Yes, there IS white privilege

Why are you people so obsessed with race. This sounds like a race baiting post here

I got one for sale..
never did me much good. Worked all my life. No concessions..

You can throw out all the statistics you want but somehow I doubt it is the state's fault that a lot of fathers skip out when the woman gets pregnant.
Just my opinion but I imagine that is the real root of a lot of their problems. Regardless of race, when a kid grows up without a father figure, that kid is more likely to grow up a bad guy.

Even if welfare IS more of a financial incentive than getting a job, that has nothing to do with dads skipping out.

EXACTLY.

And it doesn't take an Einstein to consider the possibility that the higher poverty rates - which drive all the other bad stats - could easily be due to racial discrimination.

And we can do more than consider the possibility - there's a large body of scientific literature showing how discrimination directly causes poverty; here's just one heavily cited study; more available upon request.

[quote] Experimental audit studies focusing on hiring decisions have consistently found strong evidence of racial discrimination, with estimates of white preference ranging from 50% to 240% (Cross et al. 1989, Turner et al. 1991, Fix & Struyk 1993, Bendick et al. 1994; ,,,

Statistical studies of employment outcomes likewise reveal large racial disparities unaccounted for by observed human capital characteristics. Tomaskovic-Devey et al. (2005) present evidence from a fixed-effects model indicating that black men spend significantly more time searching for work, acquire less work experience, and experience less stable employment than do whites with otherwise equivalent characteristics. Wilson et al. (1995) find that, controlling for age, education, urban location, and occupation, black male high school graduates are 70% more likely to experience involuntary unemployment than whites with similar characteristics ...

Oh yeah, let's not forget discrimination in policing. Lots of people smoke weed, but blacks are nearly 4X as likely to be arrested for it.

[quote]According to the ACLU’s original analysis, marijuana arrests now account for over half of all drug arrests in the United States. Of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010, 88% were for simply having marijuana. Nationwide, the arrest data revealed one consistent trend: significant racial bias. Despite roughly equal usage rates, Blacks are 3.73 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana.[/quote]

Any state that Black people reside in has nothing to do with them being in single/ nuclear family households. Not every Black person is on welfare and if they are, many use it as a way to get back on their feet so they won’t be on the streets.

Welfare is not only a thing in Democratic states as it’s also used in Republican states as well. Getting rid of government assistance programs like SNAP, TANF, etc. would negatively effected all families in need using its services regardless of their political stance. Affirmative action was put in place to ensure equal employment opportunities for applicants and employees for both minorities and women who were once discriminated/ denied work.

The Democrats have to keep minorities down! They wouldn't have a "base" otherwise!

I'll accept the idea of white privilege and systemic racism if you can,simply and clearly,answer one question:exactly how does the West Virginian coal-miner have it made in comparison,to,let's say,Beyonce?🤔

All valid points.
I will further suggest that the solution to these inequities in opportunity is not to continue with racist policies but to remove them thereby bringing everyone back to a level playing field.

[quote]To break it down, blacks have been the victims of the Democrat welfare state, which has broken up their families and put them in ghettos.[/quote]

Nope. The racial wealth gap started long before America had modern welfare programs, which actually lift people out of poverty.

You hit the nail on the head. Malcolm X figured it out a long time ago

White privilege is awesome I love it

There was a documentary on Amazon Prime called "Chicago at the Crossroads". I advise watching this. It sheds some light on the plight of the Chicago black community and how they got to where they are now. Well worth the investment of time.

What do you want like a free pass? Plenty of white people struggle and work hard.

That is the truth as much as people don't want to hear it or know it. You spelled out all of the facts and the democrats are mostly to blame for it.

Oh please, people are individuals, yes. But when you look at people in terms of groups different patterns arise from each. To deny this isn't reason, it's feel-good pc drivel

You wont blame race cause people are individuals, but also all whites are privileged

Government policies - Democrat or Republican - are well-meaning but foolish. I don't have right or wise counter-measures for dealing with the white/black/minority disparity in America. The hands off approach is best.

Government is expected to deal with citizens in need without distinction. We are all human beings, and those who have difficulty coping must have access to public support.

So explain to me exactly how making it easier for black folks to get jobs led to them living in poverty in single parent family units? Because it seems to me that would have the opposite effect.

Only the rich and powerful have privilege.

All lives matter.

Then why are there scholarships specifically for black students that never study to go
To college and job ms specifically designed for ethnicities to get hired if a white person went to
College without special privileges and worked hard not get the job

It's like you have a manual of nonsensical diatribes that you're cutting and pasting from.

There is also a higher ratio of white people to black people.

BLM is a complete scam
