Highest Employment Numbers on record for Blacks just doesn’t help at all because it’s not Equality of Outcome. Whine, whine,whine
You're implying that opportunities are equal, correct? If so, that is your first mistake.

Top reasons:

Fatherlessness

Drug abuse

Felony convictions

Poor academic performance

Not making the list:

White people
Your top reason results in all the other things you posted.

Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and again.

Indeed I wasn't. Some of the same issues that face poor black kids in the inner city face poor white kids in the trailer park. And the results are not all that different.

You actually think this. Wow.

This forum is insane.

Yeah, well maybe whites should be more confident about their own prospects and quit making ridiculous determinations about ours.

After all, they don’t seem to care that blacks think whites in general are getting over like fat rats, do they?

Or maybe whites should just ask us if things are getting better if they’re so curious about it. And we all know the truth: they aren’t THAT curious.

If you don't want to hear opinions that disagree with yours, don't start threads about blacks being helpless victims.

Escaping poverty is incredibly difficult. We have decades of data to show this. White or black.

We vastly overestimate how easy it is to just "pull yourself up". And overestimate how often it happens (it is the exception).

This isn't an excuse. This is just reality.

So, are you saying that things are not getting any better for black Americans? Things are the same today as they were 25 years ago, 50 years ago or 100 years ago?

I find that hard to believe.

So any mention of a perceived inequity is tantamount to pleading helpless victimhood in your eyes? That's sad.

I do believe that blacks are profiled to a great extent. However, the reason is that blacks make up for a disproportionate amount of crime.


When one is fishing for trout, you do so in a cold, well oxygenated stream, not on an interstate highway. In the 1930s, blacks contributed a disproportionately low amount of crimes in the US. Today, blacks contribute a remarkably high number of crimes relative to their population, thus the "attention" they get from the police.


So yes...................... this is vacating responsibility. If you don't want to get arrested or gain the attention of the police, stop committing crimes. The honest, law abiding blacks, unfortunately, ARE victims of racial profiling due to the activity of others.
