The Extremes are killing this country. Centrism is the solution.

The racism that had whites disliking other races for their own extended into whites making laws to deny others the same rights, and today it continues with whites who just simply do not follow the laws made to provide equality for everyone. You can dislike whoever you want, but when that dislike impedes the liberty of those you don't like, that's when it must be stopped.

I agree fully.

 

[Woodznutz]

The equal opportunity policies that the right has opposed have not infringed upon anyone's rights. The data shows this. The states are not the final authority to determine equality. The states have always had problems with equality. That's why it is the federal government's job to make sure equality is provided throughout the country.

It's the black criminal subculture that's pulling blacks down, not white racism. Put your own house in order.

How do you propose that it be stopped?

I agree fully.

The only problem facing blacks is the lack of a father in the family.

Black men need to be fathers and raise the children they create.

Getting teen girls pregnant gives young blacks 'street cred', which they need to bolster their lagging self-esteem.

Black men need to be fathers and raise the children they create.

Sadly, many of those fathers are children themselves and lack the means to support a family.

That's a huge problem, but I believe the lack of opportunity within the black community due to the lack of investment capital is a bigger one. There aren't enough black businesses to provide black employment. This stems from a general distrust within the black community itself. When I see efforts intended to benefit blacks in my city the funding always comes from the white business community. Blacks don't see 'capital formation' as important.

We have invested 27 trillion dollars in the black community since the welfare state and what we got is single mothers more poverty the worst crime of any culture. Where does it start. With a two parent family. Democrats destroyed the two parent family. The investment lacking is called human capital moral values not money

There are also fewer options to deal with unwanted pregnancy for blacks. Abortion is off the table in many states. There are more black babies than the adoption services can handle (as opposed to white babies which are always in high demand for adoption). Blacks have a weaker family support system as well and thus depend more on government services for support. That said many young black girls actually want to have babies, as one young mother revealed, "Now at least I'll have something of my own."

Without white racism there is no "black criminal subculture," as you put it. To believe otherwise is to believe black people are inherently predisposed to commit crime.

I don't include good black folks in the black subculture.

You won't help if you give yourself to being part of the problem.

I am not part of the problem. I have been a moderate centrist all my life. I believe in compromise with both giving and getting part of what they are asking for (if and when it is within the Constitution,

Black women have the highest abortion ratio in the country, with. 474 abortions per 1,000 live births. Access isnt the problem. Many black women intend to get pregnant and never marry. Black men refuse to step up and be fathers.

This is a cultural values problem created by the democrat welfare state. Even today democrats advocate single mothers. Single mothers are the main cause of poverty and crime.

This morning on the Smerconish show (on CNN), he showed in a clear way that this country is being torn apart by the extremes of both parties, In his show, he showed (using polls) that Centrism is what most Americans want. Compromises by both parties is what has worked in the past and would be the solution to today's problems

May 19, 2024 — The very notion of centrism is anathema to many progressives and conservatives, conjuring a mushy moderation. But the ...

I am in total agreement!

What say you

I say you are full of it again, you want liberal ideals pushed, you are only backing off because you realize how bad the left is failing to connect with the voters.

 

[MagicMike]

If you don't like being called racists and Nazis then stop embracing racist and Nazi ideology.
And here's another idea. If you don't like being called names maybe stop calling orhers Marxists and Communists.

That's my impression of what the lefty influencers are doing. . but the right does that as well.

When they are out of power, they all claim we need to talk and compromise.

. . . but once any of them get power. . . it's. . .

Your statement cuts both ways.

if you don’t like being called Marxist’s and communists then stop embracing Marxist and communist ideology.
