>>98579474>if you herd people into ghettos for decades (the natural result of legal discrimination from 1865-1965), they'll be more prone to crime, and, thanks to general desperation, less productive too.Except poor whites have lower crime rates than rich blacks. And when considering the logistics of running a society, the impact of different demographics having different economic effects is more important than how it came to be that way. For consideration, the average white person contributes more in taxes than they receive in government benefits. The average black or latino person receives more in services than they pay in taxes. If everyone in the country had the net budgetary effect of the average white american, the deficit would disappear. As demographics shift, the prospects for either balancing the budget or maintaining effective services becomes poorer.
>Yeah, try working your way up from a slum when the schools are terrible and other paths out are deliberately blocked by trolls like YOU.Chinese immigrants came to the US later than blacks, and started with less than the freed slaves had at the time. They climbed the social strata and now east asians in the US are on average more successful than whites. Likewise with Jews fleeing worse persecution in Germany than blacks ever had in the US. In the US, one is almost guaranteed to get out of poverty by doing three things: graduating high school, having children only inside a marriage, and getting a job. Suppose I'm a white troll trying to keep uppity minorities down on behalf of The Man. How would I orchestrate the high rates of high school dropouts, unwed pregnancy, and unemployment that currently exist among african americans? Note that single motherhood, the single strongest predictor of poor life outcomes, has gotten much higher in the US black community since 1965. These are choices that individuals are responsible for, and denying that infantilizes blacks.
