Human Rights Violations

[Maxnovax]

Racism is a real big deal. It's costing this country money.

“It will end up costing the U.S. economy as much as $1 trillion between now and 2028 for the nation to maintain its longstanding black-white racial wealth gap, according to a report released this month from the global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. That will be roughly 4 percent of the United States GDP in 2028—just the conservative view, assuming that the wealth growth rates of African Americans will outpace white wealth growth at its current clip of 3 percent to .8 percent annually, said McKinsey. If the gap widens, however, with white wealth growing at a faster rate than black wealth instead, it could end up costing the U.S. $1.5 trillion or 6 percent of GDP according to the firm.”

Bad decisions is costing America.. we will soon cut ties with welfare

The future does not belong to nations that whine about "racism" Even REAL racism, although impolite and jerkish, is not a big deal. Who cares? Let's focus on what matters---greatness in art, science, and governance

Yes it does.

Since 2000, U.S. gross domestic product lost that much as a result of discriminatory practices in a range of areas, including in education and access to business loans, according to a new study by Citigroup. Specifically, the study came up with $16 trillion in lost GDP by noting four key racial gaps between African Americans and whites:

$13 trillion lost in potential business revenue because of discriminatory lending to African American entrepreneurs, with an estimated 6.1 million jobs not generated as a result

$2.7 trillion in income lost because of disparities in wages suffered by African Americans

$218 billion lost over the past two decades because of discrimination in providing housing credit

And $90 billion to $113 billion in lifetime income lost from discrimination in accessing higher education

White racism is the bad decision. Welfare is not the problem.

Well racist, there just aren't all that many fake claims. But there are a lot of racist whites like you with cognitive dissonance practicing racism while claiming it's fake.

The Commissioners also find a troubling pattern of creating false narratives and smear campaigns directed at victims and their families."

False narratives and smear campaigns against black victims and their families contrived and propagated by the racist right.

We see this from conservatives every time a black detainee is killed while in police custody – the vilification and demonization of that black detainee, accusing him of being a ‘thug’ or a ‘criminal.’

Racist conservatives will claim that the detainee’s killing was ‘justified’ because he might have committed crimes in the past or will likely commit crimes in the future; that if the black detainee wasn’t ‘guilty of something’ he wouldn’t have been detained to begin with.

Such is the evil of the racist right, to twist the truth and lie in an effort to excuse or mitigate the lawless killing of black Americans in police custody.

A link to a alt right racist website does mean shit son. Whites have been handed the most by this government. Alomost 1/2 of the white population in America today is living on homestead land. That was a free government handout that basically gave whites 500,000 each. So drop the dumb shit junior, you won't win this debate.

Wrong, homesteading was available to everyone, including blacks. Most blacks failed to take advantage of the opportunity. And there was nothing free about homesteading except the opportunity. Homesteading was hard, brutal, and dangerous, and not all homesteads succeeded.

Black Homesteading

The Homestead Act opened land ownership to male citizens, widows, single women, and immigrants pledging to become citizens. The 1866 Civil Rights Act and the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed that African Americans were eligible as well. Black homesteaders used it to build new lives in which they owned the land they worked, provided for their families, and educated their children. They built meaningful cultural and religious lives for their communities and governed their own affairs themselves—that is, they sought the full benefits of being free and equal citizens.

About thirty percent of black homesteaders filed on federal lands as individuals remote from other African Americans. They had to overcome severe challenges in the harsh climate just to survive. Many persisted and succeeded. They included Oscar Micheaux, who later became a novelist and the first great African American film-maker; George Washington Carver, whose long scientific career and many discoveries while at Tuskegee Institute are justly celebrated; and Robert Anderson, who failed on his first homestead claim but wound up building a prosperous ranch in Nebraska on 2,000 acres

Exactly. And we see these guys in here plainly denying these things while doing them.

Incorrect. I know you guys want to deny these things but I have studied this in a wee bit more detail. Many blacks did not fail to take advantage of anything.

If that is true, perhaps you can explain why the percentage of black homesteads was so low compared to white homesteads. If I had left out the word failed, would that have made the statement less offensive. You know blacks do fail. Blacks are people, and all people fail at one time; only supermen never fail.

Are you that obtuse?

When shown evidence, there is a consistent flow of excuses or attempts to justify the wrongs committed from part of the white American population. One major impediment for blacks concerning homesteading was the lack of documentation. Many states had literacy laws in place that made it a crime for blacks to be taught to read and write. Because of this, it should surprise no one those blacks would have difficulty understanding the legal terminology or process involved in land acquisition. After a lifetime of slavery, it should be noted that many freed blacks did not have the documents needed to prove their identity. Once freed, blacks were able to get the documentation after registering for citizenship, but that documentation was not always considered proof by whites. The inability to show documents proving identity made it difficult for newly freed slaves to file homestead claims.

"As early as 1865, certain white Southerners put legal obstacles in place to prevent ex-slaves from acquiring property. Magdol (1977) explains, In the provisional state governments under President Johnson’s protective leniency, planters not only prohibited black landownership but enacted extreme measures of social control that virtually restored slavery. The black codes struck directly at freedmen striving to escape their subordination and to obtain their communities. It was class and race legislation."

Freedmen also faced the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” attitude of the people their free labor enabled to live in such a comfortable delusion whereby they ignored how the government had been their bootstraps. During those times that was called the Free Labor Philosophy. The Free Labor Philosophy was a northern belief about labor.

“During a period where many citizens were given public land by the government, Blacks who wanted to be small farm owners had to pay for their land and struggle against obstacles that most of their White counterparts did not.”

As it pertains to the newly freed blacks, the northern whites in charge of the Freemans Bureau believed that blacks should earn the land they wanted by working to make the money to buy it. The northern whites believed that if the government gave the land away blacks would not respect work and would get used to living off the government. Sound familiar? Mind you, we are talking about people who worked from dark to dark 7 days a week for free for 246 years prior to the beginning of the bureau. This thinking was going on at the same time the government was giving away free land to whites.

This racism manifests in the devaluation of the freedom and liberty of citizens in black communities; just as citizens of color should expect police violence to be ‘normal,’ so too should incarceration be an expected consequence of being black in America.

What an incredible crock of shit. How could anyone with a brain believe anything that stupid? Do you even think before you post this fucking drivel?

And if you truly believe America is so horrible, why do you stay here? There must be SOME place you'd rather live. There are probably loads of people who'd be happy to pay for your plane ticket just so they wouldn't have to listen to your endless whining any more. Lol...

Shut the fuck up with that shit. Your ass cries every day about a government that has given you everything. If you don't like the first amendment, leave.

 

[Uncensored2008]

You are apparently talking about yourself.

Thank you for proving my thesis.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Needless to say, the racist right supports acts of violence by law enforcement against black citizens predicated on the racist lie that Americans of color are ‘predisposed’ to crime and lawlessness.

Such as the murder of Ashli Babbett?

Oh wait, that was the murder of a white woman by a BLM cop - and you cheered it.

I guess it's you who promotes raced based violence by cops.

 

[Uncensored2008]

I'd like to stick my scared foot up your white ass.

And if you'd lose 200 pounds you'd be able to get off your couch and try it...

 

[Uncensored2008]

Actually more whites commit violent crimes and more whites come into contact with police. More whites hold armed stand offs with police.

That's a fucking lie - as pretty much everything you vomit out is.

Blacks are 12% of the population (used to be 13% - how's that illegal immigration you support working out?) and commit 40% of the violent crime.

Whites are 63% of the population and commit 54% of violent crime.

That means a black man is SEVEN TIMES more likely to engage in violent crime than a white man.

You are a racist because you are scared of me.

Why are you a racist?

 

[Uncensored2008]

In order for conservatives to advance their agenda of hate as expressed by white grievance politics and racist replacement theory, black Americans must be vilified and dehumanized – depicting blacks as ‘thugs’ and ‘criminals’ is how conservatives justify their racism and hate and keep the Republican base frightened and going to the polls.

Who is it that makes blacks look like thug, Saul?

Just a suggestion, stop raping, robbing, murdering, looting, and burning.

People might just stop seeing you as thugs.
