Right..because you're just the one that posts graphs and studies showing what shitbags black people are compared to whites. Why don't you own your pathetic racism Syne? It would give you more credibility than this charade you perform of being some crusader for bettering the black race, which ofcourse wouldn't need bettering if you didn't assume they were all just shitbags.They don't need bettering. It's not a matter of them exercising some dubious freewill in a vaccum. They need to be given the same opportunities that white folk get as their own birthright. Just a little hand up against the constant discrimination they face in hiring and the poverty they struggle to get out of and which deprives them of the benefits of a good education, affordable housing, affordable healthcare, and good jobs.
Look..Nobody is forcing these benefits on them. They still have the freewill to refuse the help and struggle on their own. So it is ridiculous to assert they are made worse by these benefits. Helping people economically only helps them over time exercise more freedom and independence. It gives them more choices not fewer ones.
And besides, how can receiving benefits hold black people back if as you insist not even poverty and racism holds them back? They always have freewill right? They are always able to make free choices in a vaccum of indetermination as you insist. You're delusional.
Wow, you're really just coming right out with your racism now. I don't, but apparently you interpret this graph (from the center-left Brookings Institute) as implying blacks are "shitbags" (and you keep repeating that vile description with seeming glee).

The ONLY reason you could even try to make these claims is because you deny the agency of blacks.
Why don't you own the minority destroying policies you advocate with your support of racist Democrats (slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, minority dependence)?
So you think black lives/circumstances DON'T "need bettering"?! O_o
Of course you don't. You're happy to have them as a permanent underclass. What kind of insecure little prick needs others to do worse so you can feel better about youself? Apparently racists like you. I keep assuming you're trying to shame people for their privilege, but you're really crowing about it.
You infantilize them as needing to be given things and outright deny their agency. That is what slave owners did, saying the black man couldn't care for himself or behave in a civilized manner without the lash.
Again, the oppression they suffer from is at the hands of Democrat policies, where they are most segregated into poor neighborhoods in areas run by Democrats for decades, causing their schools to fail and placing them further from good jobs and healthcare access (except for abortion services).
Oh, how gracious of you to allow them to turn down your benevolent help. You can hear the condescending derision dripping off your "They still have the freewill to refuse the help and struggle on their own." You presume that, without your white help, they will struggle. Paying more in welfare than they can get at a full-time job only ensures they remain dependent on your oh so gracious white teat. "Affordable housing" is a dog whistle for ghetto, "affordable healthcare" a dog whistle for abortion services, and there are no good jobs in those neighborhoods...and none that pay better than welfare.
It's hard for blacks to make good choices when they are raised as victims, treated as infants, and given perverse incentives to remain so. That you can't see the obvious consequences of the policies you advocate just demonstrates how far you're repressed your acknowledgement of your vile racist motives. Black economics were improving steadily before LBJ's Great Society, but they've never improved since then.
