Seriously think about it. No matter who you think runs the private prison system and the rap music industry which I have my guess.

It is worse because it does more damage to families, It encourages poor behavior, It is much more in the shadows so no one thinks about it.

I'm pretty sure no one has thought of this and shared it before me original idea ftw.

No matter what you do, you do it because you chose to.

You need to learn to think outside of the box, before you learn to think without a box.

plus it breaks up families which slavery did not really do and that is measurable bad for society.

You know recently I read a thread on the old /r/greatawakening that linked to a story where an anon studio exec said he and other "well known" execs had this big meeting to discuss rap. At the time, rap was not a thing. There were armed guys "guarding" the whole estate and the implication was there to cooperate. Anyways, they laid out this big plan to push rap as the new mainstream.

It went on to connect with prison system too.

Too bad GA is gone. Would have to Google fu it and just too busy. But it's out there somewhere.

My summary is pretty weak TBH, but your post reminded me of it.

Edit - found the article. Wasn't hard to find after all https://www.businessinsider.com/former-music-exec-describes-the-scary-meeting-that-resulted-in-todays-violent-rap-music-2012-5

I think it is an effective half measure short of deportation/genocide. They simply don't assimilate unless occupying the lowest rungs of society and then they still become disgruntled and demand more. What is your alternative?

The nuclear family was intact and they knew their place and so did whites. It's not going back to that anytime soon

So you admit its possible when the nuclear family is intact? Sounds like a good goal to shoot for to me.

There was a whole lot more to it than that. Relative income was far greater than it is today. Folks of the 50's enjoyed a higher standard of living, and that was generally with a single wage earner in the house. Now, it takes two wage earners to earn less income accounting for inflation. Nobody is home to raise the kids. This is the first time in decades that relative income has risen, and it's still nowhere near what it was in the 50's. Also, individual productivity is far greater than it was. A good part of the increased productivity is due to advancing technology, but part of it is also due to higher expectations, which creates higher stress, which further impacts families. In the 50's, the workday was 9-5, as lunch was paid. That went away in the late 70's/Early 80's with the decline of the unions. Add to that the fact that the population is close to double what it was back in the 50's. That increases competition for resources, which creates additional stress and lowers the overall standard of living.
