No,its just a serious problem in this country that I would like to see fixed.<Moderator cut: personal attack / race-baiting>.Kind of hard to say weather or more house on the rock type resorts when you have mass unemployment,poverty and imprisonment in your community.

Otherwise,you would have accepted that those are the three things that I would change about wisconsin and either not made a comment about it,or posted a meaningful response.

What's with the racist remark? Quite honestly the amount of progress this country has made in the last 40 years is something you should be proud of. True, there's a long way to go but to deny what's been done for the good is to be blind. The richest woman in America, by far if I'm not mistaken, is black, as is one of the leading presidential candidates. What about that?

We are all going to be cautious around people different than us, whether it be skin color or just personality traits. That is human nature. There's lots of white people I don't like. But labeling and complaining about other people keeps us from further progress. Racism is NOT a one-way street.

I dont call majority unemployment( and underemployment for the vast majority of the rest) for black men and 45% prison population 5-6% general society population for blacks ''progress''.

Sugar coating mass injustice keeps an oppressive system in place.

Institutional racism is a one-way street.White men=5% unemployment black men=over 50%.Whites are keeping us unemployed and underemployed through rampant discrimination in the labor market, overlooking the issue by pointing out a small amount of prosperous blacks,etc,all the while packing us into prisons.

Yes, I understand how this thread detour started, but could you start up a new thread please, or just go back to the Milwaukee forum. I thought this was three things you would change about Wisconsin.

It's turning into yet another ugly racist debate that will probably get the thread locked.

Thanks

lion, i hope you find something that will give you a different outlook towards further positive progress.

I'd like to add one more thing I would change ...

The snow that fell on my drive lastnight, which I just spent the last 30 plus minutes plowing! That stuff was heavy!
