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.

100% true. Its just not the narrative that's allowed to be voiced.

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).
