You rambled a lot, Curried. Your word salad is worse than Kamala's. I'll trim it down.
Just because racism and discrimination have diminished doesn't mean socio-economic disparities have improved. The real answer is more nuanced. Black Americans have made real gains in education, wages and poverty but not others such as incarnation rates, family wealth and home ownership. At the same time disparities in these areas between blacks and whites have in some cases expanded.
I'm glad you admit that racism and discrimination have diminished, as they certainly have. It fact for blacks, what legal racism still exists works in their favor as in Affirmative Action and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which are just excuses for legal racism against whites and blacks.
That being so obviously true, how can you blame racism and discrimination for the worsening of the plight of certain segments of the black community? When do you finally look at personal responsibility on the part of the individual? For you, I'm guessing never.
Conservative efforts to cut social welfare.
Welfare holds black people in bondage to the Democrats.
A problem for all races.
Tying public education funding to property taxes.
A problem for all races.
The lack of effort from white Americans to address the persistent wealth gap caused by generations of violence and abuse through reparations. Black disenfranchisement with American society. There are a lot of reasons.
So, the answer is that blacks are literally worse off because you don't get paid reparations when you were never a slave?
The improvements not only in Black Americans but in Irish Americans, who's IQ gaps to English Americans were similar to that of the black and white IQ gap today back when they were a marginalized group, and Asian Americans, who are widening the IQ gap between themselves and white Americans, shows how much environmental factors can play a role large swings of IQ averages.
Yes, I believe that it is nutrition, which is an environmental factor.
Doesn't change the fact that Black IQ is more than a standard deviation below that of American whites.
How in the world can anyone realistically expect equal outcomes, then? If it is environmental factors that affect IQ disparities, then we have to be patient and wait for a steady improvement in black IQ. If we try to force it, we will end up like Zimbabwe.
But again we are talking averages. I'll put my IQ against yours any day.
Yes, it is averages, and It is entirely possible that your IQ is equal to mine. You don't show it here, but I suspect that you drink a lot of rum while you post, so maybe you use your IQ more when you are doing whatever you do sober.
But we are also talking averages when we speak of disparities between black and white outcomes in economics, health, crime perpetration, and crime victimhood, illegitimacy, literacy, high school graduation, higher education, and all the other areas in which the average white runs rings around the average black. Same with light-skinned blacks and dark skinned blacks.
I note that Democrats only seem to promote light-skinned blacks for senior positions, which is a Democratic Party tradition that dates back to slavery. I'll let a well-respected black man explain it:
Which really does nothing to recognize that different traits and areas of knowledge adapt to fit cultural desires and goals. The knowledge needed to survive in an African tribal culture are different than the ones needed to survive in a European one. Europeans today would lack significant amounts of knowledge to survive in African tribal cultures.
Which has nothing to do with IQ. Psychologists have tried and tried to tie IQ to culture or some cultural bias in IQ testing and came up dry with every study.
My intelligence is impossible to deny, I deny yours because all you present to me are these Bingo arguments.
Your constant use of the word "Bingo" lends the lie to any claim of intelligence.
That whack a mole approach to law enforcement has not worked. We are not interested in throwing young, disenfranchised black men into prison for the majority of their adult lives with no care or concern about what becomes of them in prison. That's how you treat your people.
So rapists and murderers literally should go free because they are black? That's how you treat their black victims.
One, I think abortion should be legal up to the point of viability. Two, my argument was that no one is murdering or committing genocide against black babies. Pregnant black women are choosing to seek out abortions, proving that these pregnancies are unwanted. Stop being a Bingo.
The babies are not choosing to be aborted.
No. Immigrants like my family who come to this country typically have more wealth than Black American families. We are able to buy homes which is the largest vehicle for growing wealth in the middle class. These are things Black Americans have not only not been able to do but have actively been prevented from doing for centuries through physical violence and social and economic discrimination.
How did you get the wealth? In Jamaica? No, here in the states, like my ancestors did when they came to this country with nothing. No one said to your family, or you "no, you cannot come to the U.S. as an immigrant and become wealthy. Only whites can do that!" You were told that only in your fevered imagination.
Power is derived in a number of ways. There is physical power such as the violence and brutality that slavers and segregationists used to enforce their regimes.
Damn Democrats!
That doesn't matter any more those day are long gone in this country. Racists like you don't even have the strength to admit you're racist let alone the strength it takes to committing to the sort of violence imployed by slavers and segregationists. The sort of violence that would be necessary to ensure white demographic and cultural hegemony.
That you credit slave holders as having "strength" tells me everything I need to know about your support for the Democratic Party.
So I understand what you mean by "racist," is it racist to recognize the differnce in black IQ and white IQ? Is that a "racist fact?"
There's the economic power the wealthy use against the poor to keep wages down and taxes low. They use their access to capital to buy up land and resources and politicians who they use as servants in their pursuit of more capital.
And blacks cannot do that, because . . . ?
Which brings us to political power. Large swaths of white voters, both Democrat and Republican, through their ignorance, apathy and bigotry have allowed the economically powerful to treat the politically powerful like the hired help. It does not need to be that way.
How have blacks done it differently in Black-run countries?
The problem is too many white voters have been raised on the propaganda of natural rights to property and wealth and the supposed virtues of free market capitalism.
Because the evidence of that is all around. Look at the massive immigration we have
from countries that do not have natural rights to property and wealth and the vitues of free market capitalism.
To conservatives and libertarians the solution to the wealthy corrupting government is to free the wealthy from any and all government shackles. The market will decide as if it is a natural force as impartial as gravity rather than a system designed by capitalists (people with capital) themselves.
That's how the northern states of the U.S. became wealthy manufacturers who provided opportunities for all. Replacing the plantation master with the government as owner of slaves won't do that.
It is not and we shouldn't treat it as such. Nor should we treat disproportionate levels of wealth and resources as a natural right. They are not. Natural rights don't exist and belief in them is stupid. Wealth is function of society and society has every right (if it chooses to) to regulate it.
Those blacks who succeed and become wealthy will not want to regulate themselves back to the middle class so that their low-IQ brethren can feel better about themselves.
Why do I have more faith in Black and Brown voters? We weren't raised on that same propaganda. My first memory of thinking politically was my Jamaican grandfather ruminating on the hilarious irony of American acting as the world's police on nuclear proliferation while at the same time being the only country to have dropped an atom bomb on another nation.
Was that before or after you flight to the United States?
You servile cucks just weren't brought up to question your own biases and perspectives.
Why should we? What we're doing is working for us. Do what we do and it will work for you, if you stop asking to be carried by ******.
Do you mean socially and economically? OK. Good for them. They're also increasingly less likely to vote for Republicans so I appreciate allies where I find them.
I know. You are a pure partisan, who doesn't give two shits about black people, like any other Democrat.
