Well this just took an unexpected turn. LOL I just learned that, not only do we all look alike, but we are also required to think alike…😉 1

Chef is playing chess on here again? We ain't worthy Chef. I think my post actually answered your question. But you busy with chess.

They of course will never admit that because they don't even understand it themselves. Those poor people of color need our help! And they've done a great job picking which colors need help. 1 minute ago, nedboy7 said: Yes I think that is clearly what I am implying with my posts.

That really IS the reason Racism did that. That's not a theory, it's a fact

That's not a theory, it's a fact Well, certainly racism contributed to the black community not reaching its fullest potential… But my point is, as I stated before, the black community achieved the fastest rate of economic growth, more than any other ethnic group, during a period of oppression…And I’m suggesting the culture has actually gone backwards, because the community was better off 60 years ago than it is today… #MakeTheBlackCommunityGreatAgain😉👍

Only a racist would make such an argument, but, you say you are African American? Ok Black people were better off during segregation. That's this guys argument

In 1960, 7 out of 10 black households had two parents in the home-even higher than white families… Today, 2 out 10 black households have two parents… Which time period was better for the black family, today or 1960? In 1960, black students graduated high school at a higher rate, with higher GPAs… Which time period was better for the black student, today or 1960? Today, higher drug use, higher gang violence, higher black on black homicide… The black communities had thriving business districts in the ‘40s and ‘50s…It was the golden age of black American culture, and the sky was the limit… How am I a racist for saying such things- especially if they are true? How am I racist for wanting the black community to reach greatness? Furthermore, I was told I couldn’t be racist because I’m black- only white people can be, because they have the power…😉 Edited November 30, 2022 by JaCrispy 2 1

Locally owned and run businesses, community services, social support systems like churches and community centers. And strong civic leaders. Those support systems were damaged not by the end of segregation but by government social policies and corporate businesses that destroyed those support systems thriving in the local communities. 1

Exactly…in old times, that was how society structured itself to get ahead- God, Family, Community…and it worked… Its unfortunate some black communities bought the lie that big government was selling- and ultimately, it all but destroyed them… 1

Race has nothing to do with it. Look at the number of people that didn’t work during the pandemic when many chose to collect a paycheck for not working. Same with unemployment. How many weeks do they get now? 1

That really IS the reason Racism did that. That's not a theory, it's a fact So what's stopping folks in the black community now? Most families in my previous neighborhood were from various Asian countries and spoke very little English and came here with absolutely nothing and are all prospering. Is the world only racist against 1 race? My neighbors succeeded by having good family structure, high value placed on education, and owning businesses. That's the American dream and it's obtainable for everyone. Racism is not an excuse. Everyone I know is 2-3 generations removed from being immigrants themselves. We need to stop with the excuses and hold people accountable for their actions.

I think more people would vote against Trump than for him or for whoever the Dems run. It's basically Trump vs Trump and enough people don't like him where they will send in those mail in ballots against him so I don't think he has a chance to win. Desantis on the other hand is probably our best bet to bring some sanity back to the world
