THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

way to answer the question.

At least Cars, Sally and Mark can answer it.

I think it is definitely learned.

Here's another question to ponder: is welfare racist?

I don't mean racist against whites, I'm asking what the net effect of welfare has been on the lower income family structure. Has it helped, or did it increase dysfunctionality and lead to the drug/gang violence that is epidemic in poor communities?

Initially, welfare was a good idea to help low income families to help make ends meet. Back then, people had pride, and wanted to stand on their own two feet, so they got off welfare as soon as they were able to.
However, over the years, it seems that people who were raised on welfare,
grew up seeing that people didn't have to go to work at low paying jobs, and could just receive welfare instead. So yes, those raised on welfare, stayed on welfare, and in those cases with plenty of idle time on their hands, it could/did lead to drug/gang violence.
IMO.

The driving impetus behind the creation of the welfare society was blacks gaining the right to vote, not egalitarianism. It can clearly be seen by how welfare was designed and implemented that it's purpose was to control and promote state dependency, not lift people out of poverty. The Democrats were the party that had supported slavery, not the Republicans. Johnson was as racist as they came in Texas, and was no friend of MLK. Welfare was the new plantation, where blacks would be left to wither and die culturally, trapped in intergenerational poverty because welfare did nothing to promote entrepreneurialism, which is absolutely essential to attaining economic independence. Instead, it promoted single-parent families, which has had devastating consequences with respect to literacy and access to socio-economic opportunities, and incarceration, and it helped to kill off the civil rights movement, which fell into corruption just like the unions did.

If you watch this video on John Calhoun's mouse experiments, you'll see that there's a striking degree of correlation with how welfare was set up, and it's consequences, which he referred to as a behavioral sink. I would argue that this constitutes systemic racism, perpetrated by the very people who have now positioned themselves as their saviors, which is both sad and disgusting, IMO.
