New Democrat Mayor Talks Crime & Poverty (Marion, Portland: live in, oil)

[Indianapolis Data]

1/3 of Indy children live in poverty and I'm really supposed to believe a Dem is going to fix this? Detroit, Chicago, Seattle (horror!), Baltimore, Portland -- Dems increased black poverty in these cities! The current presidency has put black america in a state of emergency as our socioeconomic status is plunging; unbelievable and unforgivable Barack.

SAVI tells us African American families with children are more likely to be headed by single moms than other families -- 60% of black families with kids in Marion County were headed by single moms compared to 29% of white families. Double the Dumb. Following the trend in the state and nation, single mom families with children in Marion County have a much higher poverty rate (45%) than married couple families with children (11%). I'll present the relation between crime and single-motherhood in another thread -- y'all ain't ready.

Does Mayor Joe Hogsett have the balls to call this negress out for her destructive behavior?

I don't think its strictly Democrat or strictly Republican leadership that has harmed African Americans. The Democrats ushered in social programs that allowed black women to rely on daddy government. Republicans brought in crack and locked up millions of black men with unnecessary prison sentences. Black women keep having children by no good men while pushing the good studious black men to the side. Reagan was a devil, but so was Clinton. Many aspects of popular black culture are also the devil. Our family unit was much stronger before the 1970s. Millions of people don't just wake up one day and say they want to have harder lives, there's deeper issues from all three sides.

Now, with you using the word "negress" I'm able to deduce many things about you, just as you are doing. You're a white male, aged 40-69, you listen to Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, and O'Reilly religiously, you think Bengazi is a bigger deal than it is, ISIS/Iran is a direct threat to your family and you most likely live in Hamilton County. That's not a knock against you, those aren't bad things but I bet I have most of them right? There's really no point in me assuming all of this but its just something I've noticed in my short life.

Do you have the balls to call out the United States for its destructive behavior? Have you ever? I bet you support the war efforts. Maybe you don't, but have you had the balls to call out the establishment with that? I don't support the mission but I support the troops. Do you? Are you okay with the numerous poor young white males sent to do the bidding of plutocrats and oil tycoons? Are you okay that they come back with PTSD and kill themselves every day? You support Vietnam? Oliver North? Reagan? J. Edgar Hoover? Bush I and Bush II? Mike Pence?

Look, I'm not saying I have the answers, but do you? What are you really trying to accomplish with this thread? What are you angry about? If you got your way 100% with elected officials would it honestly have a significant impact on your life?
