whitebulbbill strikes again!***

Jim Crow, slowing down the vote for the mid-60’s Civil Rights Act with held one of America’s longest filibusters to block it until Republican political party got it passed so to get the historical and freeing act onto LBJ’s desk to sign.

And even with these evil actions by DEM party towards Blacks over so many decades, including putting many into crowed low-income housing, the Black community still votes for them 9 out of 10 times.

Furthermore the DEMs, thru Bill Clinton, put more Black men into prisons due to over-reaching, petty & racist drug laws & charges which caused (to this day) Black women to raise the children w/o a man or father in the household and thus created much of the sad fatherless despair & even crime we see today.

Example: Even today too many of the fine football players that Dabo recruits now are still from fatherless or female dominated homes!!!!

That's the social side. The economic side is income.

What ties into both? Criminal justice policies that rip a parent (or both) away from families for non-violent drug offenses, or something like DWB. This in turn takes one or both potential income streams away from the family. A criminal offense also makes it harder to get a job upon re-entry, increasing rates of recidivism. Housing stability is also impacted because it is much harder to find housing with a record. Then you have to look at historical issues like redlining and urban development, which locked minorities out of home ownership (i.e. generational wealth) and decimated black neighborhoods creating generational cycles of housing issues. You also have institutional racism where "black names" make it much less likely those candidates will be considered for jobs regardless of qualifications.

There is a mountain of issues underneath that simple stat that you have to explore if you want to be honest with yourself. And we can't just say, "Blacks have had all the opportunities as whites so I don't understand why they don't just bootstrap success" when they've been literally locked out of economic mobility until rather recently (there are still blacks alive today who were rejected from higher education, including high-earning career tracks like med school, because of race), and the very serious issues within the justice system still persist. We're still feeling the effects of Urban Renewal because it takes generations to overcome. Think of how many of us are the beneficiaries of generational wealth being passed down from grandparents, to parents, to kids -- even something as simple as enough money to keep student loans down.

What makes Bill's post so particularly odious is that he pretends to pay lip service to all these things but I guarantee he is not an ally to justice reform, or any of the social/economic opportunities that would help improve this situation, either from a moral perspective (giving people second chances) or an economic one (breaking cycles of poverty). He never once considered that DEI initiatives, that promote economic mobility and would help start building generational wealth that's been missing from low income communities.

Don't dodge.

I couldn't tell you. I am not black. Maybe they believe the lies?***

My guess it has something to do with posts like Bill's.***

Biden has said much worse. Eulogized a grand master to boot.***

Is anybody denying that Biden is a Drug War era relic with latent racist
