Is It Race or Personal Choices That Determine Poverty Rates?

the black conservative movement is very. no it's not covered by the media at all. and you're the biggest voice in it but. there's tons of people out there coleman. hughes whatever a lot of different. people and the media ignores this like. it's not happening and some of the most. interesting conversations. that are happening online are are black. conservatives that are. talking about. uh american policy. and and and disagreeing and and and it's. very very interesting trump made gains.

with minority voters you know what do. you think explains that because we've. had the most. strenuous year for race relations. probably in in in that i can remember. and donald trump is a very volatile. figure gains with minority voters what. would you attribute that to. people like me independent voices uh. people are not buying it anymore and and. goes back to what we talked about. earlier the fatigue of victimhood i mean. if if you weren't tired of being just.

black this year when everything oh. you're struggling you know you're just. being black i mean at a certain point i. kept saying black america is going to. wake up to this game you can't just keep. doing this every four years and popping. around and then black lives matter black. lives matter disappearing like a magic. act and then jumping back in you know. for the next election cycle eventually. black people are going to get smart um. and and that's what's happening you know. we're having conversations we have our. own platforms this is the reason why the. left is ignoring us but at the same time. pushing for social media censorship. because it's problematic when people.

like canis owens can gain you know. millions and millions of followers and. you know they are no longer relying on. the mainstream narrative about race. right they have another option and that. option sounds a lot better than waking. up every day and being miserable just. because of the color of your skin and. seeing yourself as a victim like it's it. just feels better i have a better. product right you get to go out and be. happy and live your life and you can do. anything you want because this is the. greatest country in the world versus you. are a victim permanently a victim your. life is going to suck forever because. you were born with brown skin but i.

think it's i i think it would be fair to. say. that black people face a different set. of challenges than white people they. they you know in many in many cases. right. and that. specifically well i think that if you. look at where i grew up i grew up in. long island and long island a lot of my. friends were able to inherit homes. because their parents got loans after. world war ii or their grandparents got. loans after world war ii to buy these. houses and they created the suburbs i.

think a lot of black people were. excluded not only from those loans but. also from like those communities like. realtors that show black people houses. would be threatened and it was like. so the suburbs and the house which. seemed like the the engine of wealth for. a lot of middle-class families right. building equity in something ownership. if black people were excluded from that. so i feel like there is a little bit of. catch-up being played certainly if. there's not because it doesn't explain. or account for the reason that black. americans during my grandfather's time.

did better than black americans during. my father's time so that defeats your. entire argument right well what do you. mean. so what happened. from you know the 1950s. through to the 1970s that black. americans became more impoverished you. know. owned less homes and became more reliant. upon the government structure and the. truth is is we married the government. welfare and now whether you want to. argue whether or not that was strategic. and whether it's the fault of the. government and lyndon baines johnson uh. you know for opposing the great society.

act which is what married black women to. the government that's an argument you. can have but you can't say it's because. there's this long-standing black. american just couldn't break away if you. look at the 100 years following slavery. black americans did well the fact that. black americans performed better. economically under jim crow laws than. they are doing today you just cannot. point to a systemic racism it has to do. with choices the choices that we made to. marry the government and the fact that. we cannot out think this government. structure that you know black americans. still believe in the victimhood and will.

take the handouts that black americans. will take to the streets and demand you. know aoc right now is saying we need to. make sure you know black and brown. people the government pays them to stay. home well hello welfare policies that. you know were the first in that couple. black america in the first place that. they're being reintroduced right now. under cloven 19. so i always see right. now we have a choice right now if we're. going to give another 100 years to black. poverty by all the saying yes to more. government handouts we don't need. government handouts that's the biggest. issue is more and more and more from the. government the government is not our.

parent it's not our mother it's not our. father it was an attack on the black. family um but if we don't wake up to. that we're never going to get ahead. black people make the worst decisions. out of every um out of every group in. america and and you can compare us to. who who is the most successful group in. america it's not white americans so your. argument about you know white americans. is it asian. it's asia i forget who it is. is it.

yeah so nobody wants to talk about. asians because it you know it defeats. all the arguments well why people had it. easier because no one's going to say. asian people during world war ii were. japanese people were internment camps. right well that should be the title. by americans today the title of your. next book should be nobody wants to talk. about asians can't buy candace house. yeah i do understand but as as a white. person i always say to myself i was a. druggie i drove around i did not get.

pulled over nearly as much as my black. friends i feel like they. 100 are more likely to get pulled over. and more likely to go to jail and we're. doing a lot of the same things right i. was uh you know irresponsible reckless. human being and i just feel like i maybe. had i definitely had certain advantages. that put me in a better position versus. a kid you know just the idea that i had. money for a lawyer so if like if there's. a black kid who got caught smoking uh.

blunt and went to jail. um and he went to jail and my parents. could maybe get me a lawyer to get me. out of it that to me is it's easier. being white than if that's the right but. here's what's wrong you just brought up. a good point and then you racialized it. okay rich people yes yes economic. privilege is a real thing it didn't. happen because you're white right so it. didn't matter if you think that puff. daddy's son is not going to be better. off being pulled off if he has pot right. than some poor white kid you're wrong.

but you've accepted the argument because. of the color of your skin not because of. your economic circumstances right. because of your economic circumstances. oprah winfrey doesn't have any offstring. but i'll guarantee you that if they ever. got into trouble they'd be able to get. out malia and sasha obama who we know. like to smoke pot good you know good for. them they're you know they're enjoying. their uh teenage years right they are. not going to go through the same things. that a poor white trash kid is going. through stop racializing. people have more privilege do you think. we have common sense do you think we. should legalize weeds so that we don't. have this crazy drug war that's putting.

people in jail. no i mean listen i i i i have to think. through those arguments more because i. do think that first and foremost i i. think conservatives that pretend like. pot is the worst thing in the entire. world. are just completely crazy and out of. control um but the issue is the slippery. slope argument and we know that's real. because right now in california what are. they doing trying to. um with a heroin and methamphetamine. they're trying to make it so you just. get a ticket and keep going so the.

problem with the left is that you never. just stop at one thing you're not like. okay you legalize pot and they're gonna. be done right they're like already in. california pushing for decriminalizing. methamphetamine and heroin and and this. is now an argument that we have to fight. so it's hard to find what the right. answer is when you know that it's it's. never enough to do one thing meaning a. couple years ago it was all about just. gay marriage just gay marriage i mean. the second the supreme court passed gay. marriage we were on trans rights and we. it's been shoved down our throat uh and.

now we're at kids picking their gender. and bathroom signs need to all to be all. inclusive and men name tampons in their. restroom so i mean i i don't know where. i stand on it completely because i i. understand but isn't there a little bit. of a you know. listen slippery slope argument certainly. makes a lot of sense but isn't there so. much pain happening because of. non-violent drug offenders being in jail. for so long it's disproportionately. affected people that are as you said. economically disenfranchised lots of. them happen to be black and hispanic i.

just feel like there's so much pain. there's so many real world consequences. to that particular law that we should. especially when it is legal. yeah it is legal in certain parts of the. country and people are becoming. millionaires yeah okay so criminalizing. is different than saying making it legal. um and and i agree with you i think we. spend a lot of time uh you know the idea. of anyone being in prison for smoking. pot is just ridiculous. where are you. where are you are you strictly pro-life. no abortion no matter what see i don't.

know we don't know where candace owens. feels about every single issue we don't. are you like 100. never can have an abortion or is there. any gray area with you. the problem is that there's no gray area. with the left right so i'm pro-life i'm. unapologetically pro-life because i. understand now as someone who used to be. pro-choice um just how brainwashed you. are as a young girl in school about. abortion i mean until i was 25 i thought. it was just a clump of cells which is. crazy i mean that's just so that's.

they're fundamentally teaching you um. that that abortion is birth control um. and that you it is the responsible thing. for you to you know kill your child and. when you look when i actually understood. the history of abortion and studied. margaret sanger and understood that it. was actually a eugenicist movement um. where people were trying to get rid of. black people having any offspring and we. look at the numbers and you realize that. it is black americans that are giving. disproportionately uh the black. population would be double today if it. wasn't for abortion that's a scary thing.

to even say and that these clinics are. being put strategically in black and. hispanic neighborhoods um you know i. haven't i have an issue with what. abortion was designed to do and the fact. that it's been largely successful um you. know by margaret sanger but you know. through and through is as an american. success story you know she wanted to. make sure people um that were black and. brown. as well as immigrants from eastern. europe. were not able to have any offspring so i. have an issue because i'm educated about. it.
