Very succinct and straight forward;

5 - The Victim Mentality
4 - Lack of Diversity
3 - Urban Terrorism
2 - Proliferation of Baby Mamas
1 - Unwavering Loyalty to So Called Progressive Policies

I'd argue victimization is what enables 1-4.

I thought diversity meant black people?

Honestly, a big one has been left out.

Political irrelevance.

Sure, that may seem to not be true since race is talked about all the time.

But, at no point in my adult life has the black vote ever been in question.

Hence, NEITHER party actually gives a frick what they think.

1-5 : men in the home, taking responsibility for their family. Mother and father together forever.

White community is slowly losing this too, it’s not just a black problem. You can look at almost every negative stat in any community and the bad stats are always higher when it’s a bunch of single moms with no dads to be found.

That has to be the most concise way I've ever seen it put.

Victimization is the cancer. One of my militant victimization fb hotties posted some meme a couple of days ago that black folks could go to Africa and found companies that were becoming Fortune 500 companies within 5 years. And she was buying it hook line and sinker. Victimization spawns out of ignorance, it’s truly sad to see, and it keeps the hate flowing.

I've brought this up.

Blacks primarily stay in the South and vote Democratic.

The issue is that since most of the South votes Republican and are whites are the majority, the Black vote has little power on a national level. It struggles to hold weight at the state level.

This is the main reason why Republican politicians can get away with saying what they want about Blacks, because they know they dont have to answer to them.

Dems are on the opposite side, they should hold accountable to their base, but because of blind Loyalty they dont have to fulfill their promises.

This cuts both ways and hurts both sides. Red states in the South have a hard time keep businesses, let alone attracting them. This has been discussed ad naseum.

Because the only thing Southern conservatives focus on is social conservatism not economics. A strong economy is the best way to fight progressive policies not lectures.

I saw this video a long time ago and its been one of my favorites to reference since then. I would challenge any black democrat to watch this video and some of Prager's other race related videos and not come away with a new perspective.

It should be noted that these 5 issues are researched and well cited, and presented by black conservatives.

When has a republican politician ever even said blacks commit crime at a disproportionate rate? Never happens. And it is a fact. I really want to know what republicans are saying about blacks, that they will never have to answer to. I am dying to know. They can’t even say straight up facts because their career would be shot down by whiny figs

I would like to know where this large amount of unemployed Blacks who are on welfare are. Seriously, who are these people.

My entire life I've always seen Blacks working. The largest group of employed Blacks were in urban areas Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, etc. That is because cities have more jobs available than small towns.

My problem with Prager U (as noted by Uncorrupted Report) is that they are only look at one side of the story. I agree that Baby Momma situation has gone way out of control.

Black areas even in the red states are governed by Dems. Look at Texas for instance, most blue voters are in the urban areas where blue government officials are despite everywhere else being red, save for the border where...illegals are participating.


Look at Cali, their entire state is dominated by the politics of inner city LA and San Francisco.

Do you work? It would stand to reason that you only run into those you commonly surround yourself with and don't really see the rest often enough to consider.

You know how prevalent gangs are in most large cities? 99% of the members are "unemployed" and make their money through the gangs themselves and illegal means. If you're not a drug user / purchaser, into illegal firearms, or happen to live in the area, you won't really come into contact with them.

I work. I made the assumption that many of these people were in a situation where they had to migrate to find work.

As for the living conditions, I lived in Cenla for most of my life. Relatively country part of the state. So I never dealt with gang violence.
