Today, most of the old plantations have been sold off. Where s***es once picked cotton, there are subdivisions and stadiums. The prejudice, however, remains.

"There are still a lot of people who think b****s are simply inferior to w****s," said Roger Ransom, an economic historian at the University of California, Riverside. "It is definitely there, and I don’t think it ever went away."

I had hoped that the r****m that prevailed throughout this country had faded but with the e******n of Barack Obama and then Donald Trump it's clear that the r****m that so defined this country is alive and well and lives in the Republican Party...

We show that contemporary differences in political attitudes across counties in the American South in part trace their origins to s***ery’s prevalence more than 150 years ago. W****s who currently live in Southern counties that had high shares of s***es in 1860 are more likely to identify as a Republican, oppose affirmative action, and express racial resentment and colder feelings toward b****s. These results cannot be explained by existing theories, including the theory of contemporary racial threat. To explain these results, we offer evidence for a new theory involving the historical persistence of political and racial attitudes. Following the Civil War, Southern w****s faced political and economic incentives to reinforce
existing r****t norms and institutions to maintain control over the newly free African-American population. This amplified local differences in racially conservative political attitudes, which in turn have been passed down locally across generations. Our results challenge the interpretation of a vast literature on racial
attitudes in the American South.

You are so right. I haven't a clue. I thought I had a clue. I've studied the USSR for 40 years and very intensely in the last few months, but obviously I cannot match your expertise on true Socialism. Of course I foolishly thought that since you called me out on my ignorance on the true nature of Socialism, you would attempt to inform me on the subject. I anticipated your explanation and prepared my mind to absorb your wisdom, but you have let me down.

Now I figure that since you are such an authority on Socialism and you wrote this " If you want to prove that Trump is not r****t or that he cares about minorities, show something that he has done DELIBERATELY to help them SPECIFICALLY. To claim that him helping them as an unintended consequence of helping others not related to them specifically is nothing more than disingenuous spin. " , that you seem to be as ignorant on the twin subjects of President Donald Full Time Jobs. Trump, and basic supply and demand Capitalism, as I am on Socialism that I might attempt to answer your question.

I believe that I am as informed about Trump, Capitalism, Economics, Tax Cuts and their effects on Economic Growth as you are on Socialism. President Donald Full Time Jobs. Trump SPECIFICALLY and DELIBERATELY cut taxes and cut Obama era red tape in order to give all Americans more opportunity to obtain full time employment. ALL AMERICANS INCLUDES minorities.

Me and my boy Trump do not play identity politics like you and your hero Obama did. We see all citizens as Americans, PERIOD.

No, all I have is your misnomer, "common sense." Perhaps you should consider a new handle, instead of employing the Marxist Method® favored by l*****ts, wherein they give something a benevolent name to conceal the fact that it's nothing anyone would really want, like the "Affordable" Care Act, which priced most of the middle class out of their ("you can keep your") health insurance.

May I suggest calling yourself either "Common Sense in Tatters" or "C****e Sense, Don't Really Matter, Anyway?"

Wow, so difficult to make you understand. There WAS NO ACT by Trump nor his administration that pertained specifically to minority unemployment so claiming that lowered minority unemployment proves Trump's concern or caring for minorities is nothing but spin. Benefiting a group of people as an unintended side effect of helping others or the greater good DOES NOT mean that you care for that group of people.

If group A is threatening group B and I h**e group A with a passion and harm to wh**ever extent the parties involved with group A, that does not mean I care anything about group B and it doesn't make me a hero due to my hatred of group A. Unintended consequences should not be used as proof of heroism, non-r****m or lack of bigotry.

If you want to prove that Trump is not r****t or that he cares about minorities, show something that he has done DELIBERATELY to help them SPECIFICALLY. To claim that him helping them as an unintended consequence of helping others not related to them specifically is nothing more than disingenuous spin.

I see where you're going with this...so, explain this, black unemployment lowest EVER, Hispanic unemployment lowest EVER, Asian unemployment lowest EVER, women's unemployment lowest EVER. White boys unemployment lowest in 40 years.
Everyone has benefited from Trump's policies, not just a single group and not from a single piece of legislation. Black unemployment was a consequence of policies not a goal. The goal was "make America great again" not just a certain group. Your point is moot.

No, since some morons claimed that Trump was doing great things for Minorities, they weren't making the claim that he was doing it for just anyone, the specific claim they made was for minorities, that is what makes my point significant. Of course I can expect such arguments from those with no real points to make. Not one of Trump's policies really did anything to help anyone really. About the only thing "he" did to help anyone (it was congress that actually did it, Trump merely signed off on it afterwards) was the tax bill which mostly helped those that already have plenty. The working class, Some of them are paying lower taxes, some are paying about the same they were before, some are actually paying more.

Since you refuse to acknowledge facts, you will never learn anything that isn't fed to you from your f**e news sources so obviously, you can never understand what is really going on in the real world. Enjoy your alternate reality.
