How fucking retarded do you ha e to be to think a country can legislate a group of people out of povery?

I mean you even admitted "every country in the world" has the same problem. So maybe it's just the way its always going to be because certain people won't change and they choose to be victims.

Whatever, I'm glad I don't need to deal with any of this made up bullshit the left is selling today.

Denying there is a problem doesn't fix the problem. It just ignores it. Don't be an Alphagriz, you aren't a piece of shit like he is. Police in this country are a fucking problem. Minorities just experience it more.

Take almost any place in the world: poverty and violence are intertwined no matter the race.

The problem is that we systemically kept blacks in poverty for centuries and still keep them in poverty through economic and educational inequalities (in addition to a racist criminal justice system).

The solution has to come from people like us who can vote to distribute wealth more fairly because in our system: money is power. Due to the Monopoly analogy, the black community has little power. That's how it ties into your question and why Black Lives Matter.
Those economic and education inequalities may disproportionally impact blacks but they don't apply to just blacks; latinos, whites and others are also adversely impacted.

I support efforts to improve education for all but we need to leave it to the states come up with solutions. Every time the federal government gets involved they fvck it up and make the situation worse.

The focus needs to be on equal opportunity not the socialist goal of equal outcomes.

January 1964 President Johnson declared an "unconditional war on poverty" in America. The American taxpayers have spent $22 Trillion dollars on this 'war', and look where we are today. $22 Trillion of America's wealth has been redistributed to this cause so far to date, so throwing money at the problem obviously isn't the answer.

Jim Crow laws died over 50 years ago, so this argument about "ongoing systemic racism" is a myth. Many of the answers to the problems are staring you directly in the face, but you and the others refuse to acknowledge them.

More money is spent on welfare per year than the one time bank bailouts. The banks are healthy. The welfare recipients are mostly still in poverty.

The way I understand the organization, it's not just unjustifiable white on black crime, but all unjustified crimes against minorities.

#BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes. By combating and countering acts of violence, creating space for Black imagination and innovation, and centering Black joy, we are winning immediate improvements in our lives.

1. BLM gained their claim to fame in 2014 based in a lie, the ‘Hands Up Don’t Shoot’ false narrative out of the Ferguson incident.
2. You left out reparations and wealth distribution among other radical demands. The co-founder even admitted to being a trained Marxist.
https://m4bl.org/policy-platforms/
3. Had BLM rallies in 2015 & 2016 where there were chants calling for the killing of police officers. Shorly after one of those 2016 rallies there were 5 officers killed in Dallas amd 3 in Baton Rouge.
4. As I stated before, the BLMers focus on the handful of George Floyd’s every year, and ignore the 7k mas or menos black on black homicides every year because those don’t make for good headlines, riots and protests. All they are doing is creating Ferguson effects in cities all across thr country which will = MORE dead blacks.

What?
The banks aren't getting the stimulus. They are the "brokers" of the government stimulus money to give to needy businesses. Banks have traditional lending rules that does not allow them to give loans in many of the COVID-related hardship cases. The government stimulus lending rules are much more relaxed.

-Not an opinion on their policy platform calling for wealth redistribution and reparations. Its in their policy platform.
-Not an opinion on how they gained national prominence after the 2014 Ferguson incident (I misspoke when said 2015). They were founded in 2013 after the Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman case, but according to their wiki page, gained national prominence in 2014 after the Ferguson incident. The DA’s report (democrat BTW) found after an extensive investigation the ‘Hands Up Don’t Shoot’ narrative was shown to be not true. Fact.
-Not an opinion on FBI stats (latest 2018) on the number of black on black homicides. Fact.

My opinions were their policy platforms being marxist, the rallies playing a part in the killings of police officers, and we’ll see a Ferguson effect across the country which will = more black deaths.

I agree. Successful retail industries and sales aren’t a need either. They are a want. I could go my whole life living off the land, foraging, wearing skins, rubbing sticks together.

The problem is that we systemically kept blacks in poverty for centuries and still keep them in poverty through economic and educational inequalities (in addition to a racist criminal justice system).

The solution has to come from people like us who can vote to distribute wealth more fairly because in our system: money is power. Due to the Monopoly analogy, the black community has little power. That's how it ties into your question and why Black Lives Matter.
That’s total BS. There are literally hundreds of institutions, government programs, educational benefits and regulations specifically designed to give blacks a leg up.

And NONE of that Monopoly video explains why BLM chooses to focus on the .1% and virtually ignores the 99.4%.
