We need more women like Candace Owens to red pill other women and members of the black community out of this victimhood mentality rut

Libra Scales I agree with most of what you have said accept that underclass has to be permanent for anyone or more importantly that it has to be black. I also think capitalism is great because it is not racist classist or sexist. Anyone can make money as long as they have a service or goods that other people are willing to pay for. Anyway thanks very much for your detailed input

Libra Scales 8% of black voters voted For Trump and 88% voted for Clinton. That’s not generalisation. That is an undeniable fact. The democrats have created a welfare state that keeps poorer black communities and women continuously voting Democrats by buying their vote through welfare. It’s a lot easier to accept welfare and use the excuse that blacks and women are not getting ahead because of white privilege and the patriarchy then by breaking out of the victimhood mentality rut.. What Trump has done for the poorer black communities is to open up opportunities to get them them out of this rut. For instance choice of schools has enabled greater opportunity to get the best education for smart hard working black children by enabling their families to seek out better schools that are out of area. Clamp down on illegal immigration helps poorer black community’s get more job opportunities by stopping the loss of jobs to illegals Cooperate tax reform and deregulation has created jobs and lowered black unemployment to the lowest ever in recorded history. The black community and women are just as hard working as any other group but have been sold a dud by the democrats to keep them in their victim group. Candace Owens is saying that blacks and women are just as hard working and capable as any other group. But just need to take the opportunities Trump is providing them and shatter this victimhood rut that many are still in.

Libra Scales If you look at Asians as an example, obviously not white. But by far the most successful and wealthy group in the USA. Where is the white privilege holding them back. Victimhood is focussing on history that was bad for the black community and using it as a crutch.. again look at the Japanese who were virtually wiped out in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They could have got into a victimhood state but instead they have rebuilt and become a world powerhouse.

Libra Scales thanks for the detailed responses. I believe success comes from a state of mind and no matter what race you are or socioeconomic background or oppressed history you have the ones that succeed do have a belief in themselves, have great work ethic, push through barriers whether it be racism, sexism or whatever and more importantly they don’t act like victims If you look at sport and music. Black Americans dominate in these areas. There is no doubt that in the past there were racist barriers that prevented blacks from playing baseball and tennis and basketball, but through shear persistence and talent breakthroughs were made.I don’t think these early pioneers thought of themselves as victims , they just knew they were better and had to prove it and they did , paving the way for for other black Americans to follow suit. The same has to be done in other areas and I see Candace Owens as a strong black woman encouraging other blacks and women to not be held back by victimhood. Don’t use the history of oppression of your grandparents as a crutch to limit what you can achieve. In America every man or woman whether black white , yellow or whatever has equal opportunity to do whatever they want. The ones who fail have a victimhood mentality and no matter how much welfare or assistance you give them they will never succeed. I used the Japanese example to show that it was the strength of their culture that helped rise them to the top after a devastating history. They didn’t have a victimhood culture. The black community has also had a horrible history but many are still hanging onto past oppressions as a crutch that limits their ability to succeed. Candace Owens is trying to change the culture to one of “ yes, my grandparents were oppressed, but I sure as hell aren’t and I’ve got the exact same opportunity as anyone else in this great country”

With regards to Asians being the wealthiest group in 2016 median household income was $81000, whites $61000, Hispanic s $47000 and blacks $39000. There is no doubt that well educated Asian immigrants were sourced back in the 60s , however the point is that Asians also experienced racism as well but still managed to overcome it and achieve success.
