Whew, I'm such a genius. I solved 12% of America's problems in 1 sentence!

And what solutions have been presented by any of the community organizers, media or president?
I can't tell you what the solution is, but I can definitely tell you what it isn't. It isn't regressing civil rights to take away black opportunities. The main problem right now is that blacks aren't utilizing their wide range of opportunities now that they have them. How in the phuck is taking those opportunities and rights back away benefit anybody in the black community at all?

In a fascist world, every aspect of their lives would be controlled and they wouldn't have time to do anything but work state approved jobs and do state approved things while not working (under complete surveillance). They would be forced to work for credits and they would use those credits to purchase state-approved goods.
I believe this is the world that Rush and co. had in mind for the black community.

Well the problem may be in your statement and thats where the problem is, there are plenty of opportunities however they are not utilizing them so the end result because it is not being used, is that its a waste, so its taken away because its unused.

The fact is they have the choice, if they utilize it doesn't matter. Everyone deserves the freedom to use the opportunities if they want to. Like I said that is why now is so much better even if we don't fix the problem the fact is that we have the ability and maybe one day we will. But the boot of Jim Crow not allowing was horrible and those days don't deserve any praise at all regarding how society was towards blacks.

So why are they not using them is what I am getting at. It seems the old trick of, don't work well pay you not to work, just vote for us. Sure the opportunity is there, but if you can get checks and a fridge full of food for free, why work?

Nah. Done talking to you about this anyways, you have nothing serious to add but trolling and acting tough on a keyboard.

The libertarian side of me agrees with this because those programs should never have existed to begin with. They should only exist in the form of privately owned and run charities.
The bleeding hear liberal side of me says these programs are not far reaching enough and we need a massive campaign to even up the SES problems we are experiencing across the races.
The conservative side of me thinks that all programs not being used by a majority of the population (within reason) should automatically be scrapped without a second thought.
So which side of me is the correct side?
Obviously, the libertarian perspective is the best perspective, by far, if humans weren't such selfish pricks and were capable of creating pragmatic charity programs that are large enough in scope and funding to even up the SES race gaps. 😐
But that's clearly not an option.

Problem I have seen is that I have a few black friends back from school and that I have met from work, gym, church other places. I could give a breif description of them and you might see where I am going.
4 Close Black friends I know.
Friend 1: Married with kids, lives in Vegas, nice home, marriage is screwed up and pretty much "doing it for the kids. Pays taxes, very conservative on his view points. Never went to college, but is a professional trainer at a nice fitness club in vegas
Friend 2: Former Aspiring Rapper/Singer/Musician. Problems with the law, few arrests, nothing to serious with Girls other then dates. Very opinionated on view points that follow the general attitude of Sharpton and the rest. Now is unemployed living off welfare.
Friend 3: More of a role model to everyone really, MD practices in Neurologist, successful, family 4 kids, big house, nice cars. Conservative affiliation.
My cousin: Half White/Half Black: Grew up in a good family home, money, parents together still. Good looking, played basketball in school, Went to college, got degree, now teaches and coaches HS basketball. Conservative.
Where am I going with this? To me its seems like the one friend thats follow what the supposed leaders of the black community preach, well he has not gotten anywhere and is now living off welfare. The ones that went out, did what they are supposed to, get jobs, wanna be good productive members in society. The one that followed what his supposed leader said and followed that ideology got lost. So we have 4 people, 3 successful free thinking individuals and one that was brainwashed and now sadly unemployed with no motivation to do anything anymore.
