    Such a weird post that ignores Jim Crow or "thug" vigilanteism (KKK, law enforcement, blind courts, etc...) that kept blacks under heel well beyond slavery and took the Civil Rights Act to begin to address.

    Yeah, I get the point that black families or a homogenous "black culture" haven't been the most shining examples of economic success since the 1960's, but why ignore that the foundation for Black and minority (indigenous people) success remained rotten beyond a century after emancipation?

    That's at least 5 generations of r****dation or stagnation coming from overt or covert oppression.

    Many immigrants at least had a blank slate and outside capital to draw upon. They weren't indoctrinated into a culture of fear or a submissive hierarchy for their entire lives.

    Maybe that hierarchy is now totally different (challenged) for millennials onward, but Gen Xers and before certainly knew what America was about.

    I guess the comparison would be like the **** Kareem (post-Russel) had to go through in the League vs what social/cultural problems Jordan had...

    Statistically black families have been falling apart since the sixties

    The only "weird " thing is that it isn't common knowledge

    So why are you so much smarter than Jaggy?
    Is it his parents fault? his fault? or the system?

    wait if you are African American, you had the system against you right?
    So if we say the system was equal

    it was either his parents or his fault or both
    that you are superior to him

    That's one stat out of many. Black men didn't get any benefits from the GI Bill. We like hoisting soldiers as heroes but I guess you put up only one type of hero to sell war bonds. Instead they got shat upon and casted out...PTSD and all. And that's how they treated black folk who died for their country.

    Plenty of stats of Black discrimination from better jobs and housing, all of which are factors into whether a couple stays with a child out of wedlock.

    Then there's the incarceration which we still deal with to this day. Laws are laws until you afford a better lawyer to tip the scale...A better lobbyist to tilt them to your children's favor.

    Not sure why you're pretending one stat tells the whole story.

    The racial disparities in the gi bill were fixed in the fifties . That discrimination occurred in the forties You're 2 decades off. The sixties is after civil rights gains.

    Stop pretending you posted any statistics

    im on social media a LOT, and im noticing a lot more crime videos in my recommended feed on youtube from new york, chicago and houston involving african americans attacking other races of people. The left wing media and big tech is doing this by design and trying to make other groups racist againist black people, they are slowly turning our minority allies againist us with handpicked and selective stories in the news.

    making us the face of the asian hate crime bill was just the first step by this administration

    All of a part of jim crow joe's new america

    Their agenda is profit driven. The market dictates what videos are popular. Your tastes dictate what is in your news feed.

    It is whatever content that makes you want to come back for more is what is going to dominate your feeds.

    yea but everytime i log into youtube, i get a crime news story video from a local affiliate news station in new york or chicago. And these are videos that were uploaded not even 3 hours ago. So they are in my youtube feed like im subscribed to them but i dont even watch news channels online. This is big tech doing this.. and the the work of the democrat party. remmeber maxine waters said she was gonna make black men pay for voting trump

    That is because you've been clicking on the videos. When I log into YouTube I see a bunch of videos about Astronomy and American Dad clips because lately I've been watching videos about Astronomy and American Dad Clips and consequently YouTube feeds me more. This has nothing to do with Maxine Waters.

    This is not about mainstream media.

    If these things are showing up in your feed that means you are searching out that kind of stuff.

    And that kind of stuff is prevalent from a certain part of the media (Not the left wing).

    This was some carefully crafted BS.

    You might have had a chance at most people taking you serious until you went full on with that jim crow joe malarkey.:rolleyes:

    How YouTube determines its suggested video algorithm
    When suggesting videos for people to watch next, YouTube employs slightly different considerations. After a person has watched a few videos during a visit, the algorithm has more of an idea about what a person is interested in today, so it offers up some options on the right side of the screen:

    Don't use YouTube? Or don't scroll down YouTube's recommended list like you are surfing channels and only watch videos you specifically searched.

    Seems simple enough.
