A noble and true statement . I believe true racism lies a lot with politicians who pander and promise and deliver nothing. Also reliance on the government for handouts is tantamount to slavery .I wish I had the answer but I don't other than to treat every person the same as I would like to be treated.
Even Snopes has stopped covering for the crazy old bitch!
Republicans slam Maxine Waters for telling protesters to 'get more confrontational' over Chauvin trial
Republicans condemned Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for telling protesters in Minnesota to "get more confrontational."www.foxnews.com
This crazy old bat and any other politician should be charged with inciting a riot when making comments like this.
"I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public." --Booker T. Washington
The answer is investing in our youth, especially the ones who are in poverty stricken, high crime and drug rates. Get to these kids before they start a vicious cycle. Invest in education, sports after school programs. Investing in uplifting their families out of poverty and opportunities for furthering education and training for the parents. It's all about prevention and of those families from starting a vicious cycle rather than demonizing those who fall through the cracks.
How’s that working out in California?
It's a vicious cycle all the way around. You say don't demonize those who fall through the cracks. Are you saying we should remain above it all, not express opinions? Those who fall through the cracks often hurt others. They keep many legitimate businesses that provide jobs away from their neighborhoods. The thing is a lot of money has been spent since the 60's trying to do what you said. It's not up to outside forces to change the culture. Change comes from within. Surely you've noticed that there are black parents who care very much about their children, want the best for them. They instill character in them that allows them to finish school, get a degree, join the military, become a successful this or that, whatever. They escape those circumstances, and bring their parents with them. But too many are mired in a system that I used to say started with good intentions. I don't think that anymore. The system is founded on one principle, creating dependency on the government. The ones that break free, break the cycle, are bucking the system. Trying to "act white." No, if you truly want change it's going to have to come from within. Because over 50 years later new government programs haven't been proven to work, and are hazardous to the integrity of the black family.
Better than Texas.
It’s similar to rural America. The people that can do better move out of the ghetto leaving only the desperate behind. I’ve had several drivers like that. The start working for me living in a crappy part of the city and after 6 months to a year of having a decent job they move away to a nicer part. It’s the correct decision for them but doesn’t improve the culture of the ghetto they were raised in.
I don't think we should just abandon the ghetto. We should assist in eliminating hunger, provide housing. But it's never going to change unless those that are dependent no longer want that. And plenty are happy with that. And I'm being as honest as I can here. When I worked at FedEx I worked hard. Earned every penny. I've tried a few jobs since taking my pension four years ago. My FedEx experience doesn't really translate into good paying jobs. Most of it was totally mind numbing. The only thing that I enjoyed was expediting, traveling all the time. But it was so exhausting I had to quit. So I can sympathize with those who'd rather stay home and collect assistance. But that shouldn't happen with young, healthy adults. So if they must automate away millions of jobs then give good technical training to young adults and let them handle what is left. Give a UBI to people 45 and older to stay home.
Ok neanderthal. Now go back to your cave....
Case in point right here....You insist that you're "picked on" because you're black and viewed as an inferior race, but when I post a snippet from a Nigerian news source; a country that is 99.9999% black and "racism" can't exist by your definition, you have no retort because YOU'RE NOT SMART ENOUGH!!!
Your inferiority complex is getting the best of you. Seek help, son...
FunnyKaf.......Any idea which tribe your family comes from?? That's probably "racist" to the uninformed, illiterate kind of person such as you.
I’m sure there were good people on both sides.
Do you cash your stimulus checks? Are you being enslaved?
You probably actually believe that.
Oil rich capitalist state.
