| I am not sure why you deleted your comment - I know the HN commentariat will downvote anything contrary to its liking, but this is a forum for debating issues. I managed to read it quickly, and while I disagree with it, I welcome it. I welcome it because I can input my opinion and maybe shed some light on why i think you are wrong. You posted about raw numbers of whites in poverty vs blacks in poverty. By raw numbers you are right, there are more white people living in poverty. But there are more white people overall. "According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%). Whites had a poverty rate of 10.1%, while Asians had a poverty rate at 10.1%." - that means the likelihood of black people and native americans being poor is higher than that of whites. You also implied I think all whites are racists. If I would have than it would have been racist towards white people. I think whitepeople as a people are not racist, but there is a solid number of white people being racist. This doesn't make all of them racist, just like some criminals from the black community doesn't make all black people racist. Scholarships are meant to try and help members of that group gain education. White people are more likely to be able to attend university. Doesn't mean there are no white people who can't afford education. The issue is not that blacks are getting scholarships, the issue is that education is too expensive and only a few afford it. You finished your comment with "no shit" to my statement that society belongs to everyone. You are right, but some disagree with you. I remember personally speaking to a white american back when the new orleans floods happened, and he point blank told me "it's the ni* who get fu". I remember a friend who went on a trip to NY with his white lawyer friends stating that smoking weed while driving is fine, because the police will only stop the "ni". I also remember images of LA, SF, NY, and their ghettos where there are mainly black people. As I said, I welcome debate. That's the only way we can get to the bottom of what is going on. |
