Granted, I'll give you that Democrats have done their best to keep blacks down with the KKK, Jim Crow and voting against the civil rights movement...heck even Johnson's welfare act was as he put it: "Gonna have those N****** voting Democrat for the next 200 years"...he was right, they were...easily manipulated with trinkets! They even bought the "switch" which was complete BS...the only switch the Democrats made was in tactic, not intent.


I'm glad someone like Trump came along and is helping blacks despite them not initially supporting them. I am seeing so many black conservatives rising now and trying to help other blacks in a positive way...it's encouraging.
This is all true. Those who don't believe it are annoyed because it's a knock to their intelligence and their ego.

The under performing schools is a reflection of under performing homes and environments. It's not schools that make good students. Its homes. Now, schools should have the basic equipment of the modern era, however. So I am not really into this argument about school vouchers vs other types of schools. Unless the issues of THE PEOPLE are addressed....the schools are not going to change that. I personally would advocate tax payer funded boarding schools.

Any candidates talking about this? Blacks unemployment may be near record lows......but blacks don't seem to have much wealth....not surprising given how important home value is to ones wealth.
And how many are hispanic or asian? Or do those races/ethnicities not matter?

Is that society's issue or a parental home guidance issue? Or a cultural issue?

First off.....you are painting blacks out to be VICTIMS (but of liberalism) while often chastising blacks for having a VICTIM mentality. You want to downplay the victimization of racism, while playing up the victimization caused by liberalism.

Secondly, I honestly see left right politics as the tool for white representation. The left is the antithesis of the right and the right is the antithesis of the left. However, historically, whites have been the antithesis of blacks in this country and whites are on the left and right. So left right politics is not the root of black issues......whites are the root of black issues.

Why are you trying to create mutual exclusivity of choices?

No...not in this discussion. The primary races in this country, for the vast majority of its history, are Native Americans, whites and African Americans. The typical member in these groups are at least 8 generation Americans. Through this history....as a Native, White and black nation....the racial inequalities between these groups was formed.

Ok, you didn't want to answer the question, which is a logical outgrowth of your original premise. Seems to me that you are the one delineating mutual exclusivity of choices.

Oh, I didn't expect you to answer the question so I wasn't surprised.

We can talk about homes....but be sure not to leave out white homes. White kids are the ones buying most of the rap music. White culture is the main source of income for entertainers and athletes.

Weird huh? The US has progressed to the point where blacks can be billionaires in this country and yet some people hold this up as a negative thing.

But anyway, that's hateful bitter people for you. Glass always half full.
