I cant believe Im saying this, but I mostly agree with Ryan's analytic. Now I was a lil uncomfortable the way he stressed value, and if he eliminated the residual effects of the overt discrimination from the past, combined with the institutional bias of today from his theoretic, i.e. there is something inherently wrong with black people, then he is making an implicitly racist argument...but it didnt sound like it since he encouraged a commitment from all Americans to fix the problem, versus hollow scapegoating, which is rare from a conservative.

Hes referencing human capital theory, or in sociological terms 'the cycle of poverty'. Black kids are not born into communities that are invested in their success, and instead are raised in disadvantaged social and economic positions on average. They have very little in the way of positive social and economic apparatuses to draw from. We know many black children are not born in household's where their potential is fostered and attainment is allowed to flourish...this negatively affects what is called "psychological externalities", where children start to develop a cynical outlook on their place and potential location in this world, and act dysfunctionally in greater proportion because of it.

This is a primary source for why our communities lag economically. Combine this with racial resentment from the dominant class, and their futures are determined. Lil timmy white boy goes on company family picnics, is introduced to positive networks and social peers, and is groomed to be a productive citizen. We KNOW this is not the average ethnographic experience of the black child.

what makes a community?
What is the primary driver of world view in American society?

i stopped fuking with that world view when i realized a lot that "racism" world view is itself based on deeply held unconscious white supremacy
Like suggesting everyone abandon their ethnic cultures to "assimilate"

As if there are no problems with the issue of work ethic in mainstream US culture

Methinks a dazzling urbanite like yourself needs to get out of a tri county area and see how the majority of these caucasoids really live :whew::wow:

poverty in the inner city is due to lack of education and lack of skills, period, its that simple

this whole laziness thing, i know nothing about, i have never suggested that black people are lazy, i have said that black people have an anti academic culture

in fact seeing black people work so hard and get nowhere or working hard at wasteful things is what led me to my thesis
I feel like that's more of a class thing than anything.

I came in here to shyt on Paul Ryan for talking about poverty because I assume he grew up a millionaire and went to harvard etc but he didn't. I still don't agree with this brash statement. You can work every waking hour but if its minimum wage jobs you're going no where. Maybe if our education wasn't so shytty and so expensive these people could improve their lives

Yeah, come down to the boondocks of Kentucky. There are areas of the state the police won't even go to. You're not just setup for being successful because you're born white. My moms family are a bunch of hicks from Indiana and my cousins were doomed from the jump for being born there. Turn into meth/pill heads and work dead end jobs.
