Boogie boogie....


61 percent of welfare recipients are White, while 33 percent are Black, according to xxxx xxxxx xxxx statistics


*scratches nose*


Come on boyo, what's in the Xs, and who is the source?


Could it be?

Yes it could

Something's happening, something good...

Something toni....

Come on teddy bear, I'm just trying to find out if you care?


What's your position?


You make a lot of claims about black people milking the welfare state, so I assume you believe them.


So I'm wondering whether if I can prove that it's a bunch of old charlie you're going to change your mind?


I don't think so, I just think you listen to emotionally charged hate stuff. You don't care about truth, you care about skin colour.


I'm playing a little game with you regarding several sources, whether it's US Census, the Department of Agriculture or whoever. Most of whom developed their figures under a republican government. No census since Bush ;-)


I don't think you care, I think you've established a teeny weeny position where you've started to judge people by the colour of their skin.


Whilst I think that makes you a sad small little person, I don't want other people to listen to your nonsense and think it's true.


That's why I'm crapping on.

Doesn't it even out though? Given that hispanics, africans etc and other non-caucasian descendants make up around 12% of the US population it would be correct to assume that blacks and whites are no more likely to be receiving welfare than each other. If anything, socio-economic background, and location/ circustance is likely to have a far greater bearing on unemployment. It just so happens that many migrants find themsleves at the bottom of the ladder, and it makes sense to me for any government to give opportunity to those willing to take it, to work.
I don't really understand why anyone would be interested in racial distribution of welfare payments. But statements like "recipients are 37.2 percent Black and 46.2 percent White" are quite meaningless when not accompanied by the ethnic breakdown of the population.

...And of 6.82% of all statistics, whilst made up on the spot, are not made up by moronic trolls - meaning approx. 12% of made-up-on-the-spot statistics are moron-free and therefore can be taken at face value.


This is assuming the initial statistic wasn't made up.

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
