Martin Luther King Day

[UncleBuck]

like i always say, if you want to break the cycle of poverty, move to the inner city!

 

[RyanTheRhino]

White people are 67% of the US population, so it makes sense that there would be a larger percentage!

what?? ...You need to look back at your math

It would have a larger absolute number but a lower percentile

The thing I don't get is how any of this is my fault. I made zero people live in slums, I also never forced anyone into crime yet I catch the blame. I never owned a slave I never segragated anything.

why do you view MLK day as an attack on you?

that's not what it is, ya know.

What's the difference between Martin Luther King Jr day and St Pattys day?

On St Pattys day everyone wants to be Irish!

And white people (for the most part) are the ones who stole trillions of dollars crashing our economy. That's not because black people are predisposed to shooting people or white people are predisposed to stealing money, it's due to the circumstances and opportunities available to them.

Go visit some projects and see how the children there grow up. Then you're understand why things are the way they are. It's lack of hope and economic opportunity, not racial inferiority.

I live in North Omaha ( blue on the map, thanks buck ) While there are some poor hoods, there are no projects, poverty while all around is not rampant nor tied to one race, unemployment is about 5%, if your not working you don't want to. The punks shooting people are driving nicer cars then me, have $5k in 48" wheels and low pros, so I'm not buying your argument that their shooting each other because of their poor and impoverished past!

clearly it is because black people are inherently savages then.

If you have 100 people... 67 are white, 10 black, 10 Hispanic, 10 Asian and 3 other. 40% of the 100 are on assistance. % say 4 black, 4 Hispanic and 4 Asian people will be on assistance and............... drum beat..... 26.8 white people.

Make up whatever you want here it is in black and white.. literally.

Those numbers are the parentage of total recipients not percentage of each race. The white percentiles will be large because they make up a large portion of the population.​

Your words not mine!

 

[UncleBuck]

Your words not mine!

your implication, not mine.

you didn't quote so i dint know you where referring to that guys post

Yes I know, I put the percentages below those numbers.

63% of america is white and accounts for 61% of "welfare" recipients. 37% are minorities and account for 39% of welfare recipients.

For every 100 people in the USA 63 will be white

For every 100 welfare recipients in the USA 61 will be white.

For every 100 people in the USA 37 will be a minority

For every 100 welfare recipients 39 will be a minority..

REALLY HUGE difference eh? lol....................

 

[UncleBuck]

ya know what is great?

the MLK thread is rated 1-star. on MLK day.

be proud

I dont really care who gets them. It is the generational dependence sold by our government that keeps them that way. And the benefit goes to the politicians that hand them a few bucks and tell them to vote Democrat to keep getting their dole.

you always say this, but you never provide evidence for your claims.

[SIZE=+1]Welfare is a huge drain on the federal budget. [/SIZE]MYTH

welfare payments affect only 1 percent of the federal budget.

The majority of welfare payments are in red states that vote republican.

 

[NLXSK1]

you always say this, but you never provide evidence for your claims.

Look at the track record of the indians and the african americans.... The biggest (percentage) dole recipients in America.

It does not seem to create wealth or elevate people.

 

[UncleBuck]

Look...

"look" is not evidence.

and welfare was not meant to create wealth or elevate people, it is meant to keep them from hitting bottom that's why they call it a "safety net" and not a "wealth trampoline"

Well that safety net has kept a lot of people close to the bottom for a long time. If it doesnt elevate people then it doesnt work.
