Hyper Individualism vs Collectivism

Ah yes…the inevitable anecdote.

There are many other as well…next step, is to do the math.

States united.

How many progs here congratulated or spoke well of Winsome Sears?

Their leaders called her a white supremacist.

Diversity my ass.

Control for cognitive ability and get you some truth.

If your story is true, why are black females disproportionately represented in advanced degrees? One example.

That may decide how wealthy they are but it doesn’t determine “success”. Success is what you as an individual make of it. That’s why I’ve repeatedly said to you, take your own personal assets and apply them to the causes you believe in. That’s success. Now…are you successful?

It is interesting how there is not much movement, up or down, between the three broad classes of rich, middle class, and poor.

I don’t know about that. There is a certain someone who lives in 92054 who is more successful than someone who lives in 07801. I can vouch for it.

Have they ever congratulated a successful African American that didn’t spout their racist crap? Never have, never will. It’s the narrative that matters not the reality.

If you Libs would stop “helping” African Americans, you’d be surprised how fast they’d move up.

Collectives are always have centralized authority and submission to that authority under penalty of law. Our founding documents were written expressly to limit centralized authority, protecting the individuals right to life, to liberty from the fiats of others and the right to self determination of what made them happy and to what extent they would pursue that happiness.

And collectivists always have a problem telling the difference between cause and coincidence.

But the reality is that success got them into that ZIP code, the zip code didn’t make them successful. Cause vs Coincidence.

Ah yes… the inevitable ignoring of evidence. I have to admit though this is the first time I’ve heard the word “anecdote” used to describe successful African Americans. I thought you guys preferred terms like “Uncle Tom”. Was Barack Obama an “ anecdote” too? What’s the difference between Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and say…… Clarence Thomas or Ben Carson??

Come on now, put your panties on and provide an answer.

I know math is not a Lib strongpoint, stick to facts.

His wealth, which allows him to live in that zip code, will provide his children options, but no guarantees. And even with the advantages of dad having wealth, those kids will still have to make it on their own merits some day. Millionaires still tend to have an extended family of poor relatives.

And apparently even the best private/public schools are infected with CRT and declining standards. I guess zip codes aren’t what they used to be.

Assertion without evidence.

Where do you get this from? When you can discuss fractional calculus then we can talk.

Right. Because the absence of decreasing numbers of minorities living in poverty and African Americans killing each other in Democrat controlled big city ghettos during the near 60 years since Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty should in no way, shape or form be used as evidence of the failure of Democrat policies. :roll_eyes:
