To combat racism, try reviving the black family

[Rubee]

Are you suggesting there is no such thing as a bogus or bad study?

There are VERY non-intellectual studies out there, about pretty much any topic.

To stay in the race realm, which is where the left wing largely operates these days… a bogus, bad, and non-intellectual study would be to take a small portion of people producing massive numbers in a group and then spreading the blame on that entire group. So, 50% of the homicides in America are committed by blacks, that’s a tragic statistical fact. However, there’s a small group within the entire black community that is doing all of this killing. Inner city, young, male, gang-related crime, most against each other. Now, the media and BLM oddly doesn’t seem to care about these deaths, even though they fit the criteria of being black, and even though it’s happening at an infinitely higher rate than any police brutality deaths.

These studies about murders you mention are the favorite of conservatives. They are also included in that list of studies you did not want to read; i.e.; unlike conservatives do on this issue, it’s not cherrypicked but comprehensive, giving the biggest, best picture of the situation. They are also from all over the country, some are country-wide.

Now, the media and BLM oddly doesn’t seem to care about these deaths, even though they fit the criteria of being black, and even though it’s happening at an infinitely higher rate than any police brutality deaths.

That’s also something the studies indicates about how little Black lives matter. You should really read them! Not only do the police not respond the same way when the victim of a crime is Black, it is reflected in sentencing as well. Very few people get the death penalty for killing a Black person. Hardly any White person ever gets the death penalty for killing a black person. Almost all people on death row are Black people who killed White people, especially White women, and a few White people who killed White people. This system doesn’t care as much for Black victims or Black innocents. That’s why we say “Black lives matter.”

And the race of perpetrators isn’t as big a point as the conservatives make it out to be; crimes are committed against whoever is around the criminal; So 81% of White victims have White assailants, and 89% of Black victims have Black assailants. All this tell you is that criminals attack whoever is around them.

Lastly, I really do want examples of the racism you earlier claimed was perpetrated against White people on behalf of Black people. If you mispoke, you should withdraw it rather than just ignore it.

In my opinion the New Deal broke up black nuclear families and married black women to the government. Men aren’t needed if the government will pay your bills. Men pick up on that and then become not needed

It’s definitely an opinion all right. Is there empirical data that shows this?

I’ve been poor all my life, and never have I ever had the thought ‘Well, I rather have government handouts than to marry a man who would provide, help out with the chores, provide companionship and affection, watch over my kids while I finally take a break’. Especially when the handouts are measly (and apparently in America, it’s worse).

It seems like a common talking point in the Conservative sphere but that sort of mentality just seems too unrealistic. Most single moms would rather have a supportive husband than food stamps. The reasons why they’re single has to do with many reasons besides them choosing not to have a partner

Especially when you look at other stats like high incarceration of black men due to higher rates of policing, longer sentences and so on. There has been an explicit attempt to tear the black family unit pretty recently and it tore the social fabric of Lower income communities.

these discussions rarely truly happen. If acknowledged at all, it’s begrudgingly before continuing with a “but…” and then a long condemning lecture of some sort of systematic racism.

These discussions happen in the black community. I think there is an intolerance there when white people bring it up because it’s often used to deny racism. But black people have been bringing up black issues often enough for them to be aware of it.

Leftists think if there is a difference in the equality of outcome, it’s because of a racist system and cannot possibly be from the individuals. The correlation is causation.

Common sense is needed. A racist system tore the social fabric of the community. It doesn’t mean that all aspects of inequality are due to racism. It doesn’t mean that personal responsibility won’t help them at all. Both sides need to see the situation for what it is, instead of politicising it to fit their right or left wing agenda.
