Very eloquently put my friend.

Firstly, please remember that roughly half of all roughly 2.4 million prisoners in the US are serving time for non-violent offenses. 22% (528k) of the prison population are serving time for drug related offenses, at an annual cost of 11.6 billion dollars. I am not here to defend criminals, but it would seem that certain segments within the corrections industry are benefiting over jailing non-violent drug users. Since 1993, violent crime has dropped by nearly half yet the prison population has kept rising; why is that? Again I am not here to defend criminals, but there is more to the statistics than what meets the eye....

Secondly, you're going under the assumption that every black person has a chip on their shoulder which is distasteful and ignorant. Am I naive or trying to paint a fairy-tale picture? Absolutely not. But the same person who b****es and whines about welfare, section 8, and food stamps forgets that though blacks (as a %) are over-represented in the lower class, there are just as many lower class whites (ex. trailer trash) who use these programs. Socialism is cool as long as you're of the right colour and political affiliation though right?

Yes and these kids need an example of a working parent. If they can't see a dad or two parents get up every morning to go to work, then the mothers need to work to set the example that we work for what we want.

Welfare just makes it too easy to decide to lay around and never do anything. The system pays these women to breed and encourages this kind of thing.

Sure, the last statement was thrown in for sarcasm. But do you have numbers that prove different. This is a serious issue within the black community that needs to be dealt with if they plan to move on and succeed. Are you denying the bad influence that is depriving blacks the ability to move forward?

Where did I give you that impression (bold print)? These are just cold hard facts. I have not "forgotten" anything. There are whites that use these programs, sure. I never said they did not. The same ammount, though, is not true. Show me some numbers to prove otherwise. And who is talking about socialism? Last I checked we lived in a capitalistic society.

Why don't you say what is really on your mind?
