These things that I have typed in this thread are based on US history.

American black people were denied access to government that is historical fact.

The whole idea of race is based on racism, white supremacy and black inferiority, that is historical fact.

The US government has always served the needs of some white people that is historical fact.

That white racists have historically been vehemently against black people gaining access to government services that is historical fact.

So no I have not stated any beliefs in this thread. And what I wrote about US history is not based on my perceptions whatever that means.

I am not avoiding anything, your question is irrelevant to this thread.

Furthermore, all of the public assistance programs we now have are setting up a ticking poverty time bomb because of the following 2 reasons:

Nearly half of all U.S. births are paid for by Medicaid (medical care public assistance program for the poor).

Those who receive public assistance have a birth rate 3 times higher than those who don't. Stats and citations, here:

Lol you can't be serious. You think the US government hell every government ever created has not served the needs of some of its citizens?

I didn't write anything specifically about public assistance programs of they kind you have in mind any way being the only way the US government serves the needs of some of its citizens although in my view all US government help/programs are public assistance and you are wrong public assistance programs have existed for longer than 50yrs in this nation.

The fact that you won't answer the question (multiple times) told me everything I needed to know about you. I know what you're about now. It's pretty much what I figured.

Do you know what I said your 'perception' of US History? Most of your posts equate white racists to white people.

And what does this even mean? The whole idea of race is based on racism, white supremacy and black inferiority, that is historical fact.

Race, as used in the classification sense, actually derives from an anthropological context. THAT is historical fact.

Our country can no longer afford to subsidize an exponentially growing welfare-dependent class. Show them the shocking statistics:

Nearly half of all U.S. births are paid for by Medicaid (medical care public assistance program for the poor).
Medicaid Pays For Nearly Half of All Births in the United States | publichealth.gwu.edu

Those who receive public assistance have a birth rate 3 times higher than those who don't. Stats and citations, here:

Hard for anyone to not understand what an impending disaster those are.

That is the tradition you are carrying forth.
Like IC said. Not all Black people are hood rats and not all anglo white people are upper level college grads. Malia Obama has it BETTER than probably 99 percent of ALL girls her age in the US of ANY skin color.

Via means-tested federal public assistance programs? Yes. Many countries don't. The U.S. only started doing so 50 years ago.

Private programs? Yes. State programs? Yes. Federal programs? No.
