Black poverty declined because of welfare checks. Black unemployment declined because of affirmative action programs that lowered employment standards for blacks.

Round and round we go.

Hector: "Blacks can't make progress because they are inferior"

Sensible People: Blacks are making enormous progress since the Civil Rights Movement

Hector" "that's only because of Affirmative Action!"

The reality is, Affirmative Action only makes up for white privilege. That's it, buddy. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[JoeB131]

Blacks have a crime rate that is nearly eight times the white rate. Rehabilitation is rarely effective. The only factor that reliably reduces recidivism is age.

Yes, when people get older, they stop doing dumb shit.

This is why I get so aggravated with my brother. He did a lot of dumb shit when he was younger, but today he's one of these "Blue Lives Matters" idiots who just love, love, love the police. But he was white, so he never really faced any serious consequences. My older sisters kept bailing him out. Today he chalks that up to "I was going through some stuff because of Mom and Dad" (Our parents died when he was 17 and I was 19)

Funny, I was going through the same stuff. And despite all that I managed to get a college degree and serve my country in the US Army.

Yeah, you can get your sorry ass kicked for being a racist douchenoodle for telling malicious lies like this... and you totally deserve to.

Force is on your side. Facts are on my side. Eventually whites and Asians will get tired of making excuses for Negroes. Then force will be on my side, as it was before the civil rights movement.

No, guy, they really won't.

Here's the reality... Asians are starting to realize that the racists aren't their friends. They realized that when after they got rid of quotas, thenumber of Asian enrollments DROPPED at Ivy League schools.

nytimes.com/2024/09/17/us/yale-princeton-duke-asian-students-affirmative-action.html#:~:text=Asian%20American%20enrollment%20dropped%20to,from%2026%20percent%20at%20Princeton.

Asian American enrollment dropped to 29 percent from 35 percent at Duke; to 24 percent from 30 percent at Yale; and to 23.8 percent from 26 percent at Princeton. At the same time, Black enrollment rose to 13 percent from 12 percent at Duke; stayed at 14 percent at Yale; and dropped to 8.9 percent from 9 percent at Princeton.

To comply with the court’s decision, colleges did not allow their admissions officers to see the boxes where applicants checked off their race or ethnicity until after students had been admitted, the waiting lists had been closed, and the students had actually enrolled.

But in one of the most enigmatic parts of its decision, the court allowed admissions officers to consider race if it came up in the student’s personal essay as part of a narrative about something meaningful in the student’s life.

Ah, Hector, once again, trying to put a smiley face on his sad racism.

How do you define "racism?" How does your definition fit me?

 

[Hector12]

The reality is, Affirmative Action only makes up for white privilege. That's it, buddy. Nothing more, nothing less.

Affirmative action lowers standards for Negroes and raises them for whites and Asians, discriminating against them.

Affirmative action does not create opportunities, it takes them from those who deserve them, and gives them to those who those who do not deserve them.

There are three reasons the crime rate declined after 1980. You acknowledge two of them, but you refuse to recognize that abortion was also important, because you dislike abortion.

I say again: Abortion was ALWAYS legal in New York.

Roe v. Wade literally had ZERO impact on New York and its birth rate or its crime rate.

 

[g5000]

Blacks have a crime rate that is nearly eight times the white rate.

In the 1960s, 42 percent of blacks were below the poverty line while only 8 percent of whites were below the poverty line.

Crime has more to do with poverty than race.

Our justice system is also heavily biased against blacks.

I have lived with poor Vietnamese war refugees. I would sometimes get off work at 10:00 pm and walk three miles to get home through a largely Vietnamese refugee neighborhood. I was perfectly safe. I would not be safe walking through a black neighborhood that late.

What does that have to do with anything?

 

[JoeB131]

belief that one race is better than another... Clearly defines you.

What kind of loser walks three miles to get home?

 

[Hector12]

Yes, it does.

I am a white Gentile. By criteria I value Orientals are better than whites. They tend to be more intelligent. They have lower rates of crime and illegitimacy. I also admire Jews because of their high IQ averages.

I have never known an Oriental I did not like. The few Jews I disliked were not observant, so I did not consider them to be authentically Jewish.

I have known to many Negroes I liked to hate the entire Negro race. I have had too many experiences with black criminals to have illusions about it. No white person, no Oriental, and no Hispanic has ever committed a crime against me.

Someone who likes to stay in shape.

ah, yes, the "Good Minority" fallacy.

I have never known an Oriental I did not like. The few Jews I disliked were not observant, so I did not consider them to be authentically Jewish.

Then you admit Jew is a religion and not a race. The only Jews I've liked are the non-religious ones. Because they are less likely to have that sense of entitlement.

I have known to many Negroes I liked to hate the entire Negro race. I have had too many experiences with black criminals to have illusions about it. No white person, no Oriental, and no Hispanic has ever committed a crime against me.

Again, Jews, whites and Hispanics haven't had 400 years of systematic oppression.

Anyone who whines about Crime went to sleep the night before with a full bell in a warm bed.

Someone who likes to stay in shape.

IF you were in shape, you shouldn't be shitting yourself every time you encounter a black person.

 

[Hector12]

ah, yes, the "Good Minority" fallacy.

It is not a fallacy. Orientals really are the model minority.

 

[Hector12]

Then you admit Jew is a religion and not a race. The only Jews I've liked are the non-religious ones. Because they are less likely to have that sense of entitlement.

Judaism is both a race and a religion. Anyone of any race can convert to Judaism, but most Jews have DNA markers that point to Old Testament Israelites.

 

[Hector12]

Again, Jews, whites and Hispanics haven't had 400 years of systematic oppression.

Jews were persecuted for nearly two thousand years. This culminated in the Holocaust. You have gloated about both.

Intelligence is mainly determined genetically. I almost wanted to say that what whites did to American Negroes 400 years ago did not affect them genetically. Then, I remembered that the behavior of white slave owners is the reason that American Negroes have IQ averages of 85. The average for African Negroes is 70.

 

[Hector12]

Anyone who whines about Crime went to sleep the night before with a full bell in a warm bed.

Crime is no excuse for crime. It is not even an explanation. Poor Orientals, many of whom I have lived with, have low crime rates.

 

[Hector12]

IF you were in shape, you shouldn't be shitting yourself every time you encounter a black person.

My last karate lesson was several decades ago. Now I carry pepper spray. I have used it to thwart four black muggers. I think of pepper spray as my Negro Repellent.

Unless a young black man I do not know is obviously dressed for work or church I take precautions I do not take with young whites, Orientals, or Hispanics.
