Nobody wants stats from 1990. We need current. Some cities may have shown a decline but most big cities increases,Chicago,Detroit are the worst due to horrible poverty and city just trashed due to the automotive industry moving out and not replaced by jobs being created.Its a shame what's happened to these cities and to the many good folks still living there. By the way folks your news media are not your friends and do what they can to keep the pot boiling . They don't let facts get in the way. With this logic they have it guarantees them their jobs.

If you want to argue that a party has failed the black community based on your flawed logic, then it would be republicans, not Democrats.

Republicans have also had majority control of congress for 14 of the last 20 years.

You cant blame Democrats for the state of black America.
no one, but no one has failed the black community but themselves....how can others be responsible for the failure of someone else.
it isn't anyone's else's fault if I go out and get in an accident.
It isn't anyone else's fault, if I don't seek a job and pull myself up and out of the gutter
it isn't anyone else's fault, that I was poor
it isn't anyone else's fault, but my own, if I didn't seek out the proper schooling and education to obtain a better position....

yanno, people have grown very very lazy and I'm not just talking about the black community....they expect to be given everything...and they actually sit and wait to be given things....
Parents today, do not make their kids go out and get work....there is no reason why some kid should sit at home and do nothing for the summer....?
That is so wrong and teaching a kid that they don't have to work for what they want.

The more you give to a person, the less enthusiasum they have to work for anything they want.
what ever happened to the saying, If you want something bad enough, you'll work for it?

You can't blame any political party for the state any race is in....blame yourself, if you want to play that game...and the blame game stagnates growth....you want a better life, go out there and get it, and you'll do anything you can, within legal rights to grow, to educate yourself, to become more then what you are.

This isn't about race, this is in fact about being lazy and expecting to be given everything for nothing....

Sometimes, truth sounds lame to some.

This rap is pretty tame compared to what others are saying.

Don't, his value system is the exact opposite of yours and you could never live up to them anyway.

I guess yo don't recall the "beer summit" or conveniently forgot it.

Or Holder REFUSING to prosecute the black Panthers.

The list IS long on their involvements.
