When there is a ~5:1 ratio of whites: blacks, numerically there should be more poor white people, unless the poverty rate is 5x that of whites: then they'd be even. So, that point you are making is that maximally, blacks can be at a poverty rate 4.9x higher than whites. Also your first question is that wealth is concentrated to relatively few. I'm saying there's no demonstrable evidence that racism is the sole cause of black poverty. Its a belief. A false belief. There are other factors. And ignoring these other factors inhibits addressing the problem. 1

Don't go out of your way to say that, numerically, more whites are poor than blacks. That's purposefully misleading. 43 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: i once read a fascinating study looking at socioeconomic status from generation to generation which statistically proved by far the number 1 indicator of poverty and crime was two parent households vs not.

The narrative peddlers won’t touch this … they can’t. They can and you can too. You can research the institutionalized racism that has propagated American systems and it's impact on minorites. We can talk about 'redlining,' Plessy v Ferguson, the Greenwood District in Tulsa, OK, or really any other laws legislated by white males for their some benefit (don't be so naive to believe that laws aren't written to benefit the legislators or their coffers). It is my opinion that there has been an assault on minority family structure. The war on drugs, again in my opinion, was a thinly veiled assault on minorites because it hurt white people. Just like the opioid epidemic wasn't a big deal until it started hitting white families. These are my opinions, and others can disagree. 1

My family had relatives subjected to prison camps and genocide in the time frame your speaking about, lost everything. Talk about being marginalized. 12 minutes ago, nkreed said: family structure. Yes - the liberal agenda to undermine family structure has been a direct cause of poverty and crime. We agree on this. It’s the single biggest predictor of crime and poverty, irrespective of race. 15 minutes ago, nkreed said: The war on drugs, People make it out like a bunch of racist politicians invented the drug problem as a reason to pick on minorities. Maybe it was a nonissue, but it seemed to me that the proliferation of crack went very badly for everyone. 19 minutes ago, nkreed said: opioid epidemic This has everything to do with political corruption and big pharma 1

Why are people so full of hate? What??? Doesn’t that describe Trump and this thread describe perfectly? Trump is a racial leader He's radical only in that he will not follow the status quo & goes against every thing those in DC (the Swamp) stand for ! Because he has been a very shrewd business man & 99% of those in DC are life long politicians/lawyers living on BS promises they can't keep with a agenda & Trump went against the majority of them ! That is why he is radical because he wouldn't conform to what the swamp wanted him to but seeing as what has transpired since he was voted out in comparison to who's there today i'll take him as the lessor of 2 evils because this guy now in office is part of the problem & not a business man at all !!
