Funny thing is those poor whites probably blame jews, blacks and mexicans. LOL
There are always going to be poor communities. Capitalism depends on it. The question is, are black people always going to be the ones who are poor?
Yes, they do blame Blacks and other minorities for their impoverished existence. And the drivers of that "blame" are the more prosperous Whites who see a a vested interest in doing so via their media sources. That is what Erhlichman was revealing to us but he didn't go far enough. RW politicians continuously use that strategy to their political advantage.I dare say that right wing politicians would probably never win an election without stoking the fires of demagoguery . And for those who didn't know, Limbaugh unabashedly revealed how the right employs the devious tactic pointing the finger at Obama for being divisive to mask their own far more pervasive divisiveness. I see the right wing strategy has got you hooked, other wise you wouldn't have asked the silly question about Black people always being the ones who are poor. How many times do I have to tell you Blacks ARE NOT POOR AS A GROUP!
Sure I complain that you can take the black out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the black, but I believe their kids or their grandkids will be much better off moving away from Detroit and going to a good school in a nice safe neighborhood.
You are too restricted in your thinking. Even in Detroit there are decent Blacks... visit the local NAACP and go to their meetings...you will be safe there and you will learn a lot. I would be interested in reading your impressions here when you reflect on your experiences there.
Sure 90% of the blacks in poor cities are good hard working people, but the 10% that aren't are making the place unlivable.
I suggest you discuss that with you local NAACP and pass your viewpoints and suggestions to them. They will have more of a handle on the Blacks in Detroit than you or I could imagine. BTW White people are welcome in the NAACP and there are many White members.. I suspect they do so because they want to know the truth and not just speculate within the framework of media bias.
No surprise all the most dangerous places are black cities.
Cities have always been more dangerous than rural areas or small towns regardless of the dominant demographic. Poverty, is a correlating factor more than race. Prior to FDR's new deal the urban areas were rife with gangs of every ethnic background and murder/crime was as common place or more so than it is now. Proportionally it was probably a lot worse since there were fewer people back then. But what fuelled such invidious poverty?
What part of the Constitution allowed Chid labor, slave wages, and a total disregard for public safety and health? Where is it written therein that the great masses of citizens should go wanting in the face of oppressive oligarchies?
Friend, it took WW2 and FDR to make a difference for most Americans. Not Conservatism...THAT CAUSED THE DEPRESSION.
Sadly, it took a while longer for upwardly mobile Blacks to have access to their American dream but they have , for the most part ,rose to the occasion.
