Minorities blinded by liberal rhetoric

[Fresco]

If you say something loud enough and often enough eventually people will believe it, no matter if it's actually true.

Didn't a Nazi say this? That's ironic, really.

The prevailing thought is that liberals help minorities, and conservatives don't. This couldn't be further from the truth.

Well, historically, Conservatives don't help minorities. Most civil rights legislation has been passed under democratic administrations and liberal supreme courts. Republican's have a vested interest in getting the white vote, which is why they went so far as to play off of racial divides in their "southern strategy." Lee A****er summed it up in his anonymous

(warning: n word) in 1981. Lee A****er, by the way, worked as a campaign strategist for Nixon, Reagan, and as head campaign manager for George Bush Sr. More evidence for this "strategy" would be how Reagan started off his campaign in Philadelphia, Miss., which was very racist part of the country at the time.

Now, when you get down to the actual conservative policies, do they help minorities? Not only would cutting social safety nets like food stamps and welfare hurt minorities, the whole concept of cutting them has racist connotations as explained by Lee A****er. The War on Drugs, a Republican initiative, has also had a harmful effect on minority communities. Even little things, like voter ID laws and drug-testing for welfare recipients are detrimental and carry racist connotations.

In the 1930's FDR enacted a minimum wage law. They didn't raise the minimum wage at all in the 40's so it basically didn't exist. In 1949 black teenage unemployment was only 9%. Today it is 43%. Are people more racist today than in 1949? The answer is obviously no so we must turn back to the minimum wage law.

None of this made sense. First of all, they did raise the minimum wage in the 40s. You need to take into inflation and costs of living.

You're argument is that minimum wage has somehow had a detrimental effect on black youth. There is no evidence to suggest that the minimum wage law has had any effect on black youth in particular, as all youth unemployment has followed a similar trend. Although many economists used to believe that minimum wage increases caused unemployment, that started to change in the 21st century. Even before the 21st century, economists mainly attributed unemployment to many different things aside from minimum wage as there were only marginal unemployment increases depending on the state and cities when correlated with it. Those notions changed when Card and Krueger did a study about it in the 90s. Now many economists support minimum wage increases across the board.

What coincides with un-employment? Government dependence namely welfare. Welfare dependence is even extended into the public school system. Schools with lower test scores get the money, so why would they teach their kids? It's taking the schools check away. Really what a positive liberal contributions to minorities?

Is there any evidence for schools intentionally performing worse to get money? Or is that something else you parrot from other misguided conservatives?

But I don't blindly hate them. If their policies stood up to testing as being successful, then I'd have no choice but to agree with them

"If their policies stood up to testing as being successful, then I'd have no choice but to agree with them"

God, this is such a cringy statement. You realize most civilized countries wouldn't utilize welfare or minimum wages if they were absolute failures right?

I mean, you say dumb things like that while ignoring why we even started using "liberal policies" in the first place. I've seen a trend of conservatives, republicans, and libertarians ignore basic economics and history. Shit we all learn in school. Its very sad.

lmao Atwater is censored because it has **** in it.

for the entire first paragraph, I never said conservatives aimed to help minorities, they aim to help everyone equally. Liberals specialize in the poor and disenfranchised.


as for so called republican policies hurting minorities, the war on drugs is a big government move, so any real conservative would disagree with that. Just because a republican enacts something, doesn't mean its a conservative idea.



As for them raising the minimum wage in the 40's... they raised it to $.40 from $.30... In 1948 that was the equivalent of $4.04 an hour today. That wage is so low that there may as well have not been a minimum wage.


Minimum wage laws have had an effect on black youth as compared to youths as a whole, stop talking out of your ass. The last time black teenage unemployment was lower than white teenage unemployment was in 1930 the year before any kind of minimum wage law was passed. In 1931 the Davis Bacon act was passed, because businesses were underbidding the prevailing union wages for whites in the north on black labor(because they wouldn't let blacks in the Unions).

Again talking out of your ass about minimum wage.

"You can check this out for yourself. Go to your local public library and pick up a copy of the distinguished British magazine The Economist. Whether it is the current issue or a back issue doesn’t matter. Spain, Greece, and South Africa will be easy to locate in the table near the back, which lists data for various countries. Just look down the unemployment column for countries with unemployment rates around 25 percent. Spain, Greece, and South Africa are always there, whether or not there is a recession. Why? Because they have very generous minimum-wage laws. While you are there, you can look up the unemployment rate for Switzerland, which has no minimum-wage law at all. Over the years, I have never seen the unemployment rate in Switzerland reach as high as 4 percent. Back in 2003, The Economist reported: “Switzerland’s unemployment neared a five-year high of 3.9% in February.”"

One example of federal aid being provided to failing schools is the 2.9 billion we spend each year on "improving teacher quality". How do we measure teacher quality other than by their students failing? So if a school wants a share of that 2.9 billion then their teachers must be sub par,by default, their scores.

Maybe before you question conservatives learning of history, maybe you should provide some facts of your own.
