FireChan Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ghetto Whites in America can't talk about living in white ghettos yet but that time is coming in 2044 whites are scheduled to become an official minority. What do you call a low income trailer park, or South Boston?
DC Tom Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 If you are poor and you are not harshly punished for circumventing certain conditions brought about by poverty you are in reality less poor than those harshly punished- ie Eric Garner relentlessly harassed and finally chocked to death for selling loose cigarettes. My wife wasn't poor because she's not dead?
IDBillzFan Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Anyone watch the debate last night? HIllary better hope she goes up against Trump because she and Sanders did everything but spoon each other on stage. Sanders had countless opportunities to wreck her, and he simply played pattycake with her. And whenever Hillary was asked a question about something like her emails, she'd pivot to complain about the civility in the GOP debates and Anderson would just move along. Up against anyone but Trump, she's screwed because they will be relentless on her answers.

TakeYouToTasker Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Bernie Sanders sweeps to victory in Maine Democratic caucus CBS News and Associated Press, by Staff Original Article Which means that Hillary wins the delegate count?
IDBillzFan Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Bernie Sanders sweeps to victory in Maine Democratic caucus CBS News and Associated Press, by Staff Original Article And let me guess...Hillary got more delegates.
....lybob Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 What do you call a low income trailer park, or South Boston? A trailer park, a rough area not ghettos My wife wasn't poor because she's not dead? your wife only became poor after she married you "that poor poor women, married to Tom"
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 A trailer park, a rough area not ghettos Virtually every immigrant group that has come to this country since the 1820's has lived in ghettos.
Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Virtually every immigrant group that has come to this country since the 1820's has lived in ghettos. But why are blacks still there in such large numbers?
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 But why are blacks still there in such large numbers? Because the Great Society policies, and all of their off-spring, have incentivized them staying there.
IDBillzFan Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Because the Great Society policies, and all of their off-spring, have incentivized them staying there. Are you sure? Last night Hillary said it was because of Bush.
Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Because the Great Society policies, and all of their off-spring, have incentivized them staying there. Then why did you bring up immigrants in ghettos since the 1820's since this conversation is (mainly) about blacks in the ghettos today?
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Then why did you bring up immigrants in ghettos since the 1820's since this conversation is (mainly) about blacks in the ghettos today? I don't think you're following along... My point is that every immigrant group to this country has experienced life in the ghetto. Every ethnic group has experienced poverty, even by the absurd Bernie Sanders standard.
Chef Jim Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I don't think you're following along... My point is that every immigrant group to this country has experienced life in the ghetto. Every ethnic group has experienced poverty, even by the absurd Bernie Sanders standard. Oh I'm following along just fine. This conversation is not about immigrants to this country it's about blacks in this country. So your second sentence above is relevant to the conversation. Your first? Not so much.
Tiberius Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 But why are blacks still there in such large numbers? Slavery and Jim Crow. You don't shake that off in a New York minute. Culture matters I don't think you're following along... My point is that every immigrant group to this country has experienced life in the ghetto. Every ethnic group has experienced poverty, even by the absurd Bernie Sanders standard. Jim Crow was just ending as the factory ear was ending so blacks never had wide spread access to those type of jobs which were really benefitical in more ways than just having a pay check. Just sayin
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Oh I'm following along just fine. This conversation is not about immigrants to this country it's about blacks in this country. So your second sentence above is relevant to the conversation. Your first? Not so much. No, you aren't. Sanders stated that no one could know poverty like black Americans because they've never lived in the ghetto. I've demonstrated that many other Americans have lived in, or still do live in, the ghetto.
Chef Jim Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 No, you aren't. Sanders stated that no one could know poverty like black Americans because they've never lived in the ghetto. I've demonstrated that many other Americans have lived in, or still do live in, the ghetto. Got it.
IDBillzFan Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 No, you aren't. Sanders stated that no one could know poverty like black Americans because they've never lived in the ghetto. I've demonstrated that many other Americans have lived in, or still do live in, the ghetto. The black vote is Sanders Achilles's heel. He'll never get the black vote when he runs against Hillary because no one sounds more black than Hillary when she says "I don't feel no way tarred."
