Theres zero merit to what hes saying. Then again i dont speak cac. Apparently you do. And thats fine. English is the only cac language im only interested in.

Prove it. You've been crying about that throughout the entire thread but haven't articulated a single, plausible argument to support your position.

No, you're reading too deeply into it. If he's blaming anybody, it's the government for providing individual welfare in the first place.

And why does he have to be a supporter of the welfare system because he is black? He can't have a certain viewpoint because of his race? That's real ignorance.

Ok, it's even worse. He's blaming the government and advocating for the lowest among us to bear the burden. Not to mention, ignoring the myriad other things the govt does worthy of blame and for which calling out would not burden the most vulnerable. And again, you can be black and have whatever view you want. But when you purposely ignore contributing racist factors because it doesn't fit your race neutral narrative, which is also your claim to fame as a black person, and the affect of what you want would literally kill your own people, you are the worst type of c00n.

What about his argument that the black family unit was in a much better condition post-slavery/Jim Crow as opposed to now where over 72% of black children are born out of wedlock? Do you not believe that the welfare system played a big role in that deterioration of the family unit?

White people are the main benefactors of welfare b/c they have a bigger population. Our population in America is 13% yet the numbers on welfare are extremely high. Breh I don't think you understand/know how to analyze statistical data.
WHY DOES IT MATTER that the Black communities welfare numbers are high, If white people are the PRIME BENEFACTORS OF WELFARE?!

BLACKS ARE NOT THE PRIME BENEFACTORS OF WELFARE, CRACKERS ARE. THE RACE WITH THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON WELFARE ARE CRACKERS.

CRACKERS MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ON WELFARE. THEY GET THE MOST BENEFITS FROM IT. NOT ANY OTHER RACE IN AMERICA.

I HAVE YET TO BE PROVEN WRONG.

Dude, no! Even if I did, I couldn't advocate ending it with the Prison Industrial Complex churning out father's who are incapable of providing. I mentioned this to your boy @acewonders and he casually brushed it off saying it was a symptom. A symptom, breh. As in nikkas getting locked up out here at rates multiple to others for stuff like drug use when we have equal rates of drug use as other races because of culture? Because welfare? Breh nikkas got 99 problems and welfare may be one but to target it as done in OP plays to the worst stereotypes racist white people have about us. That's not enough to get you c00n status, but breh is smart as fukk, I have read his shyt, so any oversight in nuance is intentional and self serving and will get me calling you a c00n.

Now you're being intellectually disingenuous, breh.

Yes, by sheer numbers, more whites are on welfare. This has long been conceded. But look at the PROPORTION of blacks on welfare to the total number of blacks in this country.

Moreover, even though whites are the largest group of people on welfare, whites in general have a very distinct social/political/economic history than we do and their economics reflect that. We are not in a position to use and rely on welfare as a means of survival when you consider the ground we must make up in group economics and educational/professional achievement. Although welfare is facially color-blind, you cannot deny that it has a disparate impact on blacks and ultimately further fractures our community and our stride to self-sustenance.

But you don't have the fukking answers either. You, @DEAD7 @OrdellRobbie @acewonders are talking about Percentage of a population on welfare.


EVEN THO YOU fakkitS say blacks have a higher proportional percentage on welfare, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT CRACKERS ARE STILL THE HIGHEST RACE OF PEOPLE TO RECEIVE WELFARE, EVEN THO THEY HAVE ALL THE WEALTH AND POWER.

Yall bringing deflections, I'm Bringing FACTS.

CRACKERS ARE A BURDEN ON THE TAX PAYERS BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREMELY HIGH NUMBERS ON WELFARE.

YOU LOSE. GO THE fukk HOME.

in america, when we are talking about MONEY, we are talking about SHEER NUMBERS, not fukkING PERCENTAGES AND PROPORTIONS.

if CRACKERS ARE THE RACE WITH THE MOST PEOPLE ON WELFARE, THEN THEY ARE THE BURDEN.

1. Sowell in the OP admitted that law enforcement is a big issue. His words: "It is the legacy of a liberal-left vision of the world and the policies based on it, both as regards law enforcement and welfare. Welfare alone has had an enormous impact."

2. Welfare inherently encourages the breakdown of the family unit. A woman receiving welfare/free housing/food stamps is penalized (if not displaced from welfare) if there is another adult (presumably a male/a father) capable of making additional income. In doing so, it promotes women being immoral---having children (more kids, more $$$) but cutting off those children's father(s). This definitely plays a big role in the destruction of the black family unit.

So you're going to miss the entire point of the discussion of welfare as it pertains to the BLACK community.......and go full retard in the process?



:dead:
