Black lives do matter

It's not that your assessment is wrong, it's that to dig at the root problem is too painful for most because they have to admit that what they thought about the what the root cause is wrong.

I am fully aware that society relative to civil rights for black Americans was abysmal 50+ yrs ago, BUT the structure of the family unit was FAR greater intact.. THIS, more than ANY other problem, is the root cause of the stats you cited.

So we have to dig deeper, and more painful, to ask what happened to decimate the black family unit. And yes I am speaking in generalities, but the numbers don't lie. At least 75% of black children are born out of wedlock today. A staggering historic number.

The truth of the matter lies with politics, and specifically the Democrat party. Somehow civil rights, which were desperately in need of an overhaul, got mixed in with The Great Society programs, to be almost synonamous.

Democrats realized that by manipulating the black family structure, by offering "free stuff", be it, food stamps, free housing, welfare stipends, medicaid, etc.. etc.., THEN enacting laws that said if a mother has children out of wedlock they would get MORE benefits and married families would get less, AND the more out of wedlock children the MORE benefits, that blacks would always vote for them.

Then they further REFUSED to allow school choice, in essence trapping generations in failed inner city schools.

This formula has worked remarkably well as over 90% of blacks have reliably voted Democrat for over 40 yrs, EVEN though they see how EXCLUSIVELY Democrat Mayors and councilman have utterly destroyed the very cities they live in.

Democrats have also been incredibly successful in indoctrinating EVERYONE with an educational system that glorifies this entitlement culture, not just for blacks, but for everybody, under the guise "caring" more.

Couple all this with a media conglomerate that is over 90% Democrat registered or left affiliated, and you can see why no matter what facet of American life you look at, morals, economy, entertainment, and so on, we all FEEL the country decliningworse and worse each passing day.

And let's not let the Republicans off the hook. With a scant victory here and there they have done NOTHING to stop this agenda, more concerned with their own political and economic well-being.

This all by the way, explains the phenomenoum of how a reality game show host, billinaire narcissist, is what many people believe is the country's last hope of stopping the evils of leftism.

Are you willing to think on that a little?

You used the expression "passed through." I don't know what you do, but in the years I did work with the people caught in this legal system of ours, I saw at least 4,000 individuals who usually spent at least three or four months with me on a weekly basis. In actuality, there is not a heck of a lot of difference between you and me, and those people. There really isn't, as much as we would love to swear there is.

As I said, we want to swear we are different. (There are things we might do that they would never do.)

Well, it does simply boil down to making a choice, this particular election, between two paths. One, to continue on as we are now doing... basically losing more and more, and failing. Or to chance it, and see if a man who really has built a substantial part of this country, and knows how to operate an organization in the black, can do the same if the company he is working to expand and grow is called America.

just about every political comment made by (Utah) has been filled with hatred towards ... liberals

Which proves that most inmates, regardless of color, are right where they belong.

Holy Smokes! I agree with Jennymae! Do I have to give you a rep? Can it be?

Hot sauce, malt liquor, menthol cigarettes. It would be mass pandemonium.

How to keep a business in the black -- declare bankruptcy whenever possible.

I'm really not into declaring bankruptcy, but we might have to no matter which way we go.

Did Trump file bankruptcy "whenever possible?"

The answer is "He didn't." Trump himself has never filed for bankruptcy. His corporations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times. By filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the corporation is allowed to continue running while restructuring and reducing its debt.

Trump is 70 years old. That would be about 50 years of developing corporations. That would mean he restructured corporations under chapter 11 about every 12 and a half years, or so. Interesting when you don't run with tales, but actually look at facts.

Next, I think I will go look up how many corporations we are talking about in those five decades......

A. So he plans to "restructure" the US? Interesting.

B. When are you going with facts? So far what I've seen is somehow Trump has something to do with BLM and we should all just give him a chance.

Had I known this was your way to talk about Trump on page one, I wouldn't have bothered. Got enough Trump sound bites going on the News Forum already. And, at least they actually tell why they want Trump. (Well, most of them anyway.) So far I got you think of him as a loud-mouth.

Bait-and-Switch really doesn't ever win me.

Yup. This is supposed to be a "Christian" web site composed of adherents of the Prince of Peace who said to love everyone. But ever since I came into this forum, just about every political comment made by the majority of the right wingers here has been filled with hatred towards Democrats, liberals, and towards minorities.
