    As I said, Golem, when distilled down to the essential, basic elements, what your pro-reparations faction wants is more programs for Blacks, 'pure and simple'. And like all government-funded programs that have been put into existence for Blacks, these become rock-solidly permanent, and cost more and more money.

    I blame the non-Black segment of society for most of this never-ending monstrosity -- 'taking the easy way out' and buying-off Blacks while pandering for their votes... a process that began way back in the 1960's and has continued ever since. Nothing admirable or curative about this misbegotten 'blackmail' process for anybody, but it proved to be the easiest way for politicians -- Left AND Right -- to deal with it without 'getting dirty'... 'just buy 'em off....'

    Where people like me pose the greatest problem for your faction is that we condemn this entire rationale behind this corrupt process! You have explained what your pro-reparations faction wants, but beyond an enumeration of historical 'wrongs-against-Blacks', most of which occurred prior to 1865 during the slavery period, or after "Reconstruction" in the South with "Jim Crow" laws (which ended, totally, in 1964 and 1965), there is nothing in the 'reparations' argument that has any real validity in the reality of 2021.

    From a purely pragmatic viewpoint, your people would be far better served to concentrate on getting liberals in Congress simply to fund "jobs programs", "college grants", and other handouts to EVERY American citizen, of ALL races and ethnic origins -- and not just to Blacks! Can't you see? Can you really not see...? That time is OVER.

    As I have said a thousand times, since 1965, in every meaningful, valid, legal context, ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE THE EQUAL OF ALL OTHER AMERICAN CITIZENS! Grasp that reality -- it's only been a part of our bedrock foundation for the past FIFTY-SIX YEARS.

    Truth? In clamoring for more special expensive government programs dedicated exclusively for BLACKS, the Left accomplishes only one thing that rests permanently in the minds of non-Black Americans -- the sad idea that Blacks are somehow unable and unwilling to 'stand on their own two feet', obey the LAWS of our country, and work for self-fulfilling accomplishment, individual goals, and rewarded success. How else should people construe the conduct of Black orgs like BLM/ANTIFA/NFAC when they riot, pillage, burn, destroy, and steal everything they can lay their hands on?!

    Afterthought: Take one bit of advice from a White guy who in his teenage years marched in the streets FOR Civil Rights! ME! I suggest that now your faction should press the argument, again and again, for EQUALITY, and EQUAL treatment, from top-to-bottom, for ALL races and ethnicities! Abandon your push for UNequal treatment in favor of anyone on the basis of race!

    And in the back of your mind, remember -- radical Democrat politicians have already 'done the math'... they know that they already OWN the Black vote -- but now what they want to pander to are the legion hordes of 'migrants' boiling up from Mexico, Central America, and even South America! And here in the States, everybody, of all colors, is going to fighting from now on for bigger and bigger share of 'the Welfare Pie'.... Hint: Yes..."There's a new kid in town...."

    No one can push a stereotype. It doesn't work. If I tried to push a stereotype that Asians are stupid and poor at math, it would never stick. If I tried to push a stereotype that Hispanics love bland English food, it just couldn't be done. Why don't you try changing the stereotype that white men can't dance. If you want to change a stereotype, you have to change it from within.

    making things up doesn't change reality. Your 2 sources have confirmed you do not pay more than 50% of your income in taxes.
    let me know when you are able to support your claim.

    Democrats convincing blacks that it was OK replacing the father with government. Before the 60s, single Motherhood and divorce were fairly consistent across the board. Care to guess what changed? Then you look at the music which reflects culture. No fathers = cultural breakdown ofnthe family unit and almost guaranteed poverty.

    Your post is impossible to understand. Are you really saying that the music that black people listen to is the reason why more of them live in poverty?

    The music reflects culture and the culture reflects the music. They’re tied together influencing each other through the decades. It’s arguably more intertwined compared to other races and their music. Have you listened to rap and hip hop? NOT family friendly and push’s a lifestyle that doesn’t exactly lead to a 2 parent household, hehe. And psssst, 2 parent households lead to a more stable home with less chance of poverty....but who cares when the govt can cut Mommy a check, right? Who needs the baby daddy? Even that term. Baby daddy??? Because they can’t call them fathers. You have to be there to be a father. Whooops!!

    And it’s NOT just the music. It’s just 1 of many signs of cultural decay.

    Oh dear God! You actually are saying that black people are poor because of the music they listen to.

    Unbelievable!

    Oh God, you actually think that. How sad for you and you’re non existent reading comprehension. Seriously. Who pays you to post here? It’s getting comical:) And you need to stop lying about what people mean.

    I think what Golem is saying is that the black population bears no responsibility for their actions. If it weren't for those evil white people, everyone would be rich and live in perfect harmony.

    Are you saying you don't believe that? I asked you if that's what you believe, and you responded with some odd rhetoric about music being the same as culture and that it leads to poverty which, even though it fails to address the question I asked, seems to reinforce the idea that you believe that they are poor because of the music they listen to. And nothing about you not believing that.

    So.... huh?

    Do you know what it is you're saying?

    you seem to have trouble with basic definitions. Directly answering your question, no less than 3 times, is not a dodge.

    I am having no trouble getting you to dodge the same question numerous times. What percentage are you willing to agree to?

    No, avoided it like the plague because you know the moment you answer, you will have to admit you were mistaken.

    Decision making. Well, variables are honestly endless as to what influences culture. Music, movies, games, family, etc.

    I already know where you are trying to go with this and have already debunked it lol.

    Discrimination isn't the reason for their culture, as if that were the case you would see the same in Asians.
