I said "Continue".... meaning we have.
but honestly we have been doing that for a while and the results are slow in showing. I do think its changing and i think the more we say it, the better we get at it. AND the more we get traction.


Poor blacks in America deal with issues we just don't. Democrats have never even tried to address the real issues. Instead they just hand out poverty and public dole. People get conditioned to living that way.


Trump has provided tax incentives to get companies to open shop in underserved communities. we need to keep pushing that and insure that these Americans are able to begin gaining wealth.


you say many like the socialism offered. Well when that's all that's offered....
Republicans are offering dignity. we keep that up we win.

America has had a long history of racism. We might have progressed since the 60s, but we still have alot of issues with racism, no matter which political party is in charge.

Get over it, and stop wasting our tax dollars and committing crimes against the rest of us. You are the bad guys in this racial conflict, and you need to change your behavior.
Well police mistreatment of Black people is real. Its only the shooting part that is a lie.

I think its a combination of prejudice (they deal with lots of Black criminals) as opposed to actual racism along with a lot of attitude from Blacks-which would get any person in trouble with a police officer.

Both sides need to stop using race as a bludgeon against one another.

It's not just White Republicans that (many) non-whites/non-Europeans hate...

I have said it often that I think racism will die a natural death because it is becoming more and more common for people of different skin colors and ancestries to marry each other* and have children. And public approval of this is nearing 90%.* And as I have also said many times before, i think that most people would find it difficult to dislike their grandchildren just because one of their parents was black or white (or whatever).

*Marriage between interracial couple, 1967 vs. 2017 was 3% vs. 17%. https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2017...ng-v-virginia/ And public approval went from 4% in the 1958 to almost 90% now. https://news.gallup.com/poll/163697/...ks-whites.aspx

It's not just in politics where race issues abound. It's with ordinary people as well.

Explain how you think things will get worse before they get better. Not saying you're right or wrong. I need to know where you're coming from on this.
