Liberals: "We need to end racism and oppression of minorities"

*pushes laws designed to keep minorities poor, meaning they can only afford to live in segregated minority areas*

*supports abortion, which disproportionately kills minority children*

*liberal states allow building the detention camps OP speaks of (see: CA; if it was a Republican issue why aren't the camps in Texas or Arizona?)*

*racial slurs as soon as a minority disagrees with them*

Let's not pretend either side has the moral high ground here. (And I would wager that the only reason other positions aren't obviously just as bad is that they've never had enough power to show it.)

Killing "children" is fine. It makes no sense to bring children into a shitty world. Life without *life* is stupid. Please figure this out. No one wants to vegetate so rich people can reach a 5,000-hooker goal.

Im guessing hell say stuff like food stamps/welfare which encourages people to be poor, or minimum wage laws that prevent businesses from creating more jobs. The usual rightwing/libertarian bulls**** bootstraps and whatnot

raising wages can have a bad effect on the overall cost of living. shit goes up.
there's never a way they can balance with having more money and less of an increase.

Not to mention that inflation is due to monetary policy, not fiscal policy (which is what minimum wage increases are)

Alright, maybe it's both then. But they're definitely building them in CA - with the state's approval - too.

Affirmative action, designed to push them into roles they don't have the experience for, so that they seem like they're bad at their jobs / bad work ethic overall (when really it's just that they didn't get that experience they need for the job, and would probably do a perfectly good job if they did have it), and thus rule out any chance of them moving to an even better position. Not to mention that the existance of it directly feeds the stereotype of "they can't get a job the normal way" (which is not true at all, plenty do so - and actually do make their way up to higher positions - if they avoid the AA jobs and go the normal route).

Welfare programs that allow simply relying on welfare one's whole life, rather than as last-resort support until they can get back on their feet, accompanied with a focus on training or jobseeking.

Scholarships and quotas that have "being a minority race" as the only criteria - and almost inevitably funnel minorities into degrees with no real-world value that won't help them actually get a job, but do wonders for preventing them getting an actual useful degree that would help them succeed.

Sanctuary cities and other such arrangements that allow for illegal immigrants to stay without ever gaining citizenship, thus ensuring they can't enforce their legal rights to proper wages and such, keeping them in poverty.

And before you argue that I'm wrong, go look up the comparison of how minorities generally fare in places that do have these such policies, vs how they generally fare in places that don't. HINT: They're much better off in the latter.

(Minimum wage - or rather, excessive minimum wage - is a problem too, but it's pretty hard to argue that that one exclusively or primarily affects minorities. That one screws people of all races.)

Bill Clinton gutted welfare; you can't get it for more than 5 years.

Sounds like a bunch of lame excuses and instead of taking the blame which solely would be on them, they put it completely on someone else.

Kinda sounds like a liberal.

3 months for food stamps (if not working)
based on income if working (work requirements are nulled if senior or unable to work).

they didn't want people trying to freeload the system.

Sure, people should be taking responsibility for themself instead of falling for such things. But with the amount of effort they put into brainwashing people into thinking all that stuff is for their benefit, you can't really blame people for falling for it. It's not like they simply make those things exist; there's very strong, active, encouragement to make use of those things too. If it weren't for that, your argument that it's a matter of personal responsibility might indeed hold some water.

there's going to be riots and casulty's. the police will quell the violence but it will never be silenced until the wrong is fixed.
during the superbowl loss last year they destroyed a hair salon and a BBQ restaurant.
