What can republicans do for blacks?

[rightwinger]

In the thirties most Americans accepted the idea that blacks were inferior in sports, oh blacks could box but could not play football or baseball like whites. The evidence, was pretty overwhelming, a black college player was indeed rare, and the pros had absolutely no black players. Blacks simply could not compete in either college or pro sports.

Why do you leftists bring up ship from 50, 100, 200 years ago to try and make a point about something going on today?

Why do Republicans have to bring up events from 50 years ago to find a time when they actually gave a shit about blacks?

 

[rdean]

It's not what Republicans can do for blacks, it's what Republicans want to do TO blacks.

 

[Boss]

It's not what Republicans can do for blacks, it's what Republicans want to do TO blacks.

Free them from the plantation of Democrat dependency and allow them to be successful?

 

[Boss]

Why do Republicans have to bring up events from 50 years ago to find a time when they actually gave a shit about blacks?

Because Democrats bring up events from 50 years ago to somehow claim Republicans are racists.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

It's not what Republicans can do for blacks, it's what Republicans want to do TO blacks.

So tell us: what do Republicans want to do TO blacks?

 

[Ame®icano]

Really ? Ok let's throw an example out . Public schools . Do you think all public schools
Are equal?

Yes, all public schools within the same school district are equal.

 

[rightwinger]

All politicians lie when they say they have solutions for the historic problems of race in this country.

of course that BS. Republicans have the solution: Republican religion, family values, schools, and a booming Republican economy.

Do you understand??

I understand that you are a one dimensional cartoon character whom I occasionally use as a prop for my remarks.

typical liberal too stupid for substance reduced to ad hominem argumentum!

of course that's BS. Republicans have the solution: Republican religion, family values, schools, and a booming Republican economy.

Do you understand??

When have Republicans ever had family values, balanced a budget, helped our schools or led a booming economy?

 

[Liminal]

No doubt about it, all the social experimentation has been a failure. Programs designed to help black folks have raised up motivated individuals, but haven't elevated the culture as whole. And what we also know for sure is that no politicians of any political party have any actual solutions to deal with fundamental causes or the subsequent repercussions. All politicians lie when they say they have solutions for the historic problems of race in this country.

Actually blacks did much better years ago, but people only remember segregation and discrimination. But during that time, the black families stayed together and out of wedlock births were almost unheard of. They stayed out of prison and tried harder.

But then came liberalism.......................

I certainly wouldn't argue the point that family is the most important social institution. But I'm not sure how you can separate the history of pervasive segregation and discrimination from the overall experience of black folks.

stupid illiterate liberal has no idea that the black family was more intact than the white family during the post civil war era and that black teen unemployment was less than white teen unemployment in the 1950's.

Liberals should be suicidal and the near genocide they have caused.

Please be quiet. You no longer serve my purpose.

Just cut their chains and set them free......so good to see a comprehensive detailed solution.

 

[Liminal]

Because Democrats bring up events from 50 years ago to somehow claim Republicans are racists.

Both parties use race to their own advantage every day.

 

[Boss]

That's right, you win the prize. Thank you for helping to substantiate my point that black folks have only been treated as full citizens for less than fifty years.

far more importantly, they have gone downhill in that time thanks to the near genocidal liberal programs.

In the 1950's black teen unemployment was less than white teen unemployment!!

Yeah, blacks long for the good old days of segregation ! Lol!

Holy shit do u guys really believe this stuff ?

The only people who long for "the good old days " are rich white guys . Cause back then they could drive drunk , beat thier wives , harass women, and treat minorities like garbage with impunity .

Black Self-Sabotage
By Walter Williams

If we put ourselves into the shoes of racists who seek to sabotage black upward mobility, we couldn't develop a more effective agenda than that followed by civil rights organizations, black politicians, academics, liberals and the news media. Let's look at it.

First, weaken the black family, but don't blame it on individual choices. You have to preach that today's weak black family is a legacy of slavery, Jim Crow and racism. The truth is that black female-headed households were just 18 percent of households in 1950, as opposed to about 68 percent today. In fact, from 1890 to 1940, the black marriage rate was slightly higher than that of whites. Even during slavery, when marriage was forbidden for blacks, most black children lived in biological two-parent families. In New York City, in 1925, 85 percent of black households were two-parent households. A study of 1880 family structure in Philadelphia shows that three-quarters of black families were two-parent households.

During the 1960s, devastating nonsense emerged, exemplified by a Johns Hopkins University sociology professor who argued, "It has yet to be shown that the absence of a father was directly responsible for any of the supposed deficiencies of broken homes." The real issue, he went on to say, "is not the lack of male presence but the lack of male income." That suggests marriage and fatherhood can be replaced by a welfare check.

The poverty rate among blacks is 36 percent. Most black poverty is found in female-headed households. The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits since 1994 and is about 8 percent today. The black illegitimacy rate is 75 percent, and in some cities, it's 90 percent. But if that's a legacy of slavery, it must have skipped several generations, because in the 1940s, unwed births hovered around 14 percent.

I love Dr. Williams. He says, "blacks should be grateful for slavery!" ...paraphrasing, he points out that he is grateful his ancestors were sold into slavery because he would have never been born in America otherwise.

Another great black conservative is Thomas Sowell. He is one of my favorite conservative authors. But you see, these great conservative people we're talking about are called "tokens" by some. I think that is an interesting unfounded accusation to make.

I think those people make the accusation of "tokenism" because of their guilt in knowing what they actually do in practice every day. When they form their committees and groups, they have to include a certain 'token' person. If they have a party at their home, they will invite a "token" person so people don't think they are prejudiced. When they pick up their kids from daycare or ball practice, they will converse with a "token" person or let their kid go to a "token" party so they can run around feeling good about themselves. After all, they are certainly not going to go put down a mortgage on a home in a "token" neighborhood, are they?

No doubt Jews should be grateful for the Holocaust, so they could be born in Israel.

It doesn't matter if events are from 50 or 100 years ago... Republicans always cared about the blacks, since the beginning of the party.

At the other hand, Democrats were ALWAYS on the wrong side of the issue, from slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, KKK, CRA, HUD housing, AA, you name it. Add to it, hands up, don't shoot, Black lives matter, still on the wrong side.

Democrats, not Republicans are keeping blacks down.

Liberals loathe self-made black people like Williams, Sowell, Cosby, Thomas and so on. Say something about a liberal black and you're a racist. When they knock people like Carson or Cain, it's because of their ideology and thoughts.

I think that one of the most fortunate things that ever happened to me is being born in this country. That may not have ever happened without my ancestors before me.

 

[Boss]

Just cut their chains and set them free......so good to see a comprehensive detailed solution.

Both parties use race to their own advantage every day.

First of all, this is not entirely about parties. It's about plans, programs, visions, ideas, real and fake problems and solutions. It's about black people who somehow still march in lockstep with a political party that has never done what it promised for them. One which, historically, has 'stood in the schoolhouse door' and prohibited them from accomplishing anything.

And these phony white liberals like Hillary Clinton who will pander to them, promise them the moon and stars, then look them in the eye and lie to them about why it wasn't achieved. But they'll elect and reelect the $%#@ because she's got a ******* (D) by her name!

You cannot "fix" the wealth disparity problem or economic class problem by making the lifestyle of that group more comfortable. I wish that you could. Really, I do. I am a compassionate guy... I don't wan't for people to suffer and do without... it sucks! I've had to do it before and I didn't like it none too much. But you see, the human condition requires some discomfort in order to motivate. Otherwise, we are complacent and content. So we have to think about this in a more pragmatic way than our emotions lead us to. If we want to solve the problem, that is.

We have to motivate people at the bottom. They need an incentive and motivation to achieve. Hand outs are not beneficial because they lack any sort of motivational quality. But this has become known as "helping people" when it really helps no one.

There was a program we had back in the 90s under either Bush or Clinton that I kind of liked. Empowerment Zones? I think it was phased out but I really thought it was a good idea. I would like to see more stuff like this that actually HELPS the poor communities than all of this national pandering an posturing over race relations. I'm sick of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, I am sick of watching black communities devolve into anarchy and burn down cities.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

What police brutality? If you don't listen to police, bad things might happen regardless of what color you are. If you attack a police officer, bad things are guaranteed to happen. Hands up--don't shoot is a lie by the leftists.
