Yes, there IS white privilege

In some areas, of course there is white (aka Caucasian) privilege. Let me count the ways:

1. In murder rates, whites clearly come out on top. They have the privilege of being fewer victims
White on white murder rates are 16%. Black on Black murder rates are 97%.

2. 72 percent of all black children live in single family homes.

Only 19 percent whites live in single family homes.

3. Poverty rates show a white and an ASIAN privilege, in that white only families in poverty make up 8.6 percent of the country, same numbers for Asian families. The families with the highest poverty rates are American Indian and Alaskan native at 25% and blacks at 17 percent

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. As a result, their scholastic achievement is inferior to whites and Asians; their family unit is mostly single parent; their safety in their own homes and neighborhoods is compromised since blacks commit most violent crimes. And because of the single parent thing, blacks live in poverty at the highest numbers.

I don't blame blacks as a race for this. It would be bigoted and racist to suggest that. Had the Democrats targeted whites for the affirmative action, welfare, etc, whites would be at the lower end of this study as well.
There is white privilege and you can thank the Democrats for that.
There IS institutionalized RACISM, and you can thank the Democrats for implementing affirmative Action (which is the JIM CROW of the Seventies).

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

@Reason10 So how come the racial wealth gap was worse before the welfare programs?

@BohemianBabe It was not. The black family was INTACT before the Democrats destroyed it with the welfare state.

The biggest problem resulting from the Great Society is the breakdown of the black family. This is a sensitive subject, but one that must be broached to fully understand the devastating impact that the Great Society has had on the black community in the United States.

In 1965, when the Great Society began in earnest following the massive electoral landslide reelection of LBJ, the out-of-wedlock birthrate among the black community was 21 percent. By 2017, this figure had risen to a whopping 77 percent. In some cities, this rate is as high as 80 percent, with most of the unwed mothers being teenagers. We have documented extensively in our article on the death of civil society in the United States the negative effects of the single-parent household on child development and outcomes. The black community is now entering its third generation of single parenthood as the norm, something that rose astronomically with the advent of the Great Society.

To provide some historical context, the out-of-wedlock birth rate in the black community was already rising before the Great Society. In 1938, that rate stood at 11 percent. Still, it’s worth noting the difference between the slow and steady increase of 1938 to 1965, and the explosive growth from 1965 until the present day. In any event, black women were more likely to be married than white women as late as 1950. It’s also worth looking at single parenthood over time: In the 1950s, 52 percent of all black children lived with both parents until the age of 17. By the 1980s, that number had plummeted to 6 percent.

In addition to outcomes, there is also a wide divide between the percentage of black families in poverty when there is a father present. Among married black families, the poverty rate is 8 percent. Among black households headed by a single mother, that rate jumps to 37 percent.

And again, while we outline a number of negative consequences resulting from single-parent families, it’s worth pulling one out in relation to the destruction of the black family in America: There is no better predictor of male criminality than being raised in a fatherless home. 70 percent of all juvenile offenders in state reform institutions were raised in fatherless homes. This includes 60 percent of all rapists, 72 percent of all murderers, and 70 percent of long-term inmates.

The destruction of the black family unit is what caused the higher poverty and crime rates, as well as the failing scholastic standards.

Right now there is a LARGER racial gap than before the Democrat Great Society. There are school districts in California claiming math is racist because blacks cannot handle it. There are liberal colleges calling for black only graduation ceremonies and black only dormitories. The LEFT has always been responsible for racism and segregation. Left wing Democrat politicians (Lyndon Johnson, Lestor Maddox, George Wallace, Ernest Hollings, Robert KKK Byrd) have all been racists and segregationists.

The unelected Joe is a racist.

Out-of-wedlock births are up for all races. They're also up throughout the world. This is because it's become socially acceptable to have kids without being legally married. Nothing to do with welfare making people poor.

This article stupidly assumes every out-of-wedlock birth means a fatherless home, which obvi isn't the case.

Right now there is a LARGER racial gap than before the Democrat Great Society.
