Black people have always been stereotyped as lazy, particularly post-1866.

In my opinion, I think some individuals are here to vent any anti-Black anger they have. Just what I think. I base this on posts I've seen on city-data.com since March 2007.

What cold hard facts? Spit them out. Where’s your proof that whites are lazy? You only speak for yourself.

There are lazy people in every race. I don't think White people are lazier than other races. There are certainly some lazy White people, but I don't go around thinking "White people are lazy".

They migrated over from Breitbart and StormFront once Trump normalized the Alt Right.

Only Asians have a lower unemployment rate than whites.

Only Asians have a lower welfare rate than whites.

The poster known as .0007, literally didn't comprehend his own data. Whites for example have by far the highest average age, which means more retirees = lower labor force participation.

You also imply that whites live off of others ("daddy's privilege") instead of earning their own keep. Then I suppose it is called "welfare privilege" for the race that is about 5 times more likely to be on welfare living off of others than whites.
I mean it is racist to imply what the poster implied. There are many conservatives who use this exact opposite form of rhetoric on this board as well. That is racist too. Many conservatives on this board don’t have issues with the endless threads that imply the black people are just mooches who continue to only vote for the democrats to get their freebies.

I can agree that rural America is real America if you can agree that many of our large metropolitan areas are real America as well. There is a symbiotic relationship between these areas that make this country great, political differences aside.

Ever read "Atlas Shrugged"?

At some point, it just isn't worth it.

That poster did not imply it, he outright said a racist comment.

That poster said a blatantly racist comment and you rush in to downplay, sanitize, and finger point that other people are racists too.

If you are truly opposed to racism, call it out when you see it. Don't equivocate.
