Shocker.

That was a cheap shot if I ever saw one.

Nope, you earned it.

I honestly dont think that black people take the high road when they march in support of Trayvon Martin or riot in support of Michael Brown. I never said that was all black people, nut it appears to be the majority of them.

You earned it with dumbass comments like this that have nothing to do with the OP, and have been addressed and refuted by me, personally, as a black man living in Missouri.

Not to mention your continuing obsession with black threads on this board. It's obvious to everyone but you that you have an axe to grind.

The majority of blacks marched or rioted? You want to try that again.

Honestly, the saddest thing is that you don't even get, that you don't get it it.

There's about 400,000 black people in St. Louis city and county combined. Just for clarification.

I just want to be sure of where all the white wimmen are at. And the black wimmenz....and tAsians, and las latina chicas....

Yeah, and wifey and I plan to contribute to that general transformation when we start makin' babies

Still gettin' some practice in for the time being

In all seriousness, how can a white guy get behind this movement?

More to the point, I'm tired of inner city kids showing up in my wife's ER with GSWs and no place to live. How do I discuss how disturbing this is and how fed up I am with the policies that contributed to this without being branded a racist prick by a bunch of poverty and race pimps who disagree with my opinions?

Sad, but true. It's is absolute bullshite. A white man can give to charity and volunteer every hour of free time he can to charitable causes, but he's considered a heartless jerk and probably racist if he happens to notice that our welfare state has destroyed the inner city family unit and our craptastic public schools are keeping entire generations stuck in poverty.

This is not a black problem. This is an American problem that impacts every last one of us. We all have a vested interest in the productivity, safety, and education of America's youth....shutting down people for discussing solutions to these problems just because they are white or conservative thinking is nonsensical and cruel.

There's a reason black males have higher dropout rates, higher rates of homelessness, and higher incarceration rates. We can address these symptoms and not really accomplish anything or we can roll up our sleeves and discuss why this is happening. It's very clear that modern race and poverty pimps want none of that discussion. They are totally content screwing over their own people.

Assholes like Sharpton and Jackson are not real civil rights leaders so long as they are Democrats first and black men second. Shame on them for being sellouts.

The solution is accessible to anyone. The problem, as you have identified it, has spread to all races and creeds.

Trailer parks or housing projects, black, white, brown, yellow or other - poverty, drugs, crime, illegitimacy, illiteracy, rinse, repeat.

One can't avoid poverty, but you can choose to (hokey, freakin' Nancy Reagan as it sounds), stay in school, stay off drugs, avoid criminal activity - and there's a 90 something percent chance you'll do all right.

There are few things in life, even being born very wealthy, that are going to give you 90%+ positive outcomes.

But's it is a long process. And hard. (I know, TWSS).
