Oh, there are plenty of disadvantaged and poor whites. We can help them.
Oh there are. That's not exactly what you said though, is it? You said "Advancement of White People", not advancement of poor white people. White people can't really advance much more, even with the poor people.
White people have 7% in poverty, blacks and Hispanics 25%.
The inner cities are full of whites and they experience the same problems as the other races. Because they are as lower rate, we are going to ignore them?
This whole line of discussion was meant to be satirical. There should not be Associations for one race without allowing others the same benefit. NAACP should be changed to the National Association of Poor People.
I didn't say you should ignore them. My point would be that poor people are poor people, no matter their race, and you should deal with poverty.
However in the US the govt isn't run for poor people, it's run for the rich, so the govt certainly thinks they should be ignored.
The NAACP existed because of a problem in US society. Slavery existed, Segregation existed, and even with both gone, black people aren't always on a level playing field. Okay, then they went off with positive discrimination, which I think is an idiot's way of avoiding dealing with the real issues.
Slavery and segregation once existed. It does not now. We have had Affirmative Action and now everyone are equals. It is up to the individual to make their own future.
And, the government
is run for the poor people. How many are making a career of welfare checks? And they are both black and white. The new Association should be part of the Welfare program, come in for classes and get your checks.
No, everyone aren't equals. People pretend this is the case, but it's just not. Black people have a 25% chance of being born into poverty compared to 7% for white people. White people are more likely to get a decent education. If you're poor, you're probably staying poor unless you're a genius or can play sport.
Hope is just not something in great demand.
One of the biggest problems is education. In Europe education is equal for all those who don't go to private school (more or less), having a good school doesn't depend on whether you have loads of money, it depends on whereabouts you live, and the difference in schools isn't always as great as in the US.
Also unions don't mess up schools as they do in the US.
Governments make sure that this is the case, they have much better teacher training, much better social responsibility.
In the US the attitude is "don't care, won't listen, just make money and feel important being a politician", and the two party system just makes this more so every year.
The US is falling apart.
