Why have so many made it out of the ghettos while others never do? What separates them? Life ain't fair, you can either B word and moan and not try to raise yourself out of poverty, blaming everyone but yourself for your failure, or work hard, get an education, study. Make something of yourself. Nawwww......much easier to sell drugs and live the gang life. They know they have allies in the democratic party to make excuses for them. So, I was born in the 60's to a family that had jobs, a nice income, savings, lived in a good neighborhood and I was surrounded by books. My family had been allowed to get educated, get a job, move up in the world etc. A baby born the to black parents that same year probably could not say that. That kids family might not even have been allowed to vote. Banks wouldn't give them loans, they lived in poverty, crowded into neighborhoods where police looked upon them as criminals. Their families had literally not been allowed to read in the past and some of that sticks in families, which is too bad. Now who is going to have a better shot at a successful life? History is important. Mitt Romney's family made their wealth over a hundred years ago and he is super wealthy. Bush family, same. It's easy to say, oh well, work hard, but having resources, support, role models, etc, is important Oh, and BTW, many, many black people have escaped poverty and moved up, but not everyone has been so lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not want to examine actual facts about violent crime in black communities, if you do not want to honestly evaluate the impact of that violent crime on the communities and the nature of policing, If you are more interested in assessing blame in simplistic ways than in open dialogue about the issue, then it really isn't a leap at all to reach the conclusion that you don't really care...

They were drawn there by policies that enabled them to live without working. Section 8 housing Welfare incremental increases based on number of children Food Stamps All well intentioned programs that have had a net negative effect. Provide sufficient incentive to not get a job/skill and you become dependent on government hand outs. The cycle continues when Democrats continue to promise more of the same and you have a voting block that gives you 90+% of their votes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the great migration of blacks to the north well predated the Great Society and was accomplished because jobs were available.

Trouble is that Chicago is a sanctuary city with over 100K illegal immigrants living and working there making jobs for those in the poorer neighborhoods much much harder to obtain. Mayor after Dem mayor though won't touch that and they continue to toe the party line while Chicago residents continue to elect mayors from the same pool of stooges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
