Oh man all these edits are hard to keep track off...
I was looking at the 2000s data because that's closest to our timeline...
So significant inequality points to what...?
AND why should something be done about it...? (if at all)...
Anyway... got to go...
Later!
Personal opinions and racist talk on one side vs. income inequality on the other.
How would the two be related...? AND what does income equality have to do with the concept of liberalism?
I'll give you a hint... you can be a free country and still have income inequality... In fact...
My bad...
I was expecting you to quickly point out racism the way everyone else does... Let's face it... That's what the argument would come down to...:D
EDIT: It is rising for black females but falling for black males. It is also falling for white males but stays relatively unchanged...
What you're saying happens to be true...
But why does any of it point to racism the way you'd like to argue it?
Are blacks responsible for the increase in white poverty...? Not really...
Is the government...? Only when it comes to race quotas and affirmative action...
Are...
Looking at that chart is deceptive... You actually need to analyze it yourself to get what it's saying... It's saying whites are getting poor twice as fast as blacks and the government isn't going to tell you that.
So who's really the race that needs incentives to compete...? I'll give you...
If we examine that image further we see that black poverty rose from 31.2% to 37.4% during that same period. That's a rise of 6.2% representing a change of 19.8 % and a much lower number numerically overall. What that tells us is that whites are getting poorer at a faster rate than blacks. An...
There's data out there but you have to analyze it yourself...
This CNN article says...

Look at the graph lower on the page where poverty is broken down by race...
The gap closing is happening both ways... It's mostly due to whites becoming as poor as blacks rather than blacks lifting themselves out of poverty. That's what has whites alarmed. It's also worse when you see that the government positions of authority are immune to economic changes...
Maybe some do feel threatened but off the top of my head I can't think of any who have lobbyied for more rights for whites. Usually, they're looking for oil and gas rights or for the government to purchase their goods and services. The idea that they call themselves "capitalists" or "job...
Yes Ricter you're 100 % right. Whites do have more lobbying power... Way more lobbying power. But whites don't use that power based on race. We're talking about whites using their lobbying power for business interests mostly.
Blacks on the other hand, have a lot of their own business...
Do you have any idea how retarded it is to add "racist liberal" to every argument...?
You don't know what a "liberal" is... The worse part is most of you who claim to be a "conservative" don't have a fucking clue as to what that is either... (Not to pick on you TGregg... It's more of an all...
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness... You know what that is don't you...?
By all means what exactly is your political orientation based on...?
Death, totalitarianism and the pursuit of sadness...?
If you don't believe in liberty than you'd better GTFO because you're in the...
Sorry LEAPup but I fail to see what liberalism has to do with any of it...
Their actions are completely against what a real liberal stands for and no true liberal would condone their actions. Psychos who make up the "fake liberal" crowd may see things differently.
You would have a hard...
