"If 9.7 of the white population is greater than 27.7% of the black population requires some further calculations. Maybe it is. IDK. "
If those numbers are correct we are in deep shit. Blacks make up about 20 % of the population but let's just round off the numbers. Or do easy math. If Blacks were 25 % of the population that would be one fourth. If 25 % of them are at poverty level then that is one fourth of one fourth, which is significantly lower than 9.7 %, or call it 10 % just to round it off.
That means that indeed there are more Whites in poverty by sheer numbers, but not per capita in group of course. And while the disparity is significant, it does not necessarily indicate White bigotry. Otherwise, how do you explain other races doing so well, like Orientals and Indians ?
Blacks have come a long way. In a bit less than 300 years they came out of the jungle where they were eating each other and getting chased by lions or tigers or whatever, to becoming doctors and engineers. And in some states in the past it was illegal to teach them to read.
So they are adapting in 300 years to a society that has taken 3,000 years to build. So kudos to those who make something of themself, and they are still at a slight disadvantage, though it is not what it once was. At least what society imposes.
Plenty more of them are born to Parents who are only semi-literate, poorly educated and definitely not wealthy or doing well enough to put them in private schools, which might not accept anyway. I knew how to read and write and basic numbers and addition/subtraction before I even went to kindergarten. My family would be ashamed to send a kid to school without those necessary skills. And in that day, it was not done on a computer or smart phone. They actually had to spend the time.
So, I do not blame them completely. But I will say this, that cop has a gun and if you don't put yours down and cooperate either he is going to shoot you or you are going to shoot him. Neither situation is desirable.
What's more, I do not believe this 9.7 % White poverty rate anyway. It has to be more than that. Kinda like the unemployment stats, oh, after you don't have a job for X months you are no longer unemployed. Bullshit. Only about a third of the people in this country file income tax returns and I bet only half of them really pay anything. As wages go down they get more and more breaks due to personal exemption and with the EIC might get back more than they paid in. Not me, but I know people who have. Me, I take cash. I got the moxy to demand it. They will liberate somehow like $35,000 a year cash for me. I am totally invisible to the government. And there is nothing in my name. (that's how they got Al Capone)
I notice another thing about Black people. They have no fucking idea how to handle the courts. they do not even know the concept that if a court forces you to sign something you do not have to. Anything you sign with those people is giving away your rights. That may be one of the reasons there are more of them in prison.
But they also have to realize that the fighting ring is the court, not out in the street with a Man with a gun pointed at you. Iff I knew a bit more law I would maybe offer courses for Black people on how to handle the law.. I am pretty good, but really, not good enough to teach. My people hired retired Harvard law professors to tutor them n shit. We are talking busted with a grow room, selling weed to a turncoat, finding the grow room, and then him winning his appeal. No longer a convicted felon. He kicked their ass.
Years ago I was on vacation for a DUI and I am talking to this Black Man, he says "They should just come out and say drinking is illegal. you can't drink and drive, you can't drink and walk, you can't drink and fuck, you just about can't drink and do anything". I see the logic to his statement, but that is partly because I know, typically, they cannot handle the courts.
Since they are at such a disadvantage, they see the government as an enemy. And in a way it is. It is all of our enemy actually, they have just not gotten around to "you" yet. But they will.
I just hope that when revolution time comes around the Blacks will be on our side rather than shooting us in the back because they think we commoners did all this to them. Every bad thing that happened to them, at least in the institutional sense was not not done by us commoner Whites. Some was in the past but we stopped. Pretty much. You find people lynching a Black for whistling at a White Woman (Emmet Hill) I will help them lynch them back. They got a point, some bad shit has happened to them. "Open and shut case y'honor, n_____ stole more chain than he could swim with". And the youngest person ever executed by the government was a Black kid, I think he was 13, and the evidence was not that strong from what I heard.
So I do understand. Not that I can do much though. the world is much bigger than me. You want classes on how to fuck with them in court I can do that but am not the best teacher. But that does nothing for out on the street. You have to live to get to court.
Bottom line, the whole country is burning to the ground. I hate to say it but it is true - we should have picked our own cotton. But there are things, alot of things, that simply cannot be undone.
