.

The out of wedlock birth rate for African-Americans was considerably lower in the 1920s and 1930s than it is today.

Two parent household for African-Americans was very high in the American past now today many young African-American boys and girls are raised by one parent often one hardworking mother due to a deadbeat dad. There’s nothing worse than a deadbeat dad. And we should have laws in this country that sends those types of men to jail.

The middle class was stronger for Black people and white people throughout the early and middle of the 20th century.

The divorce rate for white Americans was also incredibly lower in the American past. Church attendance was much higher for Black people and white people in the American past.

Starting in the 1970s and 1980s cocaine and the crack cocaine epidemic ripped apart inner-city communities across the country ….and it negatively affected Black people and white people as well. Not much has been done on that front because we still have these types of lethal drugs cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine this poison is being sold to young children and grandmothers all across the country …and its time once and for all that we do something about it.

Slavery is in the past nobody can change history. White people were slaves and Black people were slaves when it came to history. The reparations argument makes no sense therefore.

In short we can learn so much from our ancestors the white people the Black people who built America in the 20th century. They worked incredibly hard they worked long hours at the steel plant the auto plant, as taxi drivers you name it ….and all these middle class jobs were plentiful back in those days for people right out of high school or even if they dropped out of high school.

What a better country this country was in the American past…. and that is paying homage to the men and women of all colors who made this country great , that is called respect for our elderly folks for our ancestors.

What are you talking about man. Wikipedia makes no mention of that whatsoever. I also googled it and there’s nothing. So what did Walter Williams go to jail for? Was it a civil rights protest? Post it, post a link or rescind your post please.

Donald Trump didn’t commit any crimes. You’re trolling big time in this thread.

i was thinking of Walter Lee Williams, a different writer

 
How can that be ..looks like you got caught . You got multiple personalities you’re trolling all over the forms. I hope you can get the help you need brother.
you're the one that needs help. making a simple mistake (which i'm sure you've never done before) is not the same as trolling...and FDR? how about having an idol who is not from the Stone Age, grandpa?

Williams would have been right in 1988 because the damage had already been done by then, which was racism that caused America's race problem.

If Williams had been arguing in Canada or another country he would have been wrong. Equal opportunity and equal rights to non-white people in Canada forever ensured that we wouldn't experience the same problems!

Proof of that is in this very topic you've created, in which you refuse to accept the obvious. And Americans have no intention to change it, other than trying more police violence against non-whites, that will never work!

Donald the issue is racism was always a worldwide issue. When there were black slaves there were white slaves…not addressing this is a fatal flaw in your argument. Another issue is not addressing the facts black Americans and white Americans had a stronger middle class in America’s history….

I respect Canadian history, I believe it was Canada that produced the founder of republic steel. You ought to respect American history.

Thanks to Ford motor company and united auto workers for example. ….Black folks had equal opportunities at the workplace for much of the 20th century. There was a time in the 1920s when black workers at Ford Motor Company doing the same job as white workers made a few pennies more per hour than did the white workers.



We had a better family spirit, we had higher church attendance in America’s history. Less kids were born out of wedlock
in the American past. There were many more two parent household‘s among white people and Black people in America‘s history.



I will never buy this insane view that America is built on racism and imperialism. That is crazy. We live in a global world …. America is not the only country in the world

The outcome has been different with non-whites in Canada. Does that prove anything to Americans?
We had a better family spirit,
Now American blacks have a much worse family and life experience than they do in Canada. That's your argument! It really is a bad situation in America!
we had higher church attendance in America’s history.
Did that contribute to America's problem or did it lessen the problem?
Less kids were born out of wedlock
Now America has lmore non-white kids born out of wedlock than in Canada.

And now in America there are many less two-parent families in America and that's a big factor.

You don't have to buy anything I'm selling, but you do have the big difference between Canada and America to somehow deal with. Our non-white people aren't a problem that approaches anywhere near the problem that exists in America.

Or would you like to change sides on your talking points. If not then you're going to get nothing but agreement from me!

What did America do wrong to make the race situation as bad as you claim it to be?
 
Nope blacks self destructed own their own when took a bite from the marxist apple.
What do you think caused America's blacks to bite the Marxist apple?

Why didn't Canada's blacks bite the Marxist apple too?

As I told you in the past, your black population is only 5%. Blacks that are severely outnumbered are usually not much of a problem. It's when they start becoming a majority in cities and states where they are a problem.

So what do you want police to do with criminals, let them go? Just look at Chicago. Laurie Lighthead instituted a policy that police can no longer give foot chases to criminals unless they get permission by their supervisor first. How did that work out?

Police only get violent with suspects that get violent with them first. Why don't you start blaming them for their own actions instead of other people for their actions?

Why didn't Canada's blacks bite the Marxist apple too?
The counter culture stuff of the 60's had mostly bad stuff hidden inside. That was when marxists infiltrated, under the guise of civil rights, and indoctrinated blacks that being Christian, getting good grades, speaking good English, getting married then having kids, etc was acting "white" and that is bad.

Relative to Canada my guess is the black population was very small. It's grown due to your immigration policies. But relative to the counter culture stuff it happened in Canada just like the USA.

Well it didn't and isn't in Canada so maybe we got all the good cuhlud people and America got all the bad. I dunno?
