Nearly 80% of white Republicans say America has done enough to help Black people

A new Axios-Ipsos poll has revealed that White Republicans believe enough has been done for Black Americans in the fight against racism. The results come in just one year after the death of George Floyd, reported by Mediaite.

Maybe they feel to have any self respect and confidence you need to stand on your own two feet instead of getting participation trophies all the time. Makes sense to me. I certainly am part of the 80%. Black people aren't white people's pets. They can take care of themselves just fine and certainly don't need people telling them they can't without white people's help. Goodness.

Then why don't Republicans advocate banning all government welfare? They often talk of standing for personal responsibility.

Because that's the part to which I was responding. I always only quote the part I'm addressing. Makes the conversation less confusing, I think.

80%? it should be 110%. What more government programs and more quotas they want? Their own Hollywood, their own sports? their own directv network with over 100 channels on HD and 4k? until blacks takes all the Oscars and Grammys then it's not enough.

There was a reason I mentioned the rest of what I said. Everything I had to say, I said for a reason, there was a message, something I was talking about.

No, it won't. Because the problem is biological, not economic. After the fools wasted anything they got they'd go on to complain about the next talking point and of course demand more money.

Because intelligent people recognize degrees. And many degrees exist between a cradle-to-grave Nanny State, and Dickensian sink or swim.

For instance, right now many Republicans want to end the extra $300 per week Covid unemployment benefit, whereas Democrats keep extending it.

you know the media is playing you like a flute. The poll questioned 1,165 Americans between March 1st and 2nd. That's less than 0.001% of the population. Yeah, I guess this is what the majority thinks.

And that message is still there for people to read.

Regardless of what white people have done, black people have been slow to help ourselves IMO.
