From the union movement of the mid 1930s to the recession of 1974 it became possible for men with double digit IQs to earn blue collar jobs with strong unions that provided decent wages and job benefits.
False, IQ has very little to nothing to do with your social status or your job performance, especially before the information age. The idea that it does is not supported by any evidence. In fact, things like temperament, personality, tenacity, family support and personal values have far more determining effect on one's life prospects than IQ test scores even today. There are plenty of really smart people who fail at life and plenty of average people who do just fine.
The main reason for the the increase in black social pathology was the de industrialization of the United States that began during the 1970s.
False, Blacks were never heavily represented in the industrial steel belt, but were located largely in the south working in agri based communities.
The decline in blue collar jobs with strong unions impacted whites and blacks, but it did more damage to blacks, because the average black IQ is 85, while the average white IQ is 100.
Total bullshit. First there was no decline in blue collar jobs between 1930 and 1980, but a steady increase, the decline in manufacturing jobs between 1964 and 1980 were more than compensated by blue collar jobs in other areas of the economy Secondly, IQ is NOT the determining factor in life success.
The de industrialization of the United States, and the decline in the union movement reduced the positive incentives for morally responsible behavior.
Who says. Evidence please. Oh, I know you made that shit up too. OK
The expansion of the welfare system that happened with the War on Poverty reduced the disincentives for morally irresponsible behavior.
Total bullshit. There are plenty of studies which show that welfare dependency had the unintended consequence of destroying the nuclear family structure. Once the family broke down a generational cycle of dependency on entitlements began which is very difficult to break.
If I were to guess, I say that you were a low IQ union member who lost his job because because of evil corporate greed for profits but still gets a handsome pension, plus you make a few bucks on the side getting bussed in to astro-turf for various liberal causes.
God Bless America, Land of entitlement and Home of the welfare dependent!
