You speak as if slavery is the only thing in American history that was an overt system put in place. There was Jim Crow, forced segregation through the 60s and 70s among others. I don’t think that there are any overt racial institutions that exist at this point. However, there are things that are put in place that may disproportionately affect a certain demographic.
And notice our government got absolutely fucked by the Russians last election cycle. Random keyboard warriors being paid in Doritos and Mountain Dew did more to fuck the US than millions of dollars (rubles?) spent on guns or bombs. Defense of the country is important, but we’re well beyond the point of diminishing returns on dollars invested in armaments. Cybersecurity, and election security, seem like sweet places to spend American dollars. Education seems like a sweet place to spend American dollars if you want the population to succeed. I think your ROI on militarization is crappy compared to most anyplace else you can put it.
How does the Welfare queen idea live on when people have that thing called google.,… Factually its rural WHITE America that has the highest percentage of people on Welfare programs.
The only stunting of development to anyone in our country is those who refuse to leave the bubble of propaganda.
Trump like leaders who are about sovereignty will rise to power all over the world. It should be about your country first and each country working together second. Giving in to the demands of globalism is like giving in to peer pressure which is not a good thing. Each country is like a person. You should not let a group of people make decisions for you. A country or a person who cannot help themselves cannot help others. The left’s ultimate goal is one world government where all nations must bow down to. The people on top know of this plan while their lower level minions don’t. One government making decisions for all nations. Global government will be the big bully controlling everyone.
I don’t understand how there is literally a quote where Lee Atwater, the consultant who pretty much formed the modern GOP election strategy, talks about how you win the racists through more abstract, economical means, and people don’t believe that there’s any form of racism left in the system. Ludicrous.
It’s a meme Republicans came up with in the 80s and it persists because it seems plausible to some people and they haven’t been confronted with the information debunking it.
Where would you suggest he start making cuts? When is it ok to raise taxes?
Have you read about how Kansas and Oklahoma have basically screwed themselves by lowering taxes to the point where the government can barely function? They only have 4 day school weeks in OK because they can’t afford to do 5 and Oklahoma already isn’t a state exactly know for its educational system.
As for Oklahoma and Kansas I’m not too familiar with the situation but I’m assuming they didn’t make the necessary spending cuts. Obviously tax cuts without spending cuts will lead to disaster.
16.3% whites
39.7% blacks
36.4% hispanics (Hispanics represent the fastest rate of growth for any demographic group (a 15% increase since the year 2000).)
There’s been a long term very successful effort to demonize taxes. Those are necessary to pay for critical government services, but no matter: taxes are bad. Typically everything is cut to the bone and then some. I’d suggest that in almost all cases taxes should go up, not services being cut: it’s going to be the more logical approach. And politically disastrous because everybody just wants bread and circuses.
There’s one important piece of info you’ve seen to have forgotten when doing that Google search: the amount of people that represents each category. 40% of black people are on welfare, but there are only roughly 40 million of them living in the country. Compare that to 16% of roughly 200 million people.
16% of ~ 200 million = roughly 33 million people
40% of ~ 40 million = roughly 16 million people
This was broken down so well. Even shows how Trump voters vs others think.
Or this one as well…
True my buddy the Welfare Queen has been around for decades. It will never go away but again when this clearly shows your wrong(or just plain mislead) just own it. Its a very common misunderstanding depending on how and who gives you your info.
If Trump and the GOP keep the house and decide to all but get rid of assistance programs it will be Trump voters who will actually suffer the most. Rural White America will suffer more as they literally depend on food stamps for not only eating but for economic purposes.
