Nailed it. Welcome to the Trump base.

And what does it tell us about the blacks that have been here for centuries longer?

There were laws in place to oppress and take any wealth generated by blacks. The poor white are poor because they are lazy.

LOL. No black person is poor at this moment in time because of laws in place more than half a century ago. If you think the average white person is benefiting from some kind of generational wealth, you need to get out more.

Inhabitants of the DC provincial bubble do need to get out more, but good luck telling them.

Gosh. If only this had ever been studied?

https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2021/12/17/inheritances-by-race#:~:text=Across%20all%20age%20groups%2C%20White,average%2C%20differs%20slightly%20by%20race.

Oh. Wait.

"Across all age groups, White households on average inherit about $15,000, about five times more than Black families and over six times more than Hispanic families"

In other words, it's Hispanics who could be whining...but instead they are working hard and getting ahead. Same as any minority group or person who wants.

Don't be so openly racist.

In other words, all of the yammering you and your buddies do about how Black people have no disadvantages against poor White people is, on average, $12,000 wrong.

That’s the difference between having a car payment and a paid off car. Or a paid for Associates vs a student loan. In other words, life changing money for many.

(DP) That survey also says that the probability of receiving an inheritance at all for all people is between 2.4 and 11%, so this seems to be a lot of focus on a very small number of people who might actually receive an inheritance. It really should not be generalized to the full electorate. Also, if the 5% of wealthiest people were eliminated from the survey, or even just the 1%, the averages would be very different.

It never ends though. A property in a predominantly white community is more valuable than an identical property in a predominantly black community. That is true anywhere in America. The schools aren’t equal. The black homeowner in a black neighborhood probably has a lower credit rating and higher interest rate. The white-owned house in the white-neighborhood with the majority white school appreciates rapidly in value. The black-owned house in the black neighborhood with the majority black school may not appreciate at all.

Amazing how Cletus making $16 an hour at the feed plant somehow thinks he's personally footing the brunt of the bill through his taxes to pay for that imaginary vision of millions of the unwashed hordes of ghetto baby mamas and illegal aliens to have free big screen tvs, steak and lobster every night and a free place to live in luxury.

Amazing that he hasn't realized that the only people his Republicans lower taxes for are for millionaires, billionaires and big companies.

Amazing that he hasn't realized his "shit wages" are because his Republican friends want to keep wages low even as worker productivity and corporate profits keep increasing year after year.

Yep. Rural white men are the biggest bunch of crybabies in the US.

The world is waiting for them, but too many just want to drink their lives away while they bit ch about women and minorities.

Oh and farmers absolutely get help from the government. But they think the deserve the help.

True, but what does that have to do with the 90% of the country that will not be inheriting anything? Most houses are mortgaged to the hilt and are sold to pay off the debts of the deceased, or these days to pay for nursing homes.

Rural white men are what keep 95% of this country moving. Truckers, train drivers, pilots, road crews, DOT, soldiers, on and on and on down the line...

Right; don’t generalize people.

The moronic MAGA crowd deserves what they vote for but there are many hard working men who do a great benefit to society. I have no issues with them.

I have issues with the ones who constantly complain and blame
Minorities for taking “their” jobs

No that is a myth. 10% of the country does not provide 95% of the truckers, train drivers, pilots, DOT, soldiers. That is a stupid statement.

And the welfare dig sounds like a dog whistle to me.

You are part of the problem, frankly. He doesn't need nor does he want government programs. He wants to be left alone by the government. As do many of us.
He is complaining about the WAY our tax dollars are being spent. No accountability for welfare. Our youth are dying from fentanyl and little to no effort to stop the drugs from coming to our country. Our hard earned money going to foreign countries in the BILLIONS, if not TRILLIONS, and we have people here who have no homes and no food.

He's not been "brainwashed" at all. He has lived it. He has seen the waste of tax money. He speaks for millions.

So are you/he for welfare or against welfare. I mean if people don’t have homes or food.. what do you propose? Less bombs for Ukraine and more
subsidized housing, TANFF, disability checks and food stamps (welfare) for poor people???

I’m so confused?

He wants to be left alone by the government. As do many of us.

This is a familiar note from MAGAs. How is the government not already leaving you alone? What specifically are they doing to you? Not something you "feel," something they, "the government," are actually doing to you.

There were laws in place to oppress and take any wealth generated by blacks. The poor white are poor because they are lazy.

Poor whites did not have advantages either. They were never slaves and could vote, yes. No opportunities for scholarships or higher education. No rental assistance or health care. Food stamps were available. They were looked down upon and arrested for minor infractions of the law. Many teachers scorned them as well.

I grew up in the rural South. Every white guy I grew up with got as good a job as he tried to get, and most did not go to college. Historically, poor Southern whites who wanted out of their home town joined the military or moved to industrial cities for auto, steel, or other skilled trades jobs while the Black migrants got only the hard labor jobs. If the Southern boys stayed in the rural South, they were Barney Fifed - hired as cronies or relatives of the sheriff or mayor or county supervisor, or they got hired, no questions asked, wherever their father or uncle or brother-in-law worked. The rural and small town South was and is still very clannish.

The military has been disproportionately black for decades so your statement that whites joined the military while blacks got only hard labor jobs isn't born out by statistics. Black people have pulled more than their weight in terms of percentage of the military vs the US population.

False. And get out of here with any stolen valor shit. 90% of all combat dead are white boys.

DP.... 90% is a made-up statistic if you're talking about Iraq, Afghanistan or any other campaign of the last 60 years. For example, in the opening years of the Vietnam War, more than 20% of the combat dead were blacks.

Overall, our military is 67% white, 20% black (which is a lot considering blacks only make up 12% of the US population), 6% asian, remainder latino, native american, hawaiian etc. Source: https://demographics.militaryonesource.mil/ And blacks are definitely pulling their weight in our armed services and likewise, the combat dead statistics track with the demographics.

So, how about YOU get out of here with YOUR stolen valor "90% white" shit and made-up statistics. You clearly haven't been in the service or for that matter even spent any time on a military base recently if you honestly think the military is "90% white."

Do you really want to discuss who just wants to drink their lives away?

If we actually allowed true lassez faire capitalism to run free in America, these rural whites would mostly be homeless within a decade. Farmers are some of the biggest welfare queens in this country. Appallachia and the Deep South contain taker states that bite the hand that feed them. Without the federal government, the living standards in those states would be on par with developing nations. Yet all they do is complain.

This thread is a fascinating mirror to the one on $170k salaries (plus benefits) for UPS drivers.
