Fractally incorrect. What OP said is retarded. If white people like him didn't perceive the value of their house going down when a black guy moves in next door, then none of that is true. It is only true because of slavery in the beginning, having two-tiers of citizenship from Plessy v Ferguson until 1964, and red lining in American suburbs ever since.
If any of it is true it is because it is a self-fulfilling prophecy predicted and executed by people whose hearts and souls are full of feces. Godless swine merchants.
Probably 1954.
But what OP said is both true and false. It's unfortunate that liberal social welfare programs AND the left-wing destruction of the family, and virtual removal of the father from the family, are the primary reasons poverty has no chance of decreasing below 11 or 10%, because as we all know, it's minority poverty rates that drive the overall poverty rate, considering they constitute the majority of those living in poverty, they are also the ones who use government benefits with the purpose of living on them, and they are the ones who who don't have stable families and fathers, and the federal government is saying they don't give a shit about their family. Even if unemployment is at or near zero, or in the 3s or 4s as its been a few times, most recently 1999 or so, the poverty rate will continue to stay at 10%.
Mitt Romney was wrong. The 47% are not the problem. It's the 10%. And it's because of liberal economic and social policy.
