MLK day- a celebration of failure

I thought I would celebrate MLK day by asking one simple question: Are american blacks an economic asset or a liability?

First a few things here- some of this may be interpreted a little, especially over the question of whether you consider government workers helpful or not. But in the end the private sector has to pay those workers salaries, so I'm putting them on the cost side of the ledger. I'm saying that they are a net wash as I can make good cases that all those black people working at the dept. of education are miserable failures and the DOJ is causing economic harm due to its racial war on white america.

Some numbers are more accurate than others, but I'm satisfied that this is accurate to 10%.

Start with the costs, and I'm adding quotes to emphasize that blacks and liberals look at this as absolutely 'good' that blacks are dependent on government and that cuts are harmful. In other words they all but admit that blacks are an economic ball and chain. Sorry if this seems disjointed somewhat, I'm not interested in taking the time to polish things up.

“In 2011 : 17.8% federal employees were black 345,679”

“Black Unemployment Crisis: Loss Of Government Jobs Hurts African Americans Hardest”


http://www.dol.gov/_sec/media/reports/blacklaborforce/
18 million blacks employed or looking for work, 61.4% labor force participation rate

1) Unemployment checks: 15% unemployment rate = 2.7 million people so that's $40B a year

2) 20% of employed blacks (3.6 million) worked for government at all levels, conservatively then $180B a year in salary and benefits


3) SSI recipients: hard to get this one since race data isn’t clear, conservatively take it as $80B a year or roughly 15% of the total take. Black children get a lot since adults die sooner.

Another alarming statistic: One of every five black children relies on Social Security because of retirement, death or disability of the primary household breadwinner. Children constitute a larger proportion of black Social Security beneficiaries (11.8 percent) than white beneficiaries (4.3 percent), the report said

The other danger is the soaring poverty numbers. Social Security stands squarely in the middle of the two dangers. The recent census report found that the number of Americans in poverty has hit a near all time high. A disproportionate number of those are blacks and Hispanics. This is where privatizing or any tweak, reduction, or downsize of Social Security would virtually guarantee that the economic pain to blacks and Hispanics would be unimaginable
The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies warns African Americans to wake up and speak up, because their "dependence on the system is great." As the Joint Center notes in a report released this month, blacks rely heavily on those monthly Social Security checks. Indeed, in two of every five black households of retirees age 65 or older, Social Security is their only source of income.


4) SSDI : $17.7 B a year

http://naacp.3cdn.net/00b59bd907eb4a22ff_xwm6vaw21.pdf
“Social Security’s disability insurance benefits are critical for African Americans who
are nearly 13 percent of the population but 17 percent of all Social Security
disability recipients. The average monthly benefit for black disabled men is $1061
and $912 for black disabled women.”
(That’s 1.48 million on SSDI!)


5) cost of crime and imprisonment: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jan/15/jail-reflects-collapse-black-communities-us

1 in 3 black men will go to jail (then probably 40% of all black men are criminals), 10% of adult black men are now in prison, or about 1 million at a cost of $40K per year. $40B a year for imprisonment, estimate another $20B a year economic costs of crime (policing, insurance, property damage, medical etc.). $60B a year for crime

And the other social costs of black crime?

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/will_american_liberals_ever_wake_up.html#ixzz2Id9zqaGS

From New Century Foundation's The Color of Crime, we learn:
• Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder.
• Blacks are eight times more likely than people of other races to commit robbery.
• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice-versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.


6) estimate $200B a year in other welfare spending on blacks at all levels of gov’t (40% of about a half trillion conservatively, the generally accepted share of the black community welfare aid) (SCHIP, SNAP, EIC, minority education spending, medicaid, medicare, (non-retirement), head start, free cell phones, all other the minority bullshit).

So then are the 14.4 million privately employed blacks are ‘paying’ for what black America costs us, or $578B a year?

At least half don’t pay anything and in fact are takers themselves since their wages are lower than average, so 7 million people are to be paying $578B, or $82,500 per black taxpayer. No way, we all know that isn’t anywhere close to reality, even if you account for other taxes such as corporate.

Martin Luther King day, a celebration of black failure and the dependent people who are dragging us to the bottom.
 
Wow! Nothing like calling a spade a spade.

Update: Opps. I didn't mean it like that. Maybe, 'nothing like not mincing words' is better in today's PC society.
 
The very idea that having this day in the first place is an example of what is wrong with black people. They love symbolism such as this, it seems to take the place of real achievement. Street names, a president, parades, ranting speeches, etc. , none of it makes one a better person, all that seems to matter is feeling good.

black people claim to want 'honest' discussion, well here it is, I bet they don't want it

Every "black" person wants that, or you're just broadbrushing (to put it nicely) the whole group?
 
Thanks Mav, I came down here today to wait for what I knew would come. You righties must be crushed, politically, that is.

The Union is aware of your shenanigans, and will respond appropriately if needed.

well I speaking in the average sense, I'm sure many blacks know the truth about themselves. Most notably that jackass Holder said

Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues. In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

but whenever people like me initiate honest discussion we are dismissed as racist. If however one is really honest, the only conclusion you can possibly draw is that black people are economically dependent on white people and are a drain on society.


The tragedy is that people like you keep telling them the opposite, depriving them on any chance at all of a real solution. The real number is most likely higher, yet blacks still want more, encouraged by the white liberal/communist asshole establishment

note that presenting data is 'shenanigans' that must be 'responded to'

black people are intellectually sick, a form of racial dementia
