Stats are bullshyt. Black families haven't had 80 per cent threshold for two parent households since the 30's. Ex.
"In New York City in 1925, 85% of kin-related black households had two parents" Wikipedia

Also, before anyone trashes Great Society Programs from the 60s, the Black poverty rate declined by 25 percent.

I remember @Barnett posted some stats about this, Black people weren't better off back in the days, matter fact you can't really point to a time in American history where Black people had it good.

Motherfukker still aint posted no source of these so called stats

I could post a image that says 100% of asians suck dikk and sniff panties out a vending machine whereas only 85% did in 2000

LMAOO

How is it fair that Millionaires & Billionaires don't pay their fair share of taxes? Hard workers like my parents for 40 years didn't sit on their ass all day.

What the fukk is 'fair share'? Who defines that term? How is this quantified? Why should millionaires/billionaires give up anything? If a billionaire decides to engage in philanthropic work then it should be done by his own free will not compelled by a state body.

Why do you instill a great deal of trust in government to manage tax revenue appropriately?

And finally, when you have a system where successful people are penalized then guess what? No one wants to be successful. No one will want to aspire to greatness. No one will have ambition. You will have an environment which will foster a perpetual state of stagnation.

What's interesting is if you compare two parent households rates in South Africa and the US for Black people.

Migrant labour (by design or by the structure of white supremacy) forced Black men to leave home, thus straining homes. Extramarital relations and broken marriages became more common as men became migrant labourers/porters etc in the early 20th century.

On top of everything else. :francis:

Ah yes, because high taxes on the wealthy in Scandinavia has created societal decline. :mjgrin:

Fair share is putting your fair share in and getting it back. We are discussing pure greed which has hurt our economy.

I would really question this 40% number. Where is this coming from?

:wow:

Cause in this game we had a chance
But we blew it for cheap thrills and romance
Maybe one day we’ll get another play
But until then remember what i say

Argue. Don't just post a video out of laziness. You can't deny that tax rates across Scandinavia are higher than in America and that their quality of life is better. Not just a correlation but a causation.

Defend your hyperbole about decommodification and higher tax rates causing economic decline in the Global North

Yeah, the men were leaving the rural areas to work around the cities and weren't allowed to bring their families with them so that's your broken marriages right there (even though broads would become intrigued by city life anyway and would end up leaving the rural areas, that's when townships started to pop off)

Even the music muthaphuckas would play and listen to reflected migrant labour; they'd use instruments that are easy to carry around cause they had to keep moving

I think baseball is the best way to look at whether the end of segregation was truly beneficial

back in the day there was a Negro league where we could get our own shine.

They finally let brothers into the NBL then The Negro League suffered & totally shutdown.

Fast forward to now and theres barely any brothers playing baseball.

What he never should've done was abandoned what we created in the first place.

That goes for our Businesses, Banks, HBCUs, companies etc.

But we won't realize it until its too late.

This is thecoli.com. Where we discuss "Sports, Hip Hop, and Piff". Not exactly the type of place for serious economic and philosophical discourse.

Don't just post a video out of laziness.

Laziness? or convenience?

You can't deny that tax rates across Scandinavia are higher than in America

Who's denying that? Of course the tax rates are higher.

and that their quality of life is better.

That's debatable but okay.

Not just a correlation but a causation.

Are you saying that they have a better quality of life.....because of their higher tax rate? That doesn't make sense.
