Race is a social construct. You really don't have to "play it" if you don't want to.
Nobody is playing it. We just need to rebuild what we are. People act like we have never been aware of our issues. We are not ignoring it as hard as that is to believe.
All that does is spread more crime. Instead of forcing integration, we should make it mandatory that all blacks females get the birth control shot or implant. Also, give out free condoms in schools and local stores. If a black female doesn't come in for her scheduled birth control shot or implant, the first time she should be given community service. If she does it more than 3 times then her tubes should be tied.
DUDE!(?) You talk about black females as if they are pets to be trained.
The welfare system is entirely to blame. It rewards unmarried females for having as many babies as they can, as quickly as they can. Removing the rewards for bad behavior, and implementing awareness and prep programs is better than any BC.

That is exactly right! When people don't like the solutions, they tend to make such claims. It isn't us, the ones who care enough to put forward workable solutions, who are the ignorant ones.
To say "let us work it out for ourselves" is a segregationist attitude. That is the polar opposite of a solution. ALL members of society have to be inclusive of each other, and work together for a mutual solution to our problems.
More time? There are Black elders who are still alive who were beat and hosed for wanting to be treated as equals.
In those 50 years we have seen 35,000 Blacks become millionaires, Oprah is a mogul, Bob Johnson sold a TV station for Billions, Athletes are owning and coaching professional teams...
We have doctors, lawyers, judges, CEO's, etc....
All my siblings own their homes, all their children are college educated.
The problem is CD focuses on the 1% of blacks who are struggling and poor while ignoring all the success stories.
White about poor whites and their culture, why haven't they helped themselves?
Right, maybe the discussion should be about solutions for poverty and inequality of opportunity regardless of race.
I'm crazy? What about the person that wants to force integration? That person wants to make it a crime not to integrate.
If I'm crazy then their crazy too.
I know the government will never force birth control. The best thing we can hope for is free birth control and educational programs in our schools that teaches kids to use protection and birth control. That we teach black kids about the cycle of poverty and how to get out of it.
Exactly. That's why I said let us Black Americans worry about fixing Black America. Not interested in any inputs from anyone else on bringing solutions on what we need fixing when we know the problems and are working to fix it ourselves anyway.
Of course there are more whites on drugs and welfare, because there are millions of more whites. It is not about the total amount it is about the higher percentages.

Why is it about percentages? Surely if you want to tackle a problem you zero in on the largest component---in this case white people (if what you claim is the case.)

It is a matter of priorities we should focus on the ones who need the most help first.
