Larry Elder is a lawyer. He researches his opposition. He knew that ahead of time The Breakfast Club wouldn't counter effectively. They aren't steeped in this stuff. Bless 'em for countering best they can but they aren't built for this type of discussion. There are interviews where Larry was flustered. Such as his interview with Piers Morgan about a witness in the Trayvon Martin murder (youtube it). Do this same interview with Jason Black and take your pick: Dr. Claud Anderson, even Dr. Omar. and its a completely different outcome.
a snippet of counters....
Larry also talks over you when you are making valid points.
2 parent homes .
A. White policies took the black father out of the home. Larry just glances over that .B. 1950 roughly 80 percent of Black kids were in a 2 parent home. Did it stop blacks from systemic racism? Did it stop us getting lynched? Why did we need a Civil RIghts movement if 80 percent of black families had 2 parent homes?
So, as he said, white policies took us out of the home. Irish families, due to poverty in the 1800s had low 2 parent home as well. White people made the Irish 'white' and they got union jobs, mayorships, etc
Systemic racism
Mass incarceration
It shot up in the 70s on the war on drugs and also a way for white America to blunt post Civil Rights rise of Blacks.
Education, Housing, Loans, etc. Larry is simply lying.
Black mayors:
Symbolic. Black mayors.
All big urban cities have a white downtown business district. They run the mayor, not the people. And when we get a black mayor that did they are targeted New Orleans, DC, Marion Barry.
Lyndon Johnson didn't have the best intentions. There was a report called the Moynihan report about poverty, black poverty specifically and the report said to fix the problem Black men needed to work. The government went completely the other way and took the Black family out of the home and a white Republican president increased it. Nixon was President from '68-74 and white Republican president Ford from '74 to '76.
Tulsa was never the same. You rebuild homes but the businesses never came back to the same. I have an uncle from Tulsa, born in the '30s, his parents I believe survived it.
Chinese. The Chinese were a. allowed to have businesses in white areas. Blacks weren't. Chinatowns were not targeted to be eliminated as black wall streets are.
Larry has been using the 'head of Urban League' said for ages. He was talking about one guy, about 30 years ago. It's quasi boule` organization.
Every single major bank has been sued successfully for loan discrimination.
He mentioned Citibank
