Prof. Glenn Loury | Systemic Racism, Trump and BLM

[@girlwriteswhat]

I'm in Canada. Shortly after the BLM thing really picked up steam, we had our own racial reckoning shoved down our throats by the media. So I'm listening to CBC and they're interviewing some academic about racial disparities in food insecurity between whites and blacks in Canada. Controlling only for household income and homeownership, he concluded that because a higher percentage of blacks experience food insecurity even at the same income level and even as homeowners, this must point to a problem of systemic racism. I was like, what? What about different cultural attitudes towards spending (clothes, cars, furniture, etc)? What about controlling for the number of times the family eats out versus cooking at home? The amount of money people spend on personal grooming (manicures, hairstyling, etc)? Why must we pretend there's some kind of systemic, racist force keeping black people from going to the grocery store?

Hi again, Karen! You're not only in Canuckistan, you are everywhere. Especially in the hearts of all BATB listeners. As always, it's good to see you in the chats! To your point: I think it's easier for many "academics" to perpetuate these sorts of false equivalencies due to intellectual laziness but in the end it's a self defense mechanism. The reason why they don't seems to be clear. They know they're wrong and if they admit even one inch of ground to the truth, their delicately crafted web of self-deceit evaporates rather quickly.

[@cdc3]

It's also fascinating that this attitude has been echoed in the Falasha Jews in Israel, those who were rescued by Israel from oppression in their own land of Ethiopia in a dramatic air lift program and settled in Israel as citizens. These are people who owe a debt of gratitude and yet somehow have come to see themselves as victims in the country which rescued them at this time. All of this comes from a Marxist activism run rampant in the world today, one which seeks to divide so that it can conquer and rule EVERYONE...

[@daraharvey4519]

For a start, we need to stop looking to traditional, mainstream media as a source of fact and critical analysis. These are businesses driven to make money and entertain their audience, not to inform people. And too many viewers don’t know the difference, nor do they seem to care.

I think constantly telling a group of people that the entire system is designed to keep them from achieving has an effect. Why bother trying if there is no point because the “system” is against them? That really is an abusive technique. I don’t know what it was like everywhere, but when I was growing up in the ‘70s and ‘80s we were always told we could do whatever we wanted if we really worked for it. While that may have been somewhat exaggerated, at least it helped people strive instead of give up. I saw a man on the street interview with a black conservative watching a protest and he said he grew up without a lot of money, and said he wouldn’t say poor because his father taught him that poor is a mindset. That really got me thinking. What a profound statement! It’s so true.

Hell black people are still mad because he was supposed to be the "president for black people."

@@godzillamegatron3590 are you willing to put on a uniform and a gun and go out into these streets, answering calls for help? I believe it's the nature of the job most of the time, police largely are only involved when there's a report of trouble, and they go in "on guard." Certainly there are some bad shootings, and some of those are prosecuted. It looks like about 1/2 the cases brought against police end in conviction. They do have special protection Because they go into danger as a community service. There is new legislation requiring all law enforcement agencies to start reporting use of force to the the FBI for a database, rather than the cities, counties, states only keeping track.. that should help weed out habitatual offenders/abusive cops. Personally, I don't think patrol officers should stay on the streets for very long, maybe 5 or 10 years, I'm sure some of what they witness hardens them, and they should be screened for mental health the same as an annual physical. I believe most people don't want to murder others, including police people. And I believe if someone pointed a gun at me, I'd shoot first.

These people jsut need a real good god damn beating for once in there life they need consequence. These are the kids raised withought spankins and not allowed to fail grades and not allowed to loose any game in sports. This is what happens when we dont teach our children the value of hard work and no consequences for there actions. Entire generations of young adults have been indoctrinated at school to think this way! We had this shit beat when i was in high school in the 90s we just did not even talk about racism becuase it was not a problem! We all knew and understood that all of us where equal. We did mot even think about this. There was some people that where racist but they where so so small an amount of people. My high school had 1500 students.. maybe 3 of them where full blown skin heads. Nazi tattoos and pins and shaved heads and they did lash out on people of color but not just blacks anyone that was not white. but never ever did they get away with it. If other people where around at lunch break outside nobody let this shit carry on. They would be run out of the area by the mob of students watching. There was times that they had people of color alone and they did beat them up. But they never got away with it. Always they got suspended and charges laid. Seeing this made us feel very upset nobody let this shit happen. Sometimes there was fights between a black man and white man but it was never ever becuase of skin colour. Canadians absolutely will not stand for anybody being treated in this manor. We need to take a page from trumps book and ban all forms of critical race theory, white fragility, cancel culture, systemic racism, wokeness in general. These theorys will destroy our civilization as we know it. These social justic warriors are destroying the very fabric of our society. If you beleive in any of these theorys then your lost truly lost. We should be proud of our history and this way of thinking is absolute poison and makes you hate you country and want to tear it down. This is not a freedom of speech matter this is a protecting our society and standing up against false information that will destroy our childrens mind. The newest generations we just raised have gone so damn wrong in the worste way ever. It is becuase of this way of thinking!!!! We need to outlaw this entire way of thinking and social justice culture in a whole. These people act like we still have colored water and eating areas and separate living conditions. The fact is today all black minorities have the exact same opportunity that everyone else has. We have not discriminated people for decades. We need to wake up and we need to wake up now!

Professor Loury has a way of speaking which has you learning things without realizing it. That is a rare talent. Much respect sir.

[@josephcamp8602]

It’s so nice to have a very intellectual Black man like Mr. Loury speak with such integrity, facts, and just plain common sense. I think that is lacking, especially amongst so many Black leaders (especially those that just want to blame everything on Whitey and take no responsibility for anything themselves). It’s refreshing, and there needs to be more people like you who are level headed and have a common sense approach to what is happening today. I think we, as Americans, will be in a lot of trouble for the future if voices like yours fails to penetrate the ears of those who make the most important decisions for our society and country. I really appreciate your thoughts on the many issues that are taking place today. Thanks Mr. Loury! - Hope your voice and insight is heard! Very much needed.

Nothing has harmed Black America more than the rise of the welfare state and Democrat policy. In 1960, which would be nearly 100 years after the end of slavery, only 22% of black families were single parent. In 1980, before the crack epidemic and just 20 years after the welfare state, that number had increased to 52%. In the 1990's, that number had increased to over 70%. After 30 years of the welfare state, single parent black families more than TRIPLED! If you look at some of the worst metropolitan areas in the country for Black Americans such as St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, New Orleans, and Chicago: they're all Democrat-controlled. Now don't get me wrong, I don't trust Republicans, but we need to stop pretending like the Democrats are an ally to Black Americans.

[@JohnSmith-hs1hn]

Democrat policy? You do realize that 9 of the top 10 poorest states are all red? hahahahah. Also, it's amazing how white liberals are unaffected by these same democratic policies that you claim are intrinsically adverse.

[@Junglebtc]

@@JohnSmith-hs1hn Is that in terms of poor as in poor people living conditions unemployment etc or Federal budgets and budgetary constraints

[@anneinva13]

Exactly--Black politicians and white liberals are not the friends of the Black community. President Johnson said when he upped the welfare state-- "we'll have these n______ voting Democrat for the rest of their lives." That was the plan. One of the best ppl to listen to is Bob Woodson, a black commentator who marched with MLK. According to statistics that he has found, out of the hundreds of millions that have been spent on the "war on poverty", 70 cents of EVERY one dollar spent has not gone to ppl in poverty but to those who are supposedly helping those in poverty--i.e., the politicians, the race baiters (Sharpton, et al), the "charities", etc. It's eye opening!I I don't trust politicians--Democrat or Republican, the "uniparty"--but I do trust Pres. Trump, who was single handedly getting jobs and other opportunities to ALL Americans, before the globalists unleashed the pandemic on our world! Pray he gets another 4 yrs to rid our country of ALL government corruption--to drain the deep state swamp!
