Republicans: continued

[JimC]

'Black people in America' includes everyone from the wealthy elite, to the poorest of the poor.

From oppressor to oppressed.

You seem to imply that there is zero difference between the average socio-economic status of white vs non-white people in the US, that black people are evenly distributed; plenty of billionaires...

Unless you are more ignorant than I thought possible, you must know that is arrant nonsense.

[Cunt]

I don't like being fed racism, and viewing people according to colour strikes me as racist horseshit.

Of course, to each his own.

Yes, and when you include all of them, black unemployment has been double the rate of white unemployment for decades

As I understand it, black unemployment improved under Trump, and is going back into the toilet under Biden.

Does that mean one of them is a racist?

When unemployment rates fell, they fell more for whites than for blacks. The employment gap between them actually increased.
At 5.3 percentage points, the gap is now the widest since May 2015

Statistics matter, and they are evidence that racism exists even though races don't.

I bet you keep focusing on race, rather than fatherlessness.

There is no doubt that fatherlessness has economic consequences, but in order to show that the economic differences between blacks and whites is due to it you'd have to show that the wealth of black families being one tenth that of white families you'd have to show a proportional difference of fatherlessnees between those population groups. There is a difference. I leave it to you to find the figures and show us how fatherless children are a greater influence on economic inequality between black and white families than racism at large. It appears to be your claim after all. It is up to you to substantiate it.

Disingenuous bullshit; "viewing" is a mealy-mouthed term with no clear meaning in this context. Treating people differently according to their skin colour can certainly be racist (but there are exceptions, such as in medical treatments).

But statistically analysing a population, and finding that a segment distinguished by the colour of their skin has socio-economic and educational disadvantages is not racist, it allows a clear vision of serious issues of discrimination in a given society.

[L'Emmerdeur]

I wonder if 'fatherlessness' is code for 'it's their own damn fault.'

That couldn't be it though. Because, you know, being really clued in. Somebody who was really clued in would be aware of factors that resulted in a significant percentage of single parent families, like disproportionate incarceration rates, long-term poverty, racist government policies, and so on.

In plain language, systemic racism in a society will have a disproportionate negative effect on almost all aspects of the lives of those who are on the receiving end, including on their family structure. It doesn't appear that 'fatherlessness' is an effective counter-narrative to 'racism' for somebody who had some grasp of the issues involved.

Our member from Yellowknife is just returning to his "Whenever I hear someone accusing someone of being racist, I usually suspect racism driving the statement" mantra. Makes as much sense as saying "Whenever I hear someone accusing someone of being feminist, I usually suspect feminism driving the statement", "Whenever I hear someone accusing someone of being communist, I usually suspect communism driving the statement", or whatever.

[JimC]

White racists, or their apologists, would much prefer that "racism" is treated as a sort of imaginary construct, used only by the left to further a sinister agenda, depriving "real Americans" of their god-given rights...

Then again, you're in the privileged position of not being stopped by the cops 6 times a year and told to empty your pocket while justifying your presence at whatever location they find you at.

That does happen him, you fool, and it happens to him because he had a fatherless upbringing.

I don't care to, because I'm not interested in changing your mind. You showed your depth with your quoted comment.

It looks like you want equity.

I'm not a fan, but I get why some folks would want that. It really helps half of the people.

You're not interested in changing anybody's mind. You're just interested in trolling. That's not why you don't buttress your opinions with facts, though. The real reason is that facts contradict your opinions.

[Cunt]

I'm not trolling, I'm just not willing to answer to you.

You don't mean enough to me. Heck, I don't even know what town you are from, nevermind not having a pet name for you.

It's like the only interesting thing about you was your opinion, what with your facts being so. Um. Affected by your affections for Trump.

[Hermit]

I'm not trolling

[Cunt]

I'm not trolling

You keep on trolling. I'm moving on to find another Republican to share.

Got one! A Republican likely made this.
