Zone1 Why Can't Black People Just Take Responsibility For Their Own Actions?

[Lisa558]

I think if the Republicans have a strong enough majority, we may see a small stock market rebound.

Yes, but on the flip side, analysts are saying that if the Dems have a good night, we will see even more of a crash.

i have to admit that between the leftists indoctrinating young college students against Jews and my evaporating IRA (and my mother with dementia), I’m on edge these days.

 

[Lisa558]

Don't waste your hope on what I do or don't do. Worry about yourself. That's what I do, and I'm a happier person because of it.

But what other people do does impact me - when it comes to their votes. I just wish people were more informed before they cast their ballots.

I agree with this guy’s statements about people in general. To stick to the facts the discussion needs to move away from skin color and focus on individual actions and inactions.

katsteve2012 and Lisa558 could you please take your issues towards each other somewhere else as it looks like you're mostly arguing with each other and not adding much to the topic.

Then if you understand what it feels like you shouldn’t be supporting a party that is now demonizing Jews.

And as far as the future looking ominous, that’s more general - with the leftist March toward socialism and the high inflation and the evaporating IRAs. And it’s not just me. It‘s more than half the country. We have a demented man as president, an idiot as VP, and all sorts of destructive policies being pushed.

As I said, I can breathe easier after the mid-terms.

What party is demonizing Jews?

And there are no "jew-free zones."

There Are No ‘Jewish-Free’ Zones on the UC-Berkeley Campus

Misleading news reports created the false impression that pro-Israel voices are being silenced here. It’s just not true.

Whites invented the race card. That's what white racism is.

Blacks took their race card and redifined it....that's what encompasses white racism is now.

Alright everybody although I didn't call him here Meister's here now. So if there is going to be constant bickering with one another he won't be afraid to end it no matter who started it. Just a word of warning to Lisa and Steve since I like you both enough to warn you that he won't be playing with you when it comes to keeping this thread clean.

Some people (including me) feel that the answer to the thread question is: It is not their fault.

I have never forgotten someone's definition of the African American race. I have cleaned up the language in order to post it: "In the history of this world, surely African Americans are a unique group of people --totally unlike any other."

Consider:

1. Brought here on ships that were moving concentration camps.

2. Were slaves for hundreds of years and ordered to breed, breed, breed.

3. After the Civil War, de jure segregation in the South and de facto segregation in the North.

4. Finally in the 1960s, when equality finally arrived, the pent-up fury of many of them exploded in unprecedented violence.



In the next century, African Americans -- IMHO -- will not fare any better under the Hispanic majority.

Agreed, and It is my intention to keep the thread clean as well.

However, I am also a normal person who like anyone else does not like being accused of something that I did not do intentionally.

Voters for the most part vote according to their self interests.

And those self interests may differ from yours.

I don't recall my parents or grandparents wasting time worrying about or even talking to people who were against the Civil Rights Act.

They simply focused on helping register those would benefit from it.

That party has been gone for generations. I think the worst thing we did was desegregation.

Over the years I have come reluctantly to agree with you. There is often wisdom in tradition. Jim Crow legislation was based on sound instinct. No civilized country benefits from the presence of a high black population.

A country with a high black population faces an unpleasant moral dilemma. It it denies blacks equal rights it will deny them to the fairly small minority of blacks who perform and behave as well as most whites. If it grants blacks equal rights it will face the social problems the United States has faced since 1963, specifically the rise in crime and illegitimacy.

Understandable. I'm like that too and I'm an abnormal person.

No, it's not.

They're protest much, much more than just murder. They're protesting inequality. But then when the powers that be put more effort into giving you such charts and tell you what to think, instead of DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM, you know something is very, very wrong.

I know the solution is easy.

Step 1: Ask the victims of racism to write legislation that would solve the problem.

Step 2: Pass that law.

Duh! It’s easy. I have ended racism five or six hundred times this way but I have never completed step one. The anti racists never have a suggestion for laws that would solve the problem. Martin Luther King Jr.’s movement had legislation written and ready to go at a moment’s notice. This actually works at ending racism but nobody wants to give the solution. They are a carefully guarded secret. It’s almost like they are scared racism will end and they can’t sell books and other rhetorical paraphernalia anymore. Martin Luther King was fighting for actual change. These people are fighting to stay rich. They don’t want to end racism at all. Martin Luther King did. That’s what the Civil Rights movement was successful and Black Lives Matter is a pure scam that isn’t taken seriously by anyone in power.

Closing thread... isn't going to (and isn't currently) working as civil debate ...it is essentially calling out an entire group of people and broadly generalizing in a co frontational way. It sets the stage for some of the responses we are seeing and subsequent derailment.
