Correlation is not causation.
Not true. There have literally been dozens if not hundreds of books written about exactly that topic. You just don't want to consider those other perspectives.
There were fewer big cities in the South, especially back in the '60s.
You made the claim, you back it up with something other than your usual bucketloads of attitude.
I can explain why increases in black crime and illegitimacy, and five years of black ghetto rioting followed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the War on Poverty. You can't.
Wrong. You've got a hypothesis that you are convinced is correct because it fits with your racist beliefs. I could provide any number of studies that provide better-supported answers, but everyone here knows you would ignore them.
Anyone who believes that 1) has never tried living on welfare, and 2) is willfully ignorant of how the cops treat Black Americans in general today.
When Aid for Families with Dependent Children was introduced during the 1930's as part of the New Deal, it was specifically restricted to widows, deserted wives, and their legitimate children.
Of course you don't. You're ignoring the fact that at that same time, second-wave feminism and the sexual revolution were helping put an end to the stigma of out-of-wedlock births, and that what really soared was not the rate of illegitimacy but rather of reported illegitimacy. Before then, people lied about their daughters going to "visit her aunt in the Midwest" and then put the baby up for adoption, or raise hir to think hir mother was really hir sister.
No, you're not. You always just respond with "What have I ever said that isn't true?", ignoring the fact that I and others have answered that dozens of times already.
As I said, that is because you always just ignore a good argument. Why bother?
Which is why I explained above why you've got it all wrong.
You can put forth your simplistic, racist hypothesis as many times as you want. In no way does that prove you've got the answer or that others haven't.
The racist perspective really, really wants to claim victimhood.
You are denying statistics that you choose not to believe.
You have not presented any facts. You just keep jumping up and down yelling "Racist! Racist! Racist!" I present facts that I document.
It is their essential argument, a way to virtue-signal their Social Justice mores which makes them better people than you or I. When Racist is your go-to to shut down discussion, then you do not need to think, debate or even provide proof. All that you have to do in the minds of so many Leftists is to scream it loud and long, spike the ball and declare victory (over Racism).
sounds ruff.
Both my parents worked. I turned out reasonably well. At least I did not become a criminal. Criminals frequently do not know who their fathers are. Even their mothers are not sure.
My mother started working as soon as me and my brother left home. I became a Heathen in college.
You turned out a racist piece of shit, that's hardly what I would call reasonably well. You aren't even apologetic about it.
There is nothing for me to apologize for.
No, I have explained why 1) those statistics are unreliable, and 2) even if they were exactly right, that wouldn't prove it was a direct result of expanding AFDC to unwed mothers; there were other factors. And I have done so repeatedly, too.
Wrong. That's just what you always say when I do present facts (in this case, the fact that expanding AFDC to illegitimate children wasn't the only factor in the change in illegitimacy rates). No matter how well documented, you always just accuse your opponent of only calling you a racist. We do call you that because you are the very epitome of racist, but that's not all we say.
In your mind, no doubt!
I've never pretended anything. Youve claimed there is no significant difference in the last thirty years and yet have never provided data that proves that claim. I merely pointed out that you're making arguments with evidence that is outdated.
What matters is that black rates of illegitimacy and crime have gotten worse since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, and since the War on Poverty was declared the same year.
But that's not what you said. What you said was that they were the direct cause of illegitimacy rates going up. Which is nonsense.
Well, it does if you're a racist anyway.
I certainly think the increase in illegitimacy for blacks and whites is a serious problem, for reasons I have stated.
Deflection.
How can the increase in black social pathology be blamed on white racism, when blacks behaved better when they were discriminated against?
The short answer is, they didn't; and they still are discriminated against. As usual, you're just looking at cherry-picked statistics that you think support your argument.
