Divide and conquer. I live and work in very mixed areas. Although I disagree with a lot of their political beliefs, and while there is often a certain tension in the air, my differently colored and languaged friends, neighbors and co-workers are basically ok and I'd rather have them nearby than some of the filthy white trash I've known.
I read this observation all the time about White trash.................what is missed in such subjective claims is the percentage of a given race that is a liability to society.......it is the overall percentage that is the important factor........not that there are bad and good in every race...............
Percentage is the reason why all 1st world functioning countries were created by Whites and all dystopia nightmares are Black countries...........
Point of case......there are more Whites by numbers on some form of government assistance than Blacks in the US......which seems to fly in the face of the argument that Whites are responsible and Black's aren't in society.
But what is missed in that observation is that only 20% of Whites (It used to be less that 5% in the 1950s) are on assistance where it is 80% of Blacks.......
There is reasonable conjecture to presume that people on some form of government assistance (outside of physical disabilities or health reasons) either struggle to become productive citizens (cognitively challenged in some cases) or they make bad decisions (behavior) impacting their fiscal budget which leads to such a need.........and furthermore those lacking critical thinking within this socioeconomic demographic are prime targets for governmental social programs to drive loyalty to a given political party or ideology.
....but getting back on point here.......most experts agree that you can't have a functionally productive 1st world society where 35% or more of your citizens are in need of government support since exceeding that limit creates an erosion on the tax base along with its resultant budgetary pressures and decreasing family size on the 65% independent tax paying citizens that keep the social engine running.
And that overall percentage by race............ is the essence of the problem from a racial standpoint of having a functioning society today.
It is this demonstrable foundation that is the challenge the White/Black racial relationship issues of integration in society. Whether it is the education and/or income gap, crime statistics and prison population, it all boils down to what percentage of a given group of people can function responsibility within the environment they are in.
Now many defenders of integration will state that simply the prejudice and oppression of Blacks in society have lead to such a gap..............but there are many examples throughout the world where without oppression.......or the oppression has been removed that the Black race as a whole continues to struggle in maintaining let alone creating a 1st world modern society.
The most obvious examples are Haiti, Zimbabwe and South African.............
and the integration proponents are at a loss when those with far more cultural barriers in the US such as Asians come here and within one generation are successful contributing members of society.
But ultimately those in favor of integration because "we are all the same" must have to deal with the simple fact that a whole race of people ......on their own.......with 10,000s of years head start on the White race never developed the wheel, sail, a written language and mathematical constructions.
If we are all the same how do you account for this beyond their being best adapted through natural selection to an environment where none of those develops contributed to their survival skills?
You can't blame it on slavery or evil Whites............in fact slavery of a race could be explained because they didn't develop the aforementioned on their own and as a result had no chance to defend themselves with spears against weapons of technology.
The egalitarian cannot accept the fact that we are different and as much of 80% of that difference is due to DNA and not the lack or need of more handouts, affirmative action and social programs.
