not enough pictures







further concentration of control of all aspects of industry (and thus wealth and power) has been a strong trend for the last 50 years and will continue to be ceteris paribus.

lol

The government helping black people, lmao. Helped them by giving them a ride here with a guaranteed job waiting, even counted them as three-fifths of a person. Later on they even let them eat in public places and ride on the front of the bus (many sit in the back still). The police are generally much more attentive of their needs, and the criminal justice system really embraces them as well. Hell, the state even gave them nice neighborhoods full of people like them through red lining and later on loan distribution. Now, the state is even taking it upon themselves for them to not even have to worry about voting for their elected leaders. And to top it all off, they've done so well economically they haven't needed a raise since the mid-1960's! What they're earning as a whole has even dropped compared to inflation!

Now that I think about it, I can see why so many Republicans think that the government does a lot to help blacks in America.

/s

Also, look at how much black people say the government helps them. Qft. You can pretty much murder their kids without getting in trouble as long as you're a cop or your case gets politicized like GZ.



Here is a funny one.



I'm not sure about how rigorous these studies are or anything, but pretty funny and interesting. I think it is accurate, if I use liberals and conservatives as PaRD as a microcosm.

Here is some data to put against the biases:







SNAP, the biggest social welfare program, ran by the Department of Agriculture due to it being a huge subsidized check to America's agricultural system and farmers (the GOP attacks farmers when they go after SNAP, remember that rural Americans), turns out to help mostly white people, who have families including children or elderly family members, and are employed and otherwise working.

The top two sources of income are earned income and social security savings, not social welfare programs. SSI is disability, individuals who are impaired for whatever reason and can't work. About 1/5th of the people on welfare it appears have no income (much lower than perceptions usually), and Temporary Aide to Needy Families is such a low percent of the radar that it has never really mattered as far as budgets are concerned, and the average amount of time a family receives help through TANF has been a steady two years since the 1970s...Reagan "reformed" it to limit it to 5 years , his welfare reform, which anybody who knows anything about social welfare just rolled their eyes at, but it helped him perpetuate the myth of the welfare queen to manufacture the white outrage and put racism right into the GOP platform....which we see is still affecting their biases even today according to popular opinions.

Holy misrepresentations, Batman!

Non-Hispanic whites as a share of the public at large are 63% of the population but only 40% of SNAP beneficiaries and blacks are 12% of the population, yet 25% of the SNAP beneficiaries, so this makes your point how?
