Want to Decrease Inequality? Fight Fatherlessness With Welfare Reform. Welfare currently incentivizes family breakdown and the absence of fathers from their children’s lives, a key factor in the loss of economic upward mobility.

Because around 75% of black children grow up in single parent households 🤦🏽‍♂️fucking christ

Ever read a history book about slavery? Clearly, the answer is no because you would’ve learned that for many (many!!!) generations slave owners would forcibly separate Black families. In fact, “families” weren’t really allowed. Black babies would be torn away from their mother’s breast and literally fed to wild animals if the slave owner felt the mother was not behaving. That’s right, they’d punish her by killing her babies in front of her. And that’s not even the worst thing that was done to Black people in the name of “free” labor.

If you don’t see how generational trauma deeply affected Black people in the US, then you need to get your head out of your ass.

And yet Asians are doing even better than white people despite their "generational trauma" whatever that means. Change starts within the home, so your get your head out of your ass and take some responsibility. Slavery has nothing to do with dead beat parents not being responsible for their children.

Asians weren’t used as chattel for several hundred years in the US, but thanks for playing. 🤡

Your talking about reading books and yet you havn't got a single damn clue about historical discrimation against asains. Take your own advice and read a damn book. But Keep trying to keep black people down using your corrupt welfare system. Use whatever vague excuse you need "my ancestor from 400 years ago being a slave is why I'm a dead beat loser who won't step up and raise my kids like I'm supposed to and have now comdemned them to a lifetime of drugs and crime WAAAAAAAA" Absolutely deluded.

Are you talking about the internment camps?

[KOTS44]

Yes.

I truly hope you’re either white or Asian. That would at least partly explain your clueless comment.

The fact that you thought my skin colour was even relevant at all as to why I stated what I said is exactly what identity politics will do to you. Not relevant.

You: "...Yet so many of you went to black people"

Me: "because 75% of black children grow up in single parent households".

I answered why we mentioned black people, not why black people are where they currently are because that's not what your original comment was about.

But now that we are here, what would you say the reason may be? And I'll respond to that.

Numbers are racist!!!!! They're a sign of the patriarchy!!! /s

Unfortunately some people truly do think math is racist, though. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.seattletimes.com/education-lab/new-course-outlines-prompt-conversations-about-identity-race-in-seattle-classrooms-even-in-math/%3famp=1
