An article in today's WSJ got me to subscribe! - "The Destructive Legacy of the Great Society" by Jason Riley
http://www.wsj.com/articles/en....titlements-welfare-p

For those who can't get past the WSJ firewall, a few data points:

"Between 1940 and 1960 the % of black families living in poverty declined by 40% as blacks increased their years of education and migrated from poorer rural areas to more prosperous urban environs... No welfare program has come close to replicating that rate of black advancement..."

"Antisocial behavior is closely associated with family breakdown... black male homicides FELL in the 1940s by 18% and in the 1950s by 22%... this trend would reverse itself in the 1960s and continue to worsen for decades.."

"Crime, single parenting and drug abuse also increased among poor whites in the aftermath of the Great Society. When the gov't indulges and subsidizes counterproductive behavior, we tend to get more of it."

Government subsidies for antisocial behavior stalled decades worth of black progress.

I wholeheartedly agree with a post by Judd Garrett on Objectivity is the Objective entitled, "Anticom," which can be found here: https://www.objectivityistheob....jective.com/post/ant There is nothing "right wing" about Nazism or fascism. This repeated lie is infuriating.

Who are attacking Asians? (Interesting data on attacks on Asians and others.)

The most recent data I could find form the Bureau of Justice Statistics was a National Crime Victimization Survey done in 2018. The results are illustrated here - https://tinyurl.com/5yja8f2a. (The US population numbers are from Statista and the political party data are estimates compiled from several online sources and are believed to be approximately correct.)

In 2018, over 60% of the attacks on Asians were by blacks or by other Asians, in spite of the fact that these two groups comprised only 20% of the total population. Since both of these groups are heavily Democrat, it appears that the persons committing these attacks on Asians are more likely to have been Democrats than they are to have been Republicans.

As of 2018, whites were 50% more likely to have been attacked than were Asians. Wonder if this slope has radically changed in the past two to three years?
