Hello McFly calling on Mcfly! Which country should they all go back to or at all? You sound like a typical insensitive clueless white american when talking about the inequalities/history of racism in this country. Please do us all a favor and if you cannot contribute anything of substance to the conversation, please keep your telephone on mute and learn.

Mr. Petch, please feel free to join the rest of us into the 21st century. The hardest part of cotton picking is done by machines which may need training. Are you wiling to pay for their training?

What I said does not absolve blacks or anyone else from personal failures, I simply made a comparison between how blacks and Jews are portrayed in the media. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Besides, you do realize that there are other people also involved in this conversation.

in explanation of which YOU posted that moronic "media insulting blacks" reason.
I can't be so far off of the mark since there is not one day even on C-D that blacks are attacked as a whole by some ill-informed person such as yourself

There is no money in reminding everyone else, but the Elite that they are all debt slaves regardless of race or anything else. The memes of divisiveness lately have been sexual orientation and race. They are beating the drum regularly. They laugh all the way to the bank.
Really wouldn't waste much time on any of it.

The actual act ended years ago but you are still ignoring Jim Crow Laws, racial redlining, housing and employment discrimination, not to mention disparities in education that have continued well into this generation. Understand this, physical slavery was the worst part but subtle racism still exist

Who has ridden the racist politics for years now. For the sin of slavery, which ended over 140 years ago, long before the invention of the electric light, the automobile or even the basketball. Who has received trillions of dollars in the form of welfare checks, small business loans, affirmative action, Operation Headstart and food stamps.

Oh that is easy, whites have. You do realize that the welfare system was never designed for blacks in the first place. Blacks and the History of Welfare - University of Dayton
As for Affirmative Action, well white women have overwhelmingly benefitted from that program

In return, the community, has given back to America a record number of illegitimate children, violent crime totally disproportionate to their numbers, an academic dropout rate that guarantees the cycle of ignorance and violence will continue unabated, and a constant clamor for more and more in the way of city, state and federal handouts.

Really? Lets take a closer "look" at these statistics. First lets look at the illegitimate birth rate that some educationally lazy people are quoting which I believe is around 72%. Now according to the 2011 census blacks only make up only 13% of the population, so if you are talking about 72% of OOW births are from 13% of the population means that they are only counting FROM that 13% and not from the population as a whole. I will even make it easier to understand. If you have 10 people and 7 of them have OOW births that is 70% but it is in reality only seven people. this much different then if you said that 13% of the population of 100 were responsible for 70% OOW births in the country which is not true.

The violent criminal aspect is a joke because it only counts for those who are convicted and sentenced, which many of us know is an unbalanced legal system to begin with. I bet if you compared the educational and economic attainment of the convicted you will find even more disportionate numbers.

As far as your assertion that blacks have a abnormally high drop out rate, that assumption would vary from state to state and actually the Latinos in most times have a higher dropout rate (but of course you knew that). Truthfully I believe that goes hand in hand with the funding being cutoff by certain factions in Congress and the lack of meaningful employment future for our youth as a whole.

This brings us back to your "handout theory", apparently you do not realize that there are more whites on welfare (handouts) then there are blacks?

These people never picked a bushel of cotton or had a horse whip to their bare skin but some how feel entitled to reap from others who had nothing to do with slavery.Wow
...And those who never had to work a day in their lives are reaping the benefits from the huge economic headstart while another group was working for free.

BINGO! Blacks have, blacks are (and blacks WILL) pay dearly for their stupidity of continuing to use slavery as a reason to complain...and receive handouts. Everyone is sick and tired of that old crap.

I don't know any black people whining about not receiving enough handouts.

I am doing pretty well and I still feel this way. This tells me the system isn't very fair. I have had plenty if advantages that have enabled me to be successful. I have also met people with much more drive than I have and haven't able to get past their disadvantaged start in life. We claim trying hard is enough to get ahead, and that is a big fat myth.

You don't seem to be able to handle equal opportunity...and seek equal outcome.
