I always got Lewis and Elijah Cummings confused, both one and the same.

My response to that would be 1) it tells you how deeply rooted the problem really is, 2) some blacks may not want racism to go away for whatever reason, and 3) some whites may not want racism to go away for whatever reason. Despite all that, there are those who will never stop trying to eradicate it. Cheers to them.

I'll also contend the family has given way to being a single parent with welfare. If promoting family could be done, I believe things would also greatly improve. Racism? Ehh, anyone with a "Want" can make it here in the US, skin color doesn't matter. What matters is those with an agenda hustling emotion. Throw in corrupt politicians that control millions and billions of dollars and the SHTF. Which brings it full circle to Hank Johnson, the entire definition of an ignorant, less than an atom of intelligence, corrupt politician.

That is a pretty broad generalization. You do realize there are black traditional nuclear families with two parents who are educated with children who go to school and obey the law and become productive citizens themselves, right?

but we now reward and celebrate failure. our welfare system cuts your income if you get married or get a job. more kids = more money. it used to be that we referred to unmarried women having children as having children out of wedlock. now we call them single mothers. and we invent child care systems for the little kids, because their mom has to work all day, and can't stay home to raise the kid. i could go on, but i'm tired. |

You want an honest answer? Not really. If we dismantled the welfare state, and instead, found a way for inner city youths to have access to good jobs that pay a real living wage to start, and a wage to the experienced on which a person could raise a family, I believe that some percentage of inner city youths would choose to stop dealing drugs and gang-banging, and work those jobs. I believe that would set into motion a series of events that would at least severely curtail that worst parts of the systemic racism in this country.
I've said it before: systemic racism is real in this country, it is in the form of the "progressive" policies that more or less ensure a huge amount of the black people in this country are bound to the inner city with little chance of escape. |
