During the nine decades between the Emancipation Proclamation and the 1950s, the black family remained a strong, stable institution.

...because that is truly fucking Lol-worthy.

 

[Victorian Gray]

During the nine decades between the Emancipation Proclamation and the 1950s, the black family remained a strong, stable institution. Its cataclysmic destruction was subsequently set in motion by such policies as the anti marriage incentives that are built into the welfare system have served only to exacerbate the problem. As George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams puts it: “The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn’t do, what Jim Crow couldn’t do, what the harshest racism couldn’t do. And that is to destroy the black family.” Hoover Institution Fellow Thomas Sowell concurs: “The black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.”

In 1991, 68 percent of black children were born outside of marriage. When Moynihan wrote, in 1965, on the coming destruction of the black family, the out-of-wedlock birthrate was 25 percent among blacks…. Last year, some 80 percent of the black inner-city poor children born were born outside of a married family….when one factors in family structure it turns out that the absence of marriage, not race, is the major factor in explaining differing crime rates.3 The rise in crime, in other words, is tied to the disintegration of marriage

Between 1950 and 1965, the proportion of people whose earnings put them below the poverty level, had decreased by more than 30%. The black poverty rate had been cut nearly in half between 1940 and 1960. In various skilled trades during the period of 1936-59, the incomes of blacks relative to whites had more than doubled. Further, the representation of blacks in professional and other high-level occupations grew more quickly during the five years preceding the launch of the War on Poverty than during the five years thereafter…..A mother generally received far more money from welfare if she was single rather than married. Once she took a husband, her benefits were instantly reduced by roughly 10 to 20 percent…The marriage penalties that are embedded in welfare programs can be particularly severe if a woman on public assistance weds a man who is employed in a low-paying job. As a FamilyScholars.org report puts it: “When a couple’s income nears the limits prescribed by Medicaid, a few extra dollars in income cause thousands of dollars in benefits to be lost. What all of this means is that the two most important routes out of poverty—marriage and work—are heavily taxed under the current U.S. system….the growth and increased liberalization of the “welfare complex” have eroded the traditional ethos of working-class communities that once held people who worked at low-wage jobs, and men who married the mothers of their children, in much higher esteem than unwed parents who became wards of the state….[M]any [beneficiaries] were beginning to view getting their own welfare grants as the next stage in their careers…. t became apparent that some participants’ requests for separate grants and independent households were too often a sign of manipulation by boyfriends, in whose interest it was to have a girlfriend on welfare with an apartment of her own.” People are not stupid. If you can squeeze free money from the system, why not?

liberals/leftists/progressives/socialists/fascists/communists/99%'rs and seiu unite - lets all fix blackie!

You really should cite where you get your 'cut & paste' from.

Not too dumb, just lied to as to what is best for them.

Not too dumb to vote in their best interest but too dumb to figure out that they're being lied to? Election after election after election after election?

Black & Right - The Democrat Race Lie

This whopper deserves all the attention it can get. Again, it shows the ignorance and contempt of the electorate liberals depend on:

In 2010, Democrats gave their website a facelift and whitewash. Check out the screenshot to see what they used to say about their civil rights history compared to now.

Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass everyone of our nation’s Civil Rights laws, and every law that protects workers. Most recently, Democrats stood together to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act.

On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight. We support vigorous enforcement of existing laws, and remain committed to protecting fundamental civil rights in America.

This is the kind of BS spewed by Democrats on a daily basis, and unfortunately the media and other so-called watchdogs are so apparently ignorant of American history, Democrats continue to LIE through their teeth to their constituents, and via academia, to our kids. Despite the truth being out there for years, it’s probably not going to explode until some big shot news anchor gives us an “explosive expose” bringing us all those facts first, so he/she can proudly receive a Pulitzer…

While I have only scratched the surface of civil rights history, here’s an except from yet another list of historical bullet points that dispute Democrat claims of civil rights support. As you read through it, remember, Democrats claim they “are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws”…

October 13, 1858
During Lincoln-Douglas debates, U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas (D-IL) states: “I do not regard the Negro as my equal, and positively deny that he is my brother, or any kin to me whatever”; Douglas became Democratic Party’s 1860 presidential nominee


So the next time any Democrat claims they’ve been supportive of civil rights in America (and been so all along), ask them to explain their past. “We’ve grown” is not gonna cut it, considering they continue to lie about their past to this day, and only someone lacking in common sense would believe two distinct political parties could juxtaposition their stances on civil rights seemingly overnight.

And I’m tired of the recitation that Southern Democrats became racist Republicans and took those tendencies with them. Even today, it never takes long for a Democrat to play the race card purely for political advantage.

Going to nuke this one just because I'm in the mood and the little bit of it I read is just selective rare happenings over time.

That's a lot of cherry picking for a 150 year time span.

The sad part is I actually read a lot of that while deleting it, and a pretty poor example of you're overall grasp of politics in general.

Sorry I guess my screen doesn't need to do that.

What the heck browser/resolution are you running? I just tested it from 800x600 to 2048x1536 without issue. At 1280H and under it was down to a single column. 2x2 above up to 1920, 3+1 at 2048.

To date I have yet to see any national or state level Democrat make disparaging comments about a white Republican President or Presidential candidate solely on the basis of him being white.

Can't say that in reverse.

can you say it 3 times fast?

I take offense. Its democrats that are bigots when it comes to race.

They think that blacks and minorities are too stupid to make it without democrats in government giving them a hand up.

Ah, the "back to you" defense. I remember using that one in kindergarten.

So you would pick on someone because of what they can afford? Liberalism at it's finest. And just for the record I upgraded my 14" CRT monitor back in 1996.

 

[squarecut1]

This is one of the saddest things in American politics - and that takes some doing. The turning of Republican party into the central headquarter for every bigot and xenophobe out there. It is a shame because the right does have some good and valid ideas. Plus it is not as if the Democrats actually help the minorities. In fact they have done a great disservice to the black community

 

[First]

Not too dumb, just lied to as to what is best for them.

Haha, again, you say African Americans can think for themselves yet simultaneously claim you believe 90% of them can't figure out they've been "lied to" for 50 years?

lol. Oh Matt, you're endlessly entertaining.

The majority of Republicans I know have expressed that the only reasons why someone who is of a minority background was selected over a non-minority because of affirmative action, etc. This, of course, implying that the non-minority is automatically the better candidate despite not knowing anything else about the two.

:hmm:

I do love the denial from the Right. Anti-poverty programs are aimed at & open to, you know, poor people of any color. There is no racial targeting, but rather economic targeting. Most people who receive assistance are, in fact, white.

If black people are disproportionately poor 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights acts, and they are, one of 2 things must be true-

A- they are inferior, which I don't believe for a moment, or

B- they are still discriminated against by society at large.

It's also important to realize that racism was, in fact, an entirely acceptable thing among many White Americans for over 200 years, particularly in States where slavery existed. It's very much an old fashioned & very traditional *value* in that respect whether such views are held by all conservatives or not. It accounts entirely for the changed party alignments in former slave states beginning with Strom Thurmond & the willingness of Repub politicians to cater to that *value*.

Don't like that? Too bad. It won't change until conservatives look into their hearts, understand their own fears better, something they're generally not very good at regardless of the topic.

We all have a tendency to identify people of different race as "Other", something we can't possibly compensate for if we deny that we're doing it. Which leads us to the current trend among some conservatives to re-define racist ideology as not racist in their usual coy fashion.

If America weren't racist, then poverty would be more equally distributed across racial lines, but it's not. If America weren't racist, we wouldn't see the enormous disparity of incarceration rates in the WoD. If America weren't racist, this conversation wouldn't even be happening.

Gee, you thing that has anything to do with the fact that 77% of the population is white and 13 percent black?

The country is pretty much divided down the middle. I guess the left's lie has been believed by quite a few other races as well.

 

[Jhhnn]

I never said otherwise.

It's completely unremarkable that you missed the point entirely. Perhaps you'd care to explain how we have racist results w/o underlying racism. You know, putting cause & effect together in a logical fashion.

Probably not.

 

[WHAMPOM]

I see pejorative statements about minority groups from democrats as well.

you see what you want to see.

I see what you did there. Freudian slip(you see what you want to see).
