Are you going to ever respond to this? or are you going to Troll?
To answer your question, Welfare is a burden in the black community because of WHITE SUPREMACY.

WHITE SUPREMACY has posters saying Welfare is a problem for people who don't even use most of it, while white People who are 77% of the population, are benefactors of welfare.

WHITE SUPREMACY allows Whites the ability to hog the resources welfare provides to make their race more productive citizens.

WHITE SUPREMACY allows whites to use rhetoric about proportions to deflect from the real problem (white supremacy)



@SuperCoolP_Cal are you gonna ignore the simple questions I asked you?

Or Can we just end this now and I hand You an L as well?

Focus on an inconsequential anecdote and go ham, brehs...:heh:

I thought he was zeroing in on how welfare crippled many black people's incentive to work and provide for their families while simultaneously breaking up the black family unit.....but ok.....

This question has been asked multiple times, and answer has not been provided, so perhaps you can satisfy it effectively --- why did welfare only cripple black people's incentive to work? Welfare is available for all, so why didnt it simply cripple the American work ethic as a collective?

Furthermore, America offers the stingiest social service packages and support for the lower middle class and poor in the industrialized world. Why hasnt social welfare crippled the world and the western European populace --- again only the black American somehow per your theory.

You're doing it again. You're shifting goalposts.

I've consistently said that welfare has had an adverse disparate net impact on the black community. I never said that it only adversely affected black people. I argue that welfare compounds the adverse effects of systematic racism on our community and further fractures the black family unit.

Reading comprehension. Get some.

Thomas Sowell is an ideologue tool used to demonize liberal policies by attacking the group that makes the best target when policies need to be demonized. He can cloak himself in intellectualism all he wants, but he is just a polished version of Allen West and countless Toms that came before him.

But none of that invalidates what he said.

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.

I'm not conflating shyt. I disagree with him. This arguments a tempest in a teapot. I'm offering these other issues because in my opinion they affect the black community much more than welfare.

Moreover, his argument is circuitous as fukk. It's not welfare directly, it's welfare when introduced to ******s. Because everyone has access to welfare it's the ******s that use it to do nothing else. And why is that Thomas? Because ******s have a shyt culture. It's a two off crap shoot and I'm sure he's happy to be the one or two c00ns arguing it so he can be their tap dance monkey. Most serious intellectuals wouldn't blame culture for 33 to 1 white to black millionaire ratio. They'd look at overt policies that directly prevent wealth accumulation. I mean, what's a good economist doing delving into the muck of social science and speculating about a peoples culture or ethic? Redlining is right up an economists alley

First thing the broken family structure in the black community does affect us more than the G.I. Bill and redlining arguing against like I said is ingenuous and makes me think do some of ya'll really live around black people.
Second thing the G.I. Bill is long gone, that is literally crying over spilled milk; people need to stay on the topic of the OP.

He didn't do a catch all attack on welfare read the OP and watch the video in OP, he mentioned welfare in context of encouraging detrimental behavior (such as being a single mother with no skills or employment but still having children, social consequences of boys growing up with no father in the home) and the myth that the black families have always been broken. He attacked Helen O'Bannon and she responded "I can't make them be single mothers", to which he responded "No, you simply subsidize it".

A lot Inner city/urban black folks do have a shyt culture, when more than 70% of your children are growing up in a broken home, something is definitely wrong with the culture! If that offends you then we can't even come to an agreement, cause you nikkas busy being offended by a truth rather than work to fix it. We already established welfare affects blacks the most dues the percentage of blacks on welfare so it's doesn't even make sense to try and compare our situations to other races, especially when you factor in things like Housing projects which aren't counted in most welfare statistics.

You don't even have the requisite knowledge to know all the letters of the alphabet (never basic statistics and complex sociological issues) yet you're talking about handing out Ls. :russ:

Go watch sesame street, kid.
So instead of answering, you are trolling thank you for exposing yourself.

Now are you gonna collect this L or not?

Except he rarely flat out attacks black people, his message is usually more like "Historically blacks are strong, blacks are survivors, now we can go back to this if liberals keep their mitts off our communities". Sowell coined the term "Black Excellence" long before Jay-Z and Kanye

Dude isn't a fukking c00n, he just feels a lot of the ills blacks face is because our family structures, he's been preaching this for decades. He rarely even talks about blacks if it's not related to the family structure. He mentioned getting blacks more and better education all the time, because when a black educated male and a black educated female make a family they usually outperform their white counterparts.

Thomas Sowell goes to bat for black students consistently, dude has even said he doesn't care if black students go to college and form views opposing his, he just wants blacks to be educated period.
