They have a system built on applied knowledge so we won't be able to fix it.

That is what people don't get.

yep

Yeah you will have a few blacks that do good.. but you have always had that.

This system, country, and the various institutions were built on anti black resentment with black blood mixed into the foundation.
The house would have to be torn down and the foundation dug up..


If I'm right about where the world is head, then that's exactly what will be happening. It won't be done nice and neat tho :mjpls:

Be dumb to think Americans were living on farms/homesteads or crowded tenements with just mom + dad + kids :deadmanny:

(Okay, honest question, are you retarded or gay?)

First, stop claiming X if your not gonna provide the evidence for it. I will never take anything you say as true just because you say so.

Second, you're arguing something that is irrelevant to the debate. There is no meaningful difference between those terms in regards to the effect that they have on a groups culture. If it's extended or nuclear, it still leads to the same observations, a strong family unit serving as the "glue" for transferred values. You can't say the same for groups that have an abundance of single, wedlock, female lead households. What do you not understand about that?

Like your being such an disingenuous piece of shyt by pretending that there is some greater point to be made by debating about the details of nuclear vs extended. It's literally semantics, how can you be that much of a fgt to not see that?

just because your aunt and uncle live nearby doesn't negate the effects that come from a child being raised by two parents. fukk it, if it makes you happy every group had extended family types pre the 40s or whatever. Matter of fact, with the communication tech today, every family structure is potential extended. How does that change the fact that AA had a strong family presence after slavery and it thrived until the 60s? I'll tell you, IT DOESN'T.

inb4 you deflect the majority of what I wrote, so you can shytpost, again.

I disagree.

I agree with you.

Because a lot of black people don't marry their incomes are coded as single. Whites have a higher income in comparison to black people on paper because they have combined incomes.

Does this negate the fact that married blacks still make less than married whites, nope, that's racism. However, combining incomes through marriage is one way to raises the income level of black people. A smart, easy way to raise the income of black people.

Other ways include, in my opinion, focusing less on upward mobility and more on community building.

I'd be really interested in learning more about black communities that thrived before integration. I live in Atlanta and there were a lot of black communities here that are now being bought up and gentrified. I'm going to buy a home in one of those old areas, Summerhill, Before I buy, I'm going to read up on the history. I want to know, what was life like back then, what made that community strong, what can be relearned or done better.

I think studying that and really gleaning knowledge from the past might be a big help.

Here's a video on a neighborhood in San Francisco, .

Who knew San Fran used to have affluent Black people. . . how times change.

White marriage rate isn't very high in 2015 and single motherhood in their community is fast approaching those of minority communities.

Find another theory.
Still higher than blacks though which pushes up their numbers.

The decline hasn't affected their income yet.

Also, what's the deal against getting married?

I don't care what you agree with. The fact is that White wealth is built on free labor, free homesteads, free money from the government to buy homes and other bullshyt they didn't earn, not fukking marriage.

Yep. marriage is nice n all.. but really not one of the major reasons for white wealth.

Imagine where we would be at if right after ww2 in the 40s/50s

we could have taken advantage of the gi bill like the whites
if we could have gotten a free/cheap loan house as they were building the suburbs up
and a shyt load of other things.... besides redlining, denied loans, and more jimcrow terror.

All of this is useless if you arent passing it on to the next generation to continue to build where you left off. There are companies that have been around over a century. Do you honestly thing if these founders just build wealth and let it die with themselves that these powerful dynasties would still exist. Marriage is very essential to wealth building;

It creates a progeny, connections to family ties, etc..it isnt a coincidence that many ceos get marries more often than not.

Wealth is still passed on without marriage. You think Jordan's kids from his first marriage aren't going to inherit a nice sum because he divorced their mom? Marriage is nice but it isn't the most important thing like you are trying to make it out to be.
