OK, if you think living in the hood and receiving the EITC that you seem to think affords luxury items--be my guest. Quit yer job, sign up for a section 8 voucher (if the list is even open) and wait years to get it, then sign up for Medicare, start taking in kids to watch in your living room and then live a grand life. Personally, I think you cray cray. Good luck if you think that is a better life than what you currently have. Next you'll tell me you're jealous of homeless people cause they don't have to cook.
And you have highly questionable reading comprehension skills but good at spin and hyperbole. I hear CNN pays well.
Where is their free daycare in America? We don't have that.
Some companies offer free daycare to their employees. Is that what you're referring to?
Actually, when we immigrated and were on welfare, until we completed our education, we did have free child care. Older boy didn't qualify, he was 11 by that time, but our 3 yo went to - not sure, what's the name - Even Start , or something, that helped us a lot while we went to ESL and other classes. It's been long time, I do not remember specifics of all the programs, but we had him covered until he went to school.
Maybe it depends on income level? We lived off $620 a month, family of 4.
Still, how do you explain that a black was president of the United dates.
Still, how do they explain that blacks are Senators, Governor, Mayors, High school principles, actors singers, millionaires NOT related to sports, and in sports being blacks are only 1/3 of our population, a LOT of whites pay their salaries, CEO's, president of big and small companies where most of the people who work their are white, doctors, lawyers, managers, newscaster on national TV, and every other high position job and every other level of jobs in America.
Other then the original list not 1 person has offered any other case of "systemic" racism.
Huh, even black slave owners.
Easy Google.
Also, do not forget, that across entire 19th century and into the first decades of the 20th, blacks, as freed slaves, were offered free path and financial aid to move back to Africa. Which they overwhelmingly declined (?? if they are so much NOW into their African heritage, that even white democrats kneel, wearing Quanza symbols) and, those who did move to Liberia, created exactly same society, only this time, it was black supremacy over local blacks. Apparently, they were "better kind".
Again, easy find on Google about Liberia origins.
I, also, want to point out one historical fact. Racism is modern invention. I'd say, about over 250 years ago, if not less, racism was not known. All over the world, you had people, promoted based on their virtues and skill, not on their skin color. You were, what you are, not "white" or "black" or else. Also, in the same times, slaves were slaves. They were not exclusively black or red. They were whatever slave traders picked.
I am also tempted to suggest to be more specific when talking about "white slave traders". As "whites" are also not the same all across the world. A lighter skin color does not make you white and, certain lighter skinned folks run certain trade houses that specialized in slave trade. Maybe, THEY should be charged with reparations, not ALL of light skinned people? Again, do your research.
