So when is this "Honest" discussion regarding race relations goint to occur?

[KingOrfeo]

If this is true, why is it that there is always so much talk about racially motivated "hate crimes"?

Because those are a different matter, and also exist.

Pookie thinks this is civilized behavior. She thinks barbarism is too strong a word for those who rob, burn, and pillage their own community.

Shut up and just give me the answer I know far more than you think I know. And I know that sentence is bullshit. Crime comes from the moral deficiency of an individual, but it definitely skyrockets when there is poverty. And this is a fact all around the globe. I study ethnography and I also look the fuck around.

Show us your tits.

Can you guys stop being chauvinistic and just answer the question. And vetteman, stop being immature. You take the time out to respond to me and contribute nothing (shocker) while you say I'm not worth responding to? *scratches head* The ignorant one is clearly you. You're going to die this way

Bullshit, Pookie. Looks to me like South Carolina is spending all it can spend on education based on revenues:

Bullshit my ass. Look harder.

COLUMBIA, SC*— In a legal decision that could redefine South Carolina’s public education system, the S.C. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the state has failed in its duty to provide what it says is a “minimally adequate” education to children in the state’s poorest school districts.

The 3-2 ruling in Abbeville County School District v. State of South Carolina reverberated across the political landscape and promised to provoke renewed legislative arguments over the state’s controversial education funding formulas and the financial plight of poor, rural districts, whose superintendents joined together years ago to seek more equitable funding.

...

While the poor, rural districts bear some responsibility for their chronically low academic performance, the court stated: “Nevertheless, it is the Defendants who must take the principal initiative, as they bear the burden articulated by our state’s Constitution, and have failed in their constitutional duty to ensure that students in the Plaintiff Districts receive the requisite educational opportunity.”

And it isn't' any gawd damn liberals that are responsible for the problems here.

Well, when a young black high school girl in a black neighborhood gets beat to death for even thinking to go for college or do well in school because she's "not black enough"... I guess I am saying they are responsible for their own fate.

Damn straight...

Their skin color is why they have been subjected to this subtle oppression

Subjected to by who?

but it is not why they cannot succeed or continue to fail.

Oh I totally agree...the problem is they do. At least a large portion of the black community, their skin color is EVERYTHING. From their identity to their go-to scapegoat it's all because they are black.

The attorney for Michael Brown's family said this:

“The system needs to be indicted,” Crump added. “This system is completely unfair to the citizens, especially African-American and minority citizens, when you have police-involved shootings. This system, over and over again, exonerates police officers for killing young people of color.”

He forgot to mention there were black witnesses and members of the grand jury.

The man is scum.

Yep, how dare he question the obvious injustice.

So tell me Miles, if you're child was shot by a cop, and there were no photos taken at the scene because the camera battery died, would you be OK with that?

I of course don't expect a coward like you to answer this, but instead tell me how I am on ignore, or call me Rob.

Must be an awful life to be on stuck as stupid as you are.

 

[Kitty]

Why should I reply respectfully to your personal attacks?

Look who's playing victim now? See how it works when it's convenient. You never took anything I said respectfully since I first posted in the Brown thread.

 

[patient1]

It isn't white America raising felons on every block in the black community.

This strikes me as being a particularly prejudiced sweeping generalization.

If you are still being truthful and factual, can you provide a citation for this premise?

 

[Busybody]

You again. What do you care about the harms in the black community? Stop it

we care

cause it impacts US, the GOOD people

Still waiting for Ishmael to provide the thread with some of those "other" impoverished communities that don't have crime....

You're full of shit because you don't know shit. Tell us why during the Great Depression, during the 40s, 50s, the black communities in America were in much more poverty, but the crime rates were only a fraction of what they are today, the illegitimacy rate was nothing like it is today? I know the answer, do you?

Obola?

Holder?

Sharpton?

Jackson?

All the above?

Oh a quiz. You still fail to see that textbook smarts and common sense are NOT the same thing, genius. But I'll play along

When the economy crashed, and people had to work lower income jobs, of course during the years of Jim Crowe black people would not be hired before a poor, downtrodden white. Is that the answer you were looking for Professor? Are we going to fuck after class now?

But if you are alluding to some racist theory (as per usual) you've lost me.

What I don't get is fucking up your own neighborhood. If you must riot, do it in one of the nicer areas.
