So you're going to miss BUT BUTBUT BUTBUT


I'm done.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS AND YOU WANT TO DEFLECT.

ARE YOU QUITTING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PROVE ME WRONG?

IN AMERICA, TAXPAYERS CARE ABOUT SHEER NUMBERS. They are too dumb and don't care about percentages and proportions. AMERICANS WANT TO KNOW "WHO IS THE PRIME BENEFACTOR OF MY TAX DOLLARS."

Not which percentage of a population, WHICH POPULATION.

And the WHITE POPULATION at 77% are STILL THE PRIME BENEFACTORS OF WELFARE.


WHY DISCUSS welfare in the black community, WHEN ALL OF OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS ARE GOING TO CRACKERS ON WELFARE, when they have ALL THE POWER AND WEALTH?

  • I proved yall wrong about the CRACKER POPULATION, which I shut nikkas down on.
  • I'm bringing facts, and nobody Has provided a single link to prove me wrong YET.
  • I'm talking about the OVERALL BURDEN OF WELFARE, and fakkits are talking about percentages and proportions

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 he mentioned it. He didn't analyze it. The analysis was on welfare. I can't cosign a black intellectual analyzing welfare in a vacuum. Your analysis is incomplete if you begin and end there. I can only guess he did it purposefully. Makes him a c00n

Just because he chose to focus on welfare, it doesn't mean that he completely ignored law enforcement. Law enforcement speaks for itself: you do the time, you do the crime. And it's obvious that blacks have a difficult time with law enforcement.

I'm assuming he expanded on welfare because, as a black economist, he possesses more insight/knowledge about the ins and outs of that system and its economic impact on the black community.

I can't call him a c00n for his decision to focus on welfare or for his opinion.

If he's an economist and focused on welfare and didn't include other economic shyt like gi bill and red lining it also makes him a c00n. You know Wells Fargo is getting sued for redlining as of 2015 right? For what they did in 2008? SCOTUS about to get rid of disparate impact as applied to the Fair Housing Act I'm guessing cause racism is decreasing, right @acewonders? Why keep it you know? It's pretty clear what's fukking these ******s up is welfare. Smh

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?

it didn't.

there were many factors.

welfare and integration played a role in making group economics very difficult.

IF I WANTED TO ELIMINATE WELFARE, BUT I HAD TO DO IT ON A RACE BY RACE BASIS, would I start with the Race who has THE MOST WELFARE RECIPIENTS, AKA WHITE PEOPLE,

OR WOULD I CHOSE A PORTION OF A PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T EVEN USE THE MOST WELFARE?


These are all common sense questions NO ONE CAN SEEM TO ANSWER.

lol, calm down nikka.


but i agree and to answer your question... Yes, many white people are on Welfare. No , nothing is wrong with that because welfare is income based and depends on number of children -- no society that want to claim to be civilized will Do away with Social welfare programs.


and not only is Thomas Sowell wrong about the cause and effects of social programs in this nation...........

He is contributing to the stigmas associated with black and poor people. He is pushing the same IDEAS that Ronald Regan was pushing. the imagery of the 'welfare queen'.
(which everyone is thinking fat hood bytch with a bunch of kids who Gleefully wants the assistance so that she can get everything in life free)
The so called welfare queen represents less than 3% of cases -------- and half of those are white women. This only serves as a way to enforce white supremacy and to ignore the real cause of mass poverty, etc --------- which is early childhood education and Huge Wealth Gaps in this nation.

The majority of people on these programs aren't completely complacent. Some are just poor and struggling. Some weren't even born into realistic situations that would allow social and class mobility.
A few of these people will slip through the cracks - BUT regardless of race - we don't live in a nation that is built for mass class mobility.

Welfare is government support to get you on your own two feet to be a productive citizen.

White people in america, are the highest race that benefits from welfare. If they would allow BLACK people to be the highest benefactors of welfare, instead of the crackers that are now, would the black communities welfare be as high of a proportion as it is now?

OK, but maybe in his opinion (and this is likely the case), welfare impacts the black community more than the g.i. bill and redlining.

You're unnecessarily conflating the issue of whether welfare adversely affects the black community by introducing redlining, the g.i. bill, etc.
