How many white supremacist friends do you have. I'm curious because you seem to be familiar with their TV viewing habits.

So apparently you don't think that out of wedlock birthrates are one of the black communities problems. Because that is one thing you are not "climbing out" of.

A gay man comments on family issues? Maybe not the best choice.

Correct, however the % of Blacks on welfare compared to the % of Whites is dramatically higher.

I'm curious because you're speaking about "The general black community" but I seriously doubt you're involved or informed about the subject you feel so strongly about... Yes they're problems but can someone who is an outsider without firsthand knowledge diagnose what's wrong? It's hard at best and impossible at worst alphamale!
Ted Williams was arguably the best hitter baseball ever produced. I would say he was the best.

He totally sucked at being a baseball manager/hitting coach...


being an "insider" is no indication that an individual has the ability to "diagnose" and provide solid solutions.

The most successful BIG businesses often bring in "OUTSIDERS" to look at thier business model to show them what they arent seeing due to being TOO CLOSE to the system.

Your solution is the exact opposite (only listening to insiders) to what every single successful business will tell you works.

That is not a rejection of the "insiders". Those very same businesses that bring in outsiders, take the recomendations then the insiders implement the solutions.

I agree with you that White Folk cant fix what is wrong. But I disagree with you that those "outsiders" cannot shed light on what the problems are.

I think he asked if you had any black FRIENDS.

which does not change the fact that there are more whites on the program than blacks, yet if you read this forum or any other on this site, you would think 99% of those on the programs were black.

I have read your post, you are a right winger. Not calling yourself a Republican doesnt change your ideology, just your affiliation.
