As you have been shown, everything you say is untrue.You mean once Democrats started buying votes with taxpayer money Blacks became firm Democrats...right Winger? So how has that REALLY worked out for the average Black person living in our big cities? Is their life better than it was before? Safer? Or have liberal policies turned vast areas of American cities into wastelands unfit to live in?Blacks started to migrate to Democrats under FDRYes, blacks were republicans for 100 years. Then they nominated Goldwater and that was the lat straw.Republicans had the black vote for 60 years.Now you're just a dumb ass. For you to actually believe that shows you have a supreme mental disibility. If the republican party offered something better we'd vote republican. You motherfuckers are trying to make it harder for us to vote and you're trying to tell us that stale ass lie you right wing racist punks repeat every day. Why in the FUCK would I join a party full of white USMB members?Yet you continue to vote for the very people like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer who keep you poor...Notice how you gasoline prices have gone up, sure isnt making you rich, notice how the taxes are going up, sure isnt making you rich...I used to feel sorry for the poor, but when they vote for the very people who keep them poor, i just laugh at their stupidity...Facts!"In the late 1800s, depending on the city, 70% to 80% of black households were two-parent. Dr. Thomas Sowell has argued, “The black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.”
The Social Security Act of 1935 created the Social Security program, state unemployment insurance, and assistance to single women with children. Today most Americans love the program. However, when the act was signed, the law was made to exclude occupations that were mainly occupied by blacks. When President Roosevelt signed the law, 65 percent of blacks in America were ineligible. So for years a majority of blacks were excluded from social security savings and could not get unemployment.
Time out! Hold up! Whoa! Let’s take a short break from the action to talk about the assistance to single women with children part of the Social Security Act. Title 4 or IV of the social security act of 1935 called for grants in aid to be provided to each stated as Aid To Dependent Children. “ For the purpose of enabling each State to furnish financial assistance, as far as practicable under the conditions in such State, to needy dependent children, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, the sum of $24,750,000, and there is hereby authorized to be appropriated for each fiscal year thereafter a sum sufficient to carry out the purposes of this title. The sums made available under this section shall be used for making payments to States which have submitted, and had approved by the Board, State plans for aid to dependent children.”
This was welfare folks. Assistance for single moms with children without daddy at home. In 1935. Blacks were excluded. Seems that Sowell is unable to point this out and in fact this is part of long tradition of taking care of poor single parent white families.
Aid to Dependent Children or ADC (later renamed Aid to Families with Dependent Children, AFDC) was Title IV of the Social Security Act of 1935. At first it functioned mainly to provide federal grants to help the states maintain their mothers’ aid laws that had been passed in 40 states between 1910 and 1920. With the federal government providing 1/3 of costs, the program offered aid to poor parents, imagined at that time to be always female, caring for children without a husband.
The ADC plan was written by the former directors of the U.S. Children’s Bureau in the Department of Labor, Grace Abbott and Katherine Lenroot. They lobbied hard to get this program added to the Social Security bill, which was aimed at male breadwinners, reflecting the masculinist assumptions and composition of the Committee on Economic Security (CES) that wrote the bill. The Children’s Bureau’s goal was to provide aid to all children whose mothers lacked the support of a breadwinner, no matter how they got to that position.

From the time of the Childrens Bureau until 1965 no one talked about how the welfare state was wrong and subsisided the disintegration of the white family.

In 1938 During this time of great black 2 parent family morality, the poverty rate for blacks was 80 percent. In 1959, it was 55 percent.

Now stop lying about why gas prices are going up and stop lying about taxes. The only people working to make us poorer are republicans and we would be extremely stupid to support the Anglo Saxon Heritage Caucus.
Then they sold them out for the southern conservative vote
Why? Because his programs helped them.
They supported JFK for the same reason
Once LBJ passed Civil Rights legislation, Blacks became firm Democrats and Republicans scrambled to recruit disgruntled white racists
And the fact that these government programs have been growing for over 50 years now shouldn't be a concern, huh.NoAre Black people supposed to live their lives depending upon government programs or at some point become like every other citizen?You do realize what the Great Depression was don’t you?You mean once Democrats started buying votes with taxpayer money Blacks became firm Democrats...right Winger?

FDR centered recovery on helping struggling people rather than struggling corporations. That included blacks
How have blacks in the Big City done under Democrats vs what Republicans offered them?
Much better with urban enterprise zones, education programs, jobs training, healthcare, food and housing programs
What have Republicans done for inner city blacks other than build more prisons?
But in the US we help people who need helping
Wrong and strong like the dunce I expected you to be.I didn't say anything about MLK's assassination Jackass.

No it doesn't . You made the standard comment white racist trash makes anytime black say something that rebukes their racism.

It is really time whites on the far right stopped. You are not fooling anybody with your garbage. We blacks know what King stood for. Those my age and those younger are charged by their supreme sacrifice not to let down, quit, sell out, or turn into Uncle Tom’s to be accorded our rightful place in this society. That means we control the economic, social, and political environments in our community. The day has come to demand economic equality, which is the basis of all equality in a capitalist system. That is what Rev. Martin Luther King was moving towards when James Earl Ray showed the content of his character on April 4th, 1968.
"At the very same time that America refused to give the Negro any land, through an act of Congress our government was giving away millions of acres of land in the West and the Midwest, which meant it was willing to undergird its white peasants from Europe with an economic floor."
"But not only did they give them land, they built land grant colleges with government money to teach them how to farm. Not only that, they provided county agents to further their expertise in farming. Not only that, they provided low interest rates in order that they could mechanize their farms."
"Not only that, today many of these people are receiving millions of dollars in federal subsidies not to farm, and they are the very people telling the black man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps. And this is what we are faced with, and this is the reality."
"Now, when we come to Washington in this campaign, we are coming to get our check."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
No one backpedalled you sorry piece of white trash. What I said was that if we just took what we have lost in income since 2000, it would be $56,000 each. But that doesn't cover the other losses since that time, nor does it recoup the lost tax dollars blacks have put in the system since 1913 at minimum that went to programs and policies we were excluded from. So Marc doesn't have to shut up, but perhaps you should.MLK was fighting for reparations. That's why the racist conservative whites had him assassinated.You are a disgusting Racist.
The very kind of Racist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called out in his "I Have a Dream" speech.
How much will make you whole? Can you assign a dollar amount to it?
You're gonna' need to, because if you believe there's just going to be some never-ending stream of money landing in your bank account, you're fucking high.
At one point, IM2 said it was $56,000. When I asked him he would shut the fuck up if the government gave him such a reparation, he backpedaled.
You negroes want reparations? Fine. Give us a number or, for the love of all that's holy, shut the fuck up...

Honest conversation is needed on all fronts. No matter who it hurts. Single payer as an idea is not bad. Single payer as an expense may be the worst in the world because we are corrupted as a nation.

However, when the act was signed, the law was made to exclude occupations that were mainly occupied by blacks. When President Roosevelt signed the law, 65 percent of blacks in America were ineligible. So for years a majority of blacks were excluded from social security savings and could not get unemployment.
Time out! Hold up! Whoa! Let’s take a short break from the action to talk about the assistance to single women with children part of the Social Security Act. Title 4 or IV of the social security act of 1935 called for grants in aid to be provided to each stated as Aid To Dependent Children. “ For the purpose of enabling each State to furnish financial assistance, as far as practicable under the conditions in such State, to needy dependent children, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, the sum of $24,750,000, and there is hereby authorized to be appropriated for each fiscal year thereafter a sum sufficient to carry out the purposes of this title. The sums made available under this section shall be used for making payments to States which have submitted, and had approved by the Board, State plans for aid to dependent children.”
This was welfare folks. Assistance for single moms with children without daddy at home. In 1935. Blacks were excluded. Seems that Sowell is unable to point this out and in fact this is part of long tradition of taking care of poor single parent white families.
Aid to Dependent Children or ADC (later renamed Aid to Families with Dependent Children, AFDC) was Title IV of the Social Security Act of 1935. At first it functioned mainly to provide federal grants to help the states maintain their mothers’ aid laws that had been passed in 40 states between 1910 and 1920. With the federal government providing 1/3 of costs, the program offered aid to poor parents, imagined at that time to be always female, caring for children without a husband.
The ADC plan was written by the former directors of the U.S. Children’s Bureau in the Department of Labor, Grace Abbott and Katherine Lenroot. They lobbied hard to get this program added to the Social Security bill, which was aimed at male breadwinners, reflecting the masculinist assumptions and composition of the Committee on Economic Security (CES) that wrote the bill. The Children’s Bureau’s goal was to provide aid to all children whose mothers lacked the support of a breadwinner, no matter how they got to that position.

From the time of the Childrens Bureau until 1965 no one talked about how the welfare state was wrong and subsisided the disintegration of the white family. It was seen as essential assistance needed to help women without husbands who had children. Only when the law required that others be included did the story change to how the welfare state was wrong and destructive.
As late as 1950, only 18% of black households were single parent. From 1890 to 1940, a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults. In 1938, black illegitimacy was about 11% instead of today’s 75%. In 1925, 85% of black households in New York City were two-parent. Today, the black family is a mere shadow of its past."-Walter Williams
In 1938 During this time of great black 2 parent family morality, the poverty rate for blacks was 80 percent. In 1959, it was 55 percent. These sky high rates of poverty occurred during the time these fools rant about the black 2 parent family. Today due to the " liberal welfare state breaking up the black family by giving them welfare" black poverty is half of what it was in 1959 and more than 1/3 of what it was in those grand old glorious days of the two parent black family.
Blacks afflicted with Internalized racism repeating bs from Daniel Moynihan should not be taken seriously in any discussion on matters of race in America.

Black Americans' biggest problem remains racism via government policies and culture from the dominant white society.
Now stop lying about why gas prices are going up and stop lying about taxes. The only people working to make us poorer are republicans and we would be extremely stupid to support the Anglo Saxon Heritage Caucus.
Then they sold them out for the southern conservative vote
Why? Because his programs helped them.
They supported JFK for the same reason
Once LBJ passed Civil Rights legislation, Blacks became firm Democrats and Republicans scrambled to recruit disgruntled white racists
FDR centered recovery on helping struggling people rather than struggling corporations. That included blacks
How have blacks in the Big City done under Democrats vs what Republicans offered them?
Much better with urban enterprise zones, education programs, jobs training, healthcare, food and housing programs
What have Republicans done for inner city blacks other than build more prisons?
But in the US we help people who need helping
I KNOW that everything you have is due to legislation.No it doesn't . You made the standard comment white racist trash makes anytime black say something that rebukes their racidm. You never talk that content of character shit when you post your racist bullshit innthreads with other whites. Keep Dr. Kings name out of your mouth you racist piece of shit because you are being judged by the content of your character. You have shown us that tge content of your character is racist.I didn't say anything about MLK's assassination Jackass.MLK was fighting for reparations. That's why the racist conservative whites kill had him assassinated.
My point still stands.
So until you start telling the other whitehere to follow Dr. King, you can kiss the innermost moistest part of my ass.
You're the whiniest, most ignorant negro I've ever encountered.
You think I have what I want because of the government. I happen to know otherwise.
But, you know what? Fuck it. I'm done arguing with your monkey ass. I have a really good life. I own three homes. I have six cars and four motorcycles. I own a 51' Viking Sportfisher. I own two successful companies. I'm not "rich", but I'm in better shape than most people I know. And I'm going to throw all of that into your fat monkey face every chance I get.
I'm a better person than you. I do more for others than you could possibly dream of. I donate more money to charitable causes than you make in an entire year. One of the charities was for underprivileged kids in Jacksonville; making sure they have everything from meals to school supplies. And, yes, the charity aids, almost exclusively, black kids. I'm going to stop donating to that, though, simply because I know it's something you would be critical of.
All you do is fucking whine. I counted seven threads you started in which all you do is fucking whine. Whine, whine whine. You're the personification of everything that's wrong with the colored community in this country. You want it all, but you're absolutely petrified by the fear of actually having to work for it.
Fuck you.
