Poor people, in general, are impacted by liberal social policies such as transfer payments. Not due to their color, but rather, their economic CLASS. At the time social policies or liberalism/Great society programs went into high gear, the consequences of racism had already rendered blacks 3 times poorer than whites. Hence, poor people were drawn to liberalism as a relief from poverty and racism created disproportionate poverty among blacks. In other words, if liberalism is the cause then what was the cause that rendered blacks disproportionately liberal? Answer: Racism. Its like.....yeah.....being hit by a car was the cause of my injuries.....but you pushing me into the street was the cause of me getting hit by the car.
Black culture is "African Culture". All culture is learned by its practitioners. Black people in America do not speak African languages, black people do not dress in traditional African clothing, black people do not practice African rights of passage, black people do not practice African religions, etc, etc. Of course, there are exceptions to these rules, but that is the rule. Hence, black culture in America was learned from whites in America. Blacks learned it from what you exposed. The white culture showed blacks the bad side of white culture....and that is what we picked up. Why do you think we call each other the N word? That did not come from Africa.....aka...black culture. That word came from white folks and we mimicked it. Blacks that immigrate to America with TRUE black culture....do much better than blacks whose culture was leaned from watching what white folks did to black folks over the centuries.
Prolonged exposure to white culture, for black people, is like prolonged exposure to radiation. It creates bad mutations.
Oh for f*cks sake...can you tie your own shoes without crying?
What a crock of nonsense. Why not just go ahead and nail yourself to a cross while your at it?
Perhaps you should listen to Martin Luther King, the real MLK...one rarely quoted...
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”.... (Or like you - just blame everything on ******)
"I come tonight to plead with you, to believe in yourself and believe you are somebody. Nobody else can do this for us, no document can do this for us, no emancipation proclamation can do this for us, ... no civil rights bill can do this for us, if the negro is to be free he must reach down deep into his own resources and sign with the pen and ink of self assertive manhood and declare his own emancipation proclamation!
No I cannot tie my own shoes without crying as long as you get to define the definition of both "shoes" and "to tie". To you, the simple scientific methodology of cause and effect is turned into "crying", "whining", "blaming" etc. You seek to take something LOGIC and make it debatable by turning the debate emotional. Whether I am crying or cannot tie my shoes (by your definition), I am not being illogical in suggesting that every cause produces an effect and that every cause is itself an effect of something else, in the temporal continuum of actions begetting reactions. You don't want to touch that logic....because you cannot, thus you obfuscate, deflect, use ad hominem, etc. Your response is not unpredictable. Rather, its rather sophomoric, if not juvenile (you see....I responded to your emotions with my emotional characterizations of your response. That is how you want this to play out....because emotions are void of logic).
To your point in the bold. Whites don't want that. In the abstract what MLK is suggesting is BLACK UNITY and blacks targeting and discriminating to lift up blacks. I tend to totally agree with him. The problem is.....however....white folks. As soon as black folks have Black commencements, black TV shows, black beauty pageants, Black this or black that.....white people cry foul and ask....."why can't whites have white only things". "Why can't white people discriminate in favor of white people if blacks can target blacks to help blacks". We have been there done that. You all fear BLACK UNITY and try to destroy it because, like MLK said, it will help to pull us up....which you do not really want because without someone inferior......how are you going to feel superior?
" The problem is.....however....white folks."
You're partly correct.
" The problem is.....however....white folks....who are Liberals."
1. After the Civil War, blacks embarked on the same journey as immigrant groups...and Irish...the most discriminated against group....took generations to get to where they are today.
But they had this advantage:
2. "It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived."
Coulter
3. Liberals destroyed large groups of blacks making that journey by changing the rules for them:
Carter-appointed judge Norma Shapiro “ is one of the worst offenders among that influential cadre of federal judges who have substituted the ACLU's prisoners' rights wish list for the Bill of Rights and have trifled with public safety concerns. …single-handedly decriminalized property and drug crimes in the City of Brotherly Love….And in the past 18 months alone, 9,732 arrestees, out on the streets on pre-trial release because of her prison cap, were arrested on second charges, including 79 murders, 90 rapes, 701 burglaries, 959 robberies, 1,113 assaults, 2,215 drug offenses and 2,748 thefts….Activist judges such as Shapiro and Justice assert that prison crowding violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishments. But there is no empirical evidence to substantiate this assertion. In every study of the subject, the widely believed negative effects of crowding - violence, program disruption, health problems and so on - are nowhere in evidence.”

a. In 1992, black youths were nine times more likely to be murdered than white youths. Liberals lied, black kids died.
4. Blacks are just as capable of climbing the social ladder, but the 'help' by Liberals has restricted that climb.
See if you understand it based on this fact:
"...females are several times as numerous as males among blacks with high IQs. "
Witty and Jenkins, "Educational Achievement of a Group of Gifted Negro Children," Journal of Educational Psychology, vol. 25, p. 593.
They inherit the same genes, are raised in the same homes and neighborhoods......
explanations rest on the culture, the excessively 'macho' roles of males associated with and emphasizing certain sociopathologies....'sympathetically' advanced by Liberals.
The smartest Democrat, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, had it right when he suggested 'benign neglect.'
