Plenty of liberals I know want a better situation for black communities and don't infantilize them
One question.
When are black communities going to want a better situation for themselves, and act on it?
A black person who strives to do better is vilified in the black community. "Look at that Uncle Tom trying to act White."
Blacks get mad when murders, robberies, and rapes go unsolved in their community. Yet, no one will say anything. Even when half the community knows who did it.
They had blacks in a documentary about Compton that aired on the History Channel. One of them talked about how beautiful and peaceful it was when they were one of the first black families to move there. Now, it is a dangerous crime infested shithole. Who did they blame? White people.
No, we left. Blacks destroyed Compton...and Detroit....and Memphis...and...

Freedom (aka capitalism).
Free markets and economic advancement.
Marginalized communities can improve, but they never will without economic opportunity. They'll never get that economic opportunity while their pathologies are subsidized, defended, and protected.
Uh the old free market lie. We live in a capitalist country now so exactly how has that fixed the problem? Also, 60% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and a handful of men own 50% of the country's liquidity. Doesn't seem like that has worked out too well for impoverished communities. Just saying

If I took two twins and put one in an impoverished Community with an underfunded School and the other in an affluent house with a nearby highly funded School and a well-funded community, I would place a wager that the one in the better environment was going to have more success.
You're correct.
The problem is playing games in how we describe the "impoverished community" and the causes of why the 2 populations are so different.

So… things that minorities frick up or refuse to do is “white privilege” and not “crab bucket don’t want anyone to get ahead of them” horseshite?

Show your work on this.
I'm going to assume you mean wealth, and are referencing individuals with highly illiquid bases of their wealth.

How exactly did Joe Biden open the border question mark And I don't want you To go too far out of your way here but I would just love to know exactly Why so many Republican voters keep drinking that Kool-Aid period somehow the borders only a problem when there's a Democrat who's a president period literally the same border for my entire life but somehow now it's an even bigger problem. It's almost as if the Republicans don't have a platform so they have to spread propaganda to get you to vote for them and the Border seems like a pretty spicy option. Exactly what opportunities are being taken from working-class americans? We have some of the lowest unemployment we've ever had right now so it seems like you're being emotional again
Contender for most obtuse statement ever made here? I think so.
Read more, post less.

No, its a mixed economy.
Government influence makes it unaffordable for poor people. Competition makes things more affordable.
The poor are poor, not because they lack resources (Black America would probalby lead the world among black nations) its because their dollar has become worthless.

I wonder about the correlation between IQ and violent crime rate. We are aware that 2% of 13% = 50%+.

Honestly I think the free market argument is just as stupid as the Communist argument. Do you not remember the robber baron days? How about the stock market crash in the 1920s? Out of control free market capitalism creates just as much oppression but in a completely different way.

That's semantics. Whatever store of value you choose, it is still represented by the available money supply of the United States. Does that mean you're just not going to address anything I actually said?

Isn’t like over 65%. It’s shocking such a small group commit almost all the crime and our “leaders” are silent.

Forbes
According to this article, 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. So how exactly did those markets serve as a Salvation? It's so weird that so many people keep repeating these mindless points without realizing that every measurable result in front of your face disagrees with your assertion

Over half the kids in LA County Schools are functionally illiterate. Its a demographic time bomb waiting to go off.
As things become more unaffordable, black market opportunities rise which creates more criminals.
My guess, is the underground economy is about to explode and become one of the largest economic sectors for the working class.

Give me an example of handouts that Democrats like to give and how exactly it's subsidizes bad behavior. I would really love to know because I think today we might actually make some progress with some dumb old conservative talking points and how disconnected they are from reality

Doesn't really sound very underground in that case LOL

Ok cool. You're wrong, but that still ignores what you quoted.

I am not a vampire, so no, I do not.
But, if you mean, do I understand the historical context? Sure. That was the early era of industrialization and what moved the US from a backwater to international power. The SOL increased across the board.

Markets go up and down. What about it? That crash was a good thing. Remember hyperinflation of Weimar Germany?

Not at all.

No.
You said liquidity and not wealth. You're showing a complete ignorance of what paper-wealth from owning companies means. How does Bezos owning a bunch of stock he'll never sell affecting the poor in the US?
quote:

Again, you're not using the correct words.
It represents a discussion as to the overall wealth of the US. Much of that wealth is nothing more than numbers on paper and will never affect the money supply. The money supply is a different set of numbers on completely different computer screens.
Also, total wealth is completely malleable and can go upwards towards infinity. What does that have to do with your argument?

I don't think you understand what you're saying.
How is Amazon stock increasing in price affecting the poor or depriving them of anything?

I think we are seeing a change in minorities. Clay and Buck had a guest on explaining there is a growing generation of minorities that are extremely offended by the way the left uses them.
He said the old unwavering black Dems are dying off fast.
