i should hope blacks are better off than 100 years ago LOL!

are they better off than the 1970s or 1960s? im not so sure.

the 800 billion defense budget is ruining the debt. and the expensive private healthcare.
Note I said infinitely. But a lot of the time you'd never know it listening to liberals.

We are not a democracy ricky, thankfully so. I say thankfully because if it was instituted as a democracy the United States of America would not be in existence today. We are currently teetering on the destruction of the Republic. My opinion is it is already lost, all that is left is to dot i's and cross t's. It will take awhile to accomplish the final mortification. I'm glad I will not be around to see the global ramifications of the loss of this once great nation. Be careful for what you wish, it may occur.
A bit morose.
Obviously, the two party system is the real issue.
A third party could change the dynamics and disallow the 'railroading' of spending and social laws when both houses of Congress and the Presidency are controlled by one party.

The Dims and the Repugs suck when they are in charge and both increase the size of the National Government and increase the National debt.

Thanks for letting me share.

Dude as a little boy I changed channels manually, all three of them, on a black and white tv. Now even the poor of this country sport big screen tv's with hundreds of channels, the latest smart phones, and judging by their appearance they aren't missing meals. Where is it written that if they don't have what the rich guy has their life has no meaning? Go to countries where most of the population subsists on a few bucks a day, if even, while the elites hog all the wealth and are quick to kill anyone who challenges that. You live in a fantasy world, sorry, but you do.

Blacks are much better off in the South and in Corporate America too.
Blacks are under-represented in the Technology sector because so many are not taking STEM courses to prepare them for the skill-sets needed in that sector.

I agree with what you posted but there is still room for people like rickyb in the discussions.
Probably not any room in the actual implementation or the real world.
I feel sorry for him because he will always be looking from the outside never being involved in the actual solutions to the world's problems.

True, how can you work towards solutions with all the finger pointing? Yes, that applies to all of us but he's taking it to another level.

well ive heard both actually.
there are more blacks in the justice system now (jail, parole, etc) than were slaves.

the war on drugs was to stop the civil rights movement.
I agree War on drugs is bad, but stopping the civil rights movement? I think black panthers were anti-drug, I never saw martin Luther smoking crack either.
