I wonder if anyone asked this shyster about the "income disparity" in his homeland of Nigeria?

Despite what you believe, government is necessary for a stable society. Anarcho-capitalism can't work in the real world, precisely because of wealth and income disparity. Equal protection would disappear

However, racism persists even until this very day. Shall we have yet another generation born into poverty and perhaps even another after that.

I believe that the care needed will always be insufficient when it comes to actual community requirements and the degree of problem solving received from whites.

African-Americans need to look more introspectively in order to solve their own problems.

If I push you overboard at sea, then you should not look for me to throw you a life jacket!

How does someone, whose entire household income is $32K/year, justify paying $12 for a paper plate of rice and mashed plantain?

That can't be the usual clientele of that restaurant.

I'm thinking there is something bogus about this whole story.

Your point that white people "are pushovers" is true only in the sense that all people are follwers and look to others for guidance and leadership. Once we've become sufficiently primed with propaganda and BS, it suddenly becomes easier to select a leader or person of influence and we then group-identify.

Im not seeing "whitey" holding a gun to Black folks' heads and forcing them to have a 72% unwed birth rate.

Why use "whitey" as a term of polarization, before we've had dialogue?

You seem to have analyzed the situation thoroughly enough to exactly state the source of the problem.

So the fact that the African-American family has always typically been weak, then that has nothing to do with slavery, the lack of culture, lack of family structure, and lack of culture, all due to failure to successfully assimilate within a racist society has absoutely nothing to with their existing societal problems.

So that would necessarily mean that all external forces outside their community are merely of an innocuous nature and should have very little or no effect upon their quality of life or their inability to develop strong familial bonds.

Why charge Whites more than Blacks for the same food? My comment directly addresses the point.

It doesn't. At all. That's why Blacks' unwed birth rate was significantly lower decades ago, closer to the time of slavery.
