That's already been answered in this thread:

It's just as Malcolm X called it in 1963 (quoted verbatim, so if any of the jargon/lexicon offends, take it up with el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz):

The greedy politicians who run this government give lip-service to the civil rights struggle only to further their own selfish interests. And their main interest as politicians is to stay in power.

In this deceitful American game of power politics, the Negroes (i.e., the race problem, the integration and civil rights issues) are nothing but tools, used by one group of whites called Liberals against another group of whites called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among whites here in America, the political teams are no longer divided into Democrats and Republicans. The whites who are now struggling for control of the American political throne are divided into "liberal" and "conservative" camps. The white liberals from both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal, and white conservatives from both parties do likewise.

The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.

Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These "leaders" sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These "leaders" are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders.

....

Let us examine briefly some of the tricky strategy used by white liberals to harness and exploit the political energies of the Negro. The crooked politicians in Washington, D.C., purposely make a big noise over the proposed civil rights legislation. By blowing up the civil rights issue they skillfully add false importance to the Negro civil rights "leaders." Once the image of these Negro civil rights "leaders" has been blown up way beyond its proper proportion, these same Negro civil rights "leaders" are then used by white liberals to influence and control the Negro voters, all for the benefit of the white politicians who pose as liberals, who pose as friends of the Negro.

The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.

The job of the Negro civil rights leader is to make the Negro forget that the wolf and the fox both belong to the (same) family. Both are canines; and no matter which one of them the Negro places his trust in, he never ends up in the White House, but always in the dog house.

The white liberals control the Negro and the Negro vote by controlling the Negro civil rights leaders. As long as they control the Negro civil rights leaders, they can also control and contain the Negro's struggle

The areas with the most violent crime and murder, have a common denominator.
High populations of Black Single Mothers

I keep abreast of the news and have not seen anything that Democrats want to put boys in girls locker rooms. Methinks you are speaking of the transgender issue and that is not the same thing as the bold and it is also not something that a huge amount of Democrats are "fighting tooth and nail" to do.
Then, you are very unaware. This is the ultimate goal in the pursuit of equality.

If you don't think this is the policy being pursued, you are very unaware of reality.

Success meaning that the children, the product of intercourse, were well taken care of and had both male and female role models.
I know you already know this but everything in society is a social construct. Religion is a social construct, Government is a social construct, Schools are a social construct. What isn't a social construct? Not much. Conventional marriage as practiced in almost every major religion in the world, and many non religious societies is fairly well established, and creates stability and consistency. Guess conventional marriage in the US is just made for White, Hispanics and Asian, and others that consider a societal norm?

I'll take marriage as it exists in US and many other societies today over whatever tribal system in other areas of the globe. The alternative is social anarchy: A Village can raise a child, and Aunt, an Uncle, a Boyfriend, a Girlfriend, a Stranger

Actually, it was happening before Trump rescinded it.

Schools HAD to let anatomical males use the girls' multiple occupancy restroom/locker/shower rooms if they wanted to. All they had to do was just "say" they were transgender. No proof whatsoever required. They could even change their gender "identity" from one day to the next as LGBTs claim gender is "fluid," not static. That's why so many people objected to it.
Quote:
"Under Title IX, there is no medical diagnosis or treatment requirement that students must meet as a prerequisite to being treated consistent with their gender identity.

...Under Title IX, a school must treat students consistent with their gender identity even if their education records or identification documents indicate a different sex."

...Restrooms and Locker Rooms... A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so."
https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/li...ransgender.pdf

Of course, Title IX does not say that. It doesn't address "gender identity" at all. But schools were threatened with the loss of federal funding if they didn't comply.

Title IX:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/20/1681

I know for a fact this has presented problems in at least two schools districts of which I'm aware. One in IL and one in MO. In both cases, anatomical males insisted on using girls' multiple occupancy school locker/shower rooms, instead of using the private facilities (usually reserved for staff) made available to them.

How do so many people have NO idea this was happening?

Notice a pretty HUGE difference, there?

Facts aren't "bashing." By not acknowledging and addressing the facts, you're exacerbating the problem. Just like a good little Dem; doing what you're told... Keeping poor people poor and therefore voting Dem, so Dems can keep some semblance of political power.

How can anyone be such a race traitor? Serious question.

And this what those rates probably looked like in 1950

The single mother birth rates, by race:

Blacks: 22.2%
American Indians/Alaska Natives: 16.9%
Hispanics: 10.5%
Whites (non-Hispanic): 4.4%
Asians/Pacific Islanders: 3.1%
(Source: CDC)

Its obvious that whatever was going on in 1950 and before, which created the initial gaps, is why the rate is much higher for blacks than whites. Since 1950 what is obvious that the decline of the American family is true OF ALL RACIAL GROUPS!! The increase the rate for blacks since the 50's has less to do with racism than it has to do with the changing family structure in America. The gap between black and whites, however, IS the product/legacy of racial oppression.

"Probably?" Do you have a source? Or are you just guessing?

In your previous statements you said it just wasn't the social norm in societies that many black people came from? Now you say it's racial oppression?

Some where along the way, we must look at our principled selves, beyond that of society and/or government. A couple entering into a traditional family (till death we part) will keep that family together and face the odds, together. It will go beyond the 'influence' of others and into what they believe for themselves to be true.

A promise is a word that isn't meant to be broken ... it is not a word that is subject to manipulation by any other force.
