Good word. I think Americans are trying harder than ever to not to not be prejudiced and very few people are truly maliciously racist. There is definitely a malicious movement to convince the country that racism, sexism, xenophobia is worse than ever, while the opposite of this is true overall.
The one exception is that there is a growing number of talking heads in liberal media and government that say the opinions of straight white men don’t matter as much because of their “privilege.” That’s disturbing, but this idea only affects the retarded, entitled people who want to be heroic victims of social injustices. It’s a fricking mental disorder.

Weird, black people had stable families until the Civil Rights Act and war on drugs.
Government forced equality has been awful for poor black folks.

Jim Crow Laws ensured that even if you had qualifications, many places wouldn't hire you.
I'm not saying their wasnt a limited job market, but its disingenuous to say the racist policies didnt play a huge role. You could go as far as saying Jim Crow created artificial limitations on the market.
I agree we need to monitor social programs. But we have more black professionals today as a share of the total black population than ever before.

There was actually a black economy during Jim Crowe, which all but died after integration.
Not saying integration should never have happened but it hasn't been as kind to those of lower status.

Yup and Blacks were happy during slavery. Singing all day and stuff. Sounds like fairy tales to me. Every demographic has suffered breakdown in the nuclear family since the 1960's. It's called "no fault" divorce. That's a moral issue not a civil rights issue.
But to make some argument that Blacks had access to equal education, home ownership, and investment opportunities- the things that get people out of poverty- until the 1970's is ludicrous. I am not even going to get started with the criminal justice system. I know better than this and I'm some cracker that grew up in a trailer court.

Sound like you are saying "Our Niggra's are happy" Black people were cheated out of the things that make stable families and create wealth until well into the 1970's. It seems like to me the people who complain about back people now are the same people who were dead set against integration and civil rights 50 years ago.
That’s not even remotely close to what he said. What you are saying is actually pretty close to what he said. I’d like to hear your ideas for how to make it right. Mine is the government should financially reward marriage and not single parenting. Win-win for all.

It's retarded to resort to hyperbole just because you refuse to accept fact.
The war on poverty has decimated the poor people in every racial demo, but mainly black.
The single biggest predictor of success isn't race, it's whether you're raised in a single parent home.

Which is why the Japanese have way more immigrants than European countries.
Oh wait. They don't

Good paragraph but clean up the part in bold. It is an inaccuracy that weakens your otherwise solid view.
There were black doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors, researchers, etc. Blacks had rights but opportunities were much more limited, especially in the Deep South. Many economic and societal standards have gone backwards since the Great Society was enacted. Handouts cripple.
Fair enough. There were successful people back in the day. The path for a black doctor was 100x harder than the path for a white doctor during those days. I do agree with the handouts portion. That has severely limited the community. But overall, I don't know a singlr person who would rather grow up in the 50s as opposed to now.

This. It's an incredibly consistent predictor.
That's one of the reasons I take fatherhood so seriously. Aggiebelle does a great job. I have to do my part for my son. It's not an option for me to do anything less if I want him to be successful.

It was definitely more difficult for black folks than today, as far as opportunity goes.

Even though you're a girl (
), you can probably understand that the very basic economic rules essentially say, to increase behavior, reward it and to decrease the behavior, penalize it. We say we don't want illegitimate births yet we reward those doing it. Of course you are absolutely correct about rewarding marriage. We should pay 'them' to NOT have kids.
I'm through addressing folks who try to argue like that guy. I said nothing like what he suggested and he brings up slavery etc.... Just stupid.
Hope you are well.

It's not hyperbole. You were trying to act like Black people had it made before they could vote or go to integrated schools or get decent jobs. Sorry for busting your bubble.

Try reading up on No Fault divorce and how it has contributed.
Thanks for proving my point that every group has had a breakdown in the stable family. Trying to link it to voting rights, integration, and social programs is just silly.

wut?
I guess you're suggesting that there just aren't any reasons for the breakdown of the stable family? It's just a random occurance?

The whole point of Jim Crow was to limit the job market for minorities. I remember my parents talking about how certain professions used to be a "White Man's job" and that was 30-40 years ago.
