I asked you specifically what you're advocating for and how to get there.


"Blacks returning to their greatness" is not at all specific. You realize that, I assume?
In other words, "majority ruled" and that's how it should be.

That helps lift everyone of all races out of poverty.

An Educated Black has a lot of opportunities in the US that's not open to me as a White man. They are given priority in many hiring situations.
Your statement is str8 BS....period. Its well known that even less educated white men are more likely to have more opportunities than an educated black man in the US. Even prior to the Civil Rights Act. Please, if you are going to engage in dialogue then let it be factual......

Oppression doesn’t make a black man shoot and kill another black man, that’s the result of a single parent household with no father subsidized by the US government.

Poor people aren’t stupid, they like money. So when you financially incentivize poor people to have kids as a single parent, that’s exactly what they’re going to do.

The American economists Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell argue that the significant expansion of federal welfare under the Great Society programs beginning in the 1960s contributed to the destruction of African American families. Sowell has argued that "the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life."

Until Democrats solve the black family nucleaus aka stop paying people to have kids out of wedlock, they can forget about solving anything else with people of color. It’s a hopeless cause.

Calling people racist and bigots...

And then folks wonder why America will never have a true talk about race in this country.

Huh? I'm not sure why you're quoting me - I'm not calling any specific people racist or bigoted.


Now, if you're trying to assert there are no racist or bigoted people in our society, or on this forum, that's gonna be a pretty long row to hoe....

If a mind is biased and or "slow", there is not much I can do to create an epiphany so that you can "get it".


I will just say this. The rate of white single family homes have probably tripled from the rate in the 60's. Based upon your logic that single family homes explains high black murder rates of other blacks, one would expect to find a big increase in the rate of white homicides to coincide with the rate of increase in singe white households since the 60's. No such data showing an increase in homicides among whites exist. What is more likely is that the rate for whites has actually decreased since the 60's, NOTWITHSTANDING, an increase in single parent homes. I call BS. BS!


A cornerstone of scientific reasoning and theory is that a "discovery" has to be "reproducible". If you say mixing X and Y creates reaction Z, then someone else needs to mix X and Y and get the same Z. Yet, I took your formula, applied it to a rise in single parent homes for whites....and got no Z. Again.....BS!!!


Sell your snake oil somewhere else.

The black family nucleus is in chaos, so the black community as a whole will continue to be in chaos

There’s is nothing you, me, the internet, the government, or any politician can do to fix it because that time is long gone. Obama couldn’t even do anything and he had 8 years.

So threads like this won’t mean much. Blacks will continue to have an increas in out of wedlock birthrate funded by the government, blame all outside forces for all our issues, commit crimes against eachtother, see increases in the obesity rate, inqultities gaps widen, wealth decrease, and continue supporting Democrats.

Nice attempt at bribing awareness AA problem to the thread, but too little too late.

When the name calling starts, you’ve already lost the battle.

If blacks could go just 1 second without accusing someone of being a racist bigot, maybe just maybe, America could have an honest discussion about race.

Alas, that will never happen.

Again....the "chaos" in the white family structure is steadily increasing......yet.....the economics of the white community has remained stable, if not greatly improved. You are not going to sell me that snake oil for blacks. You are just trying to deflect from the damage done from racial oppression. Granted, the black family structure does need improving.....but its demise, relative to the white family structure, is rooted in racial oppression.
