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).

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.

@Puppycat23 You put it quite well. The welfare programs are well-intentioned but the impact on the black community has been devastating owing to the manner in which they are administrated to prevent freeloading. There is no way around this. Blackor white, we have to pay the mom even if the no good dad is in the house lying on the couch all day long.

@Puppycat23 This thread doesn't suggest getting rid of welfare. It merely suggested, QUITE ACCURATELY, that Democrats aimed welfare at the black population for the sole purpose of buying their votes. In the process, the Democrats DESTROYED the black family unit in America and created EVERY ghetto in the country.

@Reason10 So what about white people or latinos as some of them rely on welfare as well. Idk why you guys always focus on Black people anytime the topic is about Democrats. How the Black family unit was destroyed is complex and a lot of it isn’t due to welfare.
