Do you think we like that huge swaths of our country are out of control, violent ghettos??

We WANT to see black people get their act together, it's better for EVERYBODY.
He only cares about 1 issue, race, race, race!

Time to change that username.
You don't think from '65 to '22 isn't a longtime?

You are free to have your own opinions, same as I do.

The only difference is that I do NOT attempt a insult you for yours.

But, if you want to go that route, I CAN oblige and you will se how "Quick" I CAN get!

I would think everyone would congratulate them on stepping up in the world.
Agree!

I'd say each of those have a bias.

262,000 blacks left Detroit alone from 1950 to 2020:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogr...ory_of_Detroit

Detroit lost ~2/3rds of its population in the past 7 decades.

The city gives houses away for free, if you just pay the back property tax bill on them!

This is how uber-left policies play out over time...every time w/o fail. Leftist policies crush blacks economically, w/ crime, abortion, failed schools, political corruption, high taxes, eroding infrastructure, ect..

Blacks now have a new awareness of this, which is why they are voting increasingly for Republicans. Trump went from 8% in 2016 to 12% in 2020, a 50% increase. Today, black approval ratings for the Republican party has increased a lot.

When CNN says Dems are losing ground amongst blacks, you know its bad for Dems:

Democrats need to focus on better running local cities. I disagree with GOP on many hot button national issues but also recognize that Ds have a monopoly on running some of the worst cities.

IMO, a wasted vote.

Even half the precincts in Frisco, TX (one of those "it" suburbs for familes to move to) went for Biden over Trump.
https://www.zipdatamaps.com/election...oting-precinct

Stats for Frisco, TX (DT Frisco to DT Dallas: 29 miles).
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/friscocitytexas
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino: 53.9%
Hispanic or Latino, 12.2%
Black or African American alone, percent 8.2%

High school graduate or higher, percent of persons age 25 years+, 2016-2020 96.0%
Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25 years+, 2016-2020 64.4%
Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2016-2020 dollars: $420,700
Median household income (in 2020 dollars), 2016-2020 $128,761
Per capita income in past 12 months (in 2020 dollars), 2016-2020 $54,660
Persons in poverty, 4.0%

Same thing goes for Allen, TX (Frisco's eastern neighbor) https://www.zipdatamaps.com/election...oting-precinct
So it seems even a lot of middle to upper middle class suburban whites were fed up with the reactionary right - and in Texas besides!

You clearly believe that Black people that left the south to escape Jim Crow prior to 1965 are "LONG DEAD", how ridiculous is that? That's about a dozen of my family members, I'll have to alert them that they've been "long dead", lol.
