The illegals given status by Obama are virtually all working now. You might claim wages will go down as a result...but they may move up as the illegals turn to legal jobs....

the argument is give everybody a job that has a felony and the prisons will empty be.

the basic argument is that crime is caused by poverty poverty is caused by lack of a job
and that behavior and disposition towards violence is a non issue.
the argument denies that cultural factors contribute to why one people are 6 times more violent that any other.
that ignores all the work done by margaret mead on cultural factors and values as to behavior. bearing in mind she was looking at dirt poor black cultures where work is not a high priority yet violence is very low.
i dont thik poverty makes u violent i dont think anything makes u violent. i think envy makes you want to be violent.

High unemployment among blacks is a problem, but it's deeper than that. The root cause of the failure of the black community is the failure of the black family. There, I said it. Do some honest research on Google sometime. It is the elephant in the room that no one seems comfortable to discuss, but it must be discussed and addressed.

When we can have a conversation on that problem, and blacks are open to fixing their own failures in-house instead of playing the victim card, then we'll get somewhere. Until then, no. We will continue to see more Fergusons, more racial unrest, and more division.

You call these kids thugs...why. I don't blame them or their parents. They have no jobs because there are no opportunities in their area. They are poor and looking for a way out yet we do nothing to help them. We are all to blame.

The white race don't care about white trash, so why should the black race care about black trash?

Men who cannot earn enough to adequately support a family do not get married, or if they do get married they don't stay married. So the failure of the black family (or the poor family) is largely economic in origin.

But the difference is if a black man walks into a room full of white people and says, "poor white trash is hurting our country" the whites may be a bit defensive about the direct nature of the statement but they'd tend to agree and a discussion would ensue.

If a white man walks into a room of full of black people and says, "poor black trash is hurting our country" the white man would leave on a stretcher.

That's the difference.
