What can republicans do for blacks?

Not to mention war on drugs , police brutality , destruction of unions .

In their defense...... Republicans did build a lot of prisons in poor neighborhoods

Where should they have built them, in upper class suburbs where there is little crime?

If we put them in wealthy neighborhoods, we would not have 2.5 million Americans in prison

Why not?

Because the wealthy will gladly send the poor to prison, even profit off of them but will not tolerate a prison in their neighborhood

Still doesn't answer the question, so let's try again: how would putting prisons in wealthy neighborhoods reduce the amount of prisoners?

You only go to prison if you break our laws. Want to reduce the prison population, reduce crime. There is no other way.
 
It is interesting that I can post many things Republicans have done to help the poor especially the black poor.

Yet to counter that all we hear is that the Republicans opposed programs that are in place right now. What sense does that make?

Or that the democrats are claiming every president they think did good things as one of their own. They are claiming Lincoln but also claim "ask not" president Kennedy as one of their own. In other words all they got is mis-guided opinion.

Out of wedlock births in the black community are bout 73% right now. Single parent households are directly related to poverty.

How do Republicans (or anybody for that matter) solve that problem? It's a problem the black community has to solve themselves. In fact most of the problems blacks experience today are self-inflicted.
You are mostly correct

The rise in single family households followed the loss of jobs in poor neighborhoods (both urban and rural)
Once the jobs left, fathers gave up supporting their families

Funny how that didn't happen in the white community though.

Try again. Excuses are cheap anyways.
Wrong again

Go to rural white communities in Red states. Family farms have failed and jobs are gone. Single parent households are rampant in those communities

And your evidence is?????

Rinse/ Repeat

Our prisons are filled with non violent offenders and those with extended sentences due to mandatory sentencing guidelines

Our prison population has increased five fold since the war on drugs began

Put new prisons in rich neighborhoods and you would see the prison population plummet
 
Ask not what your country can do for you?

?

Really? Its one of president John F. Kennedy's most famous quotes, "ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."

It never ceases to amaze me how conservatives turned JFKs call for public service into a condemnation of social programs

JFK called for more social programs in that same speech you know?

"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

Again why? That makes no sense whatsoever. You build prisons in wealthy areas and somehow, that would make less people break the law or get sentenced to prison? I can't follow that logic.
 
All I heard is "Stop listening to the Democrats" and a strange argument as to why Republicans don't tell Blacks what they can do(Because Blacks say they can't do anything? That is called a challenge by a group, not a command!)
If that's all you heard, you either weren't listening or you're cherry picking.

It's a little of both.

He doesn't want to talk about why blacks need republicans to help them.

For 80 years or more, they've followed the Democrats who are supposed to be helping them. You would think they would have been helped by now. That they wouldn't be needing republicans to help them. But no, the plans haven't worked and now they turn to republicans and want to know what republicans can do to help.

Apparently, armchair thinks that Republicans ought to try and out-do the democrats with plans that don't work and don't help? Yes... that's a genius plan... let's have a double-scoop of shit that don't work!


Republicans have plans that work. Tell us about them, please!!

No really, tell us about these plans that work. Most f the things I am hearing from conservatives is bitching about Democrats and their brainwashing of Blacks. Oh, and the 'fact' Blacks are stupid!!

Here is a hint--instead of coming up to a Black person and calling him brainwashed or stupid for voting Democrats, Try this simple.trick.

Walk up to him and say, "Hey, what do you think about this?" and then spring your WONDEROUS conservative idea on him!!

It is simple, respectful and takes less than 5 minutes of pointless, insulting and logically flawed argument which does not get you any where!

You know, it's actually the Democrats who think blacks are stupid. You are not only stupid, you are so far down the ladder of intelligence, you require state action to "level your field" with everyone else, who are markedly smarter than you. Poor black person, you can't he'p it you're so handicapped. Here, let's give you a special program to help you!

Hey... what do you think about this? How about we treat ALL Americans equal and have faith that black people can achieve things on their own without our patronizing? How about we motivate people to be their best instead of encouraging them to be victims? How about we teach you to be successful through your initiative and talent as opposed to being entitled because you were born with dark skin?

I don't know about Republicans, but Conservatives think black people are individuals and they each bring their unique attributes to the table. They are not less capable because of skin pigmentation and don't require assistance from anyone. Their brains are just as developed, they are just as smart, just as business-savvy, just as resourceful as anyone else.

It is the historically RACIST Democrats who seek to keep black people on the plantation. You continue to gesture that they are not good enough, they need you to help them. Those evil white republicans just don't understand what it's like to be born black and ignorant... they just want to take away all your free stuff!

Well that's never going to happen because Democrats need helpless blacks. That's where they get their votes from.

If we ever became a country of self-reliant people with few if any victims, the only place you would be able to learn about the Democrat party is history books.

And yet the Right keep ordering a double-scoop of trickle down shit that never worked.
 
Republicans do not promote racism. That's a liberal lie.

Minorities run to democrats because they are bribed with promises of free stuff.
That's a racist CON$ervative lie.
