Who do you work for I wonder? Al Qaeda? Trying to totally sabotage our Democracy by dividing us? It won't work.
I know many people come to these forums from overseas...and the political forum is the most popular. Hmmm...
Deluxe post and i am tired of people asking educated folks like us to educate or desribe to them politics they either do not understand or just are to lazy to study themselves or could it be they are brainwashed?
Come on if you do not realize how corrupt this country is then you do need a education.

OP has good point. Rubbing your ******* on someone's face is not necessarily a violent act. It could be if it is unwanted.

And it comes from both sides. Who did it first or who did it last doesn't matter.

We need to stop hating ourselves or I think this will eventually get very ugly. Seriously - I hear people on here talk about libs or cons as if they were lower than Al Qaeda. What happened to the moderates on either side?
I have no political power. Therefore I can create no gridlock with my "cynicism"

Your posting is inflammatory and complete inane, and you've provided no proof for your claims. This is exactly what happens when people whip themselves into a political frenzy without thinking about the ridiculous conclusions they're coming to. I would love for you to try to demonstrate that you actually know what you'e talking about.

Well let's see. Democrats control the schools in places like Memphis, Detroit, and Washington. The students in those districts are black. The superintendents, principals, teachers and school boards are democrats.

What are the results? About a 50% dropout rate. And most of the kids that do graduate can't read. And then you have 70% of blacks being born to single moms.

And what do these democrats that run these places do? blame the republicans and white people for their incompetence.

These school districts get plenty of money so you can't say it's lack of funding. No reason to think blacks are dumber than whites so you can't say it's because of that.

That leaves one conclusion. Democrats that run these schools are not teaching these kids. If democrats cared one **** about blacks they would make them stay in school and learn to read. And tell them to stop having kids out of wedlock.

But instead they encourage this behavior and make excuses for it and blame the whites. In other words democrats are keeping blacks in perpetual poverty and they are doing on purpose. Every 4 years they whip everyone into a political frenzy about the evil republicans then turn around and oppress the blacks for another 4 years.

In other words democrats are racist.

You got any other explanation for poverty in black America?

So I have to disagree with your statement. I don't want "the black vote," I want my own vote regardless of what color it is.

If you vote for democrats then you can't say you care much about blacks. That's for sure.

You are part of the gridlock, despite your claims to the opposite. So am I.

How will we solve this?

Democrats control the schools in most large cities. Not all students in city schools are black. Your "conclusion" is erroneous.

The vast majority of the kids in Detroit, Memphis and DC are black. And 70% of all black kids in this country are born to single mothers.

My conclusion is factual. I wish it wasn't. But it is. Because of the racist policies of democrats.
