of course. poverty is largely a matter of circumstance however that breeds the mindset we are unable to change
Throw off the mental restricts -but the circumstances still need to be "changed"

Clinton didn't have welfare reform. The Republicans in Congress did.
Don't expect blacks to do any better when they support a party that enables them to do worse.

I suspect Southern cities are no better with " Blacks"
I was surprised by the much higher criminality in Sarasota vs New York.
I do believe Sarasota is run by Republicans.
Sarasota was worse than Poughkeepsie for crime.
Poughkeepsie around here has a bad reputation.

They're already so far behind they didn't need any help.
To me, BLM means that you stand for the principal that Americans (especially police forces) need to recognize that many Americans have never believed that Black lives are important or deserving of the same respect as White lives. IN San Francisco putting a BLM sign in your yard might not change your life at all, here in suburban Florida it will. I do not have a sign in my yard, but I can tell you a story about what happened in the life of several teachers and a principal who put such a sign up at the school.
Verbal support is nice, and important from white community, but actions are more important and will result in more change. I do several things to support the ideals of BLM, I work on a social justice program at a local public school, I present educational information on how the Civil Rights movement of the 60's changed American law as it relates to public school and another educational piece on how unconscious prejudices and cultural biases of teachers can adversely affect minority students. I go out of my way to ensure that my children have the opportunity to further develop and strengthen their friendships with black friends. My neighborhood has very few black people, my sons best friend is a black kid from two blocks away, that happened naturally. My daughter has lots of white friends in the neighborhood, but several at school, I often make the effort to ensure she gets to spend out of school time with her black friends, that simply involves me providing lots of transportation to their homes that are often far away from our neighborhood.
What I do is not enough, but even having a sign and being public matters. Its not going out on a limb in SF, but most places in America a BLM sign would likely expose you to prejudice from your neighbors and likely the police department.

Leftists & Conservatives need to go back to the drawing board on ( Blacks)
Conservatives blame Socialism & Welfare.
Meanwhile China was in 1973 poorer than Africa.
After decades of China having more Socialist & welfare than Africa the Chinese have propelled way ahead of Africa.
Leftists blame Colonialism & discrimination.
So, why is South Africa colonized the longest in Africa the richest among Africa!?
Why is Liberia & Ethiopia not officially colonized poor by African standards.
As for African Americans why did discrimination probably halve since Civil Rights, but no wealth progress was made in terms of Black American wealth!?

god, you are such a stupid fuck racist. who, besides stupid shit bitches like you, believe the government has taken the place of the father in black homes, you stupid shit bitch?
this is a fairly interesting fact about single mothers in this country-
DEMOGRAPHIC
Around half (49.5%) of single mothers have never married, almost a third (29.9%) are divorced, 20.5% are either separated or widowed. Half have one child, 30% have two. 6 About two thirds are White, one third Black.

Fucking bullshit, I remember back then very well. There is no way that the totally non-violent times back in the Sixties can be compared to now. You're too young to remember, which is why you feel that you can spout such unadulterated bovine excrement.
Listen to or read his speeches. He saw through the bullshit and was able to explain them very well. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...er-king-jr-quotes-10-most-popular/2636024002/ His moral lessons were fine.
I agree with judging people by things other than the color of their skin.
Facing adversity is one thing that can show a persons character, being born a minority in America very often results in adversity so many black people in America have had a better chance to show character than many white people. Trump is orange (by choice) but that factor has nothing to do with what we have seen of his character. When faced with the adversity of facing a consequence of his actions, his lies and abusiveness of others was a particularly telling example of his character.

You keep getting in your own way- stepping in your own SHIT!
YOU are beyond help- YOU JUST CAN'T HELP YOURSELF BEING A RACIST!
YOU STILL THINK- BECAUSE YOU ARE WHITE- YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL MINORITIES!
Until you scrap that thought- YOU WILL NEVER GROW. YOU WILL JUST REMAIN RETARDED FOREVER- STUCK ON WHITE!

why are eastern european countries so poor and fucked up? are they just more stupid than other europeans? or could there be other factors at play, outside of stupid fuck racist theories?
While the countries of Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union have made significant progress in reducing poverty in the past five years, poverty and vulnerability remain significant problems. More than 60 million are poor and more than 150 million are vulnerable.
https://openknowledge.worldbank.org...es of Eastern,than 150 million are vulnerable.
Poverty and Inequality in Eastern Europe and the CIS ...www.un.org › esa › desa › papers
According to the Report the national incidence of poverty is close to 20 per cent. The rural population has the highest rates of poverty (30.4 per cent), while the urban population has a poverty rate of 15.7 per cent. The majority of the poor, close to 60 per cent, live in urban areas.

Was it me?
should there be raced based quotas in school admissions, hiring, and government?
It's always difficult for me to tell if you insane fucking retards are serious about this, or just being edgy for shock value.

I'm calling BS.
I think I've suffered more discrimination than a lot of Blacks.
Denzel Washington admits it 30 years ago he was discriminated against.

You want to know how many times I feel discrimination from.people in the past 2 years!?
For my Polish half I was told twice Pokes drink more than Irish.
Told Poles are really dumb it's no joke.
Told on my Irish half that Irish are A holes.
Told twice best that Irish have small wee wee .
I was stared down for about 90 seconds with mean stares by a random Black person.
The logic is that blacks were kept out of schools, jobs, home buying, and many other societal advantages. Giving them the advantage for a while was a way for them to catch up. It makes sense.
I'm not the one that supports programs where race is a consideration. You do, though, and that is racist.
You don't know what I think. My superiority to you has nothing to do with race. I'm simply superior.
