Let's address the elephant in the room. There cannot be a bigger elephant. STOP BREAKING THE LAW. Law abiding people are ******* sick of it.
That is all.
That is all.
Yeah......it is never productive to anyone's argument to try and lump and entire race of people together in a negative light. Normally whatever point you are trying to make falls by the wayside. I know most people here fall on the Conservative side, including myself....but this is way beyond what I'm comfortable with. I think it's dangerous and counterproductive.
I'm actually hoping this was a late night drunk post.
I agree with DBS. Fatherless children is the major cause of societal ills today, brought about by insane government policies and programs. But it should be said that although the problem is worse in the black community, the problem does cross racial lines. But you will never see this being openly discussed in the halls of government, since they are major contributor. The other factor is lack of responsible parenting.
We shame professional athletes for everything from drugs to domestic abuse but their multiple children to multiple women is mostly overlooked and under-reported. Talk about a character flaw.
I agree. End the war on drugs. Make them all legal, and over the counter. Been saying that for years. Take everyone who has a criminal record for selling, or possession, and cleanse their record. Then what? They are all going to go back to school and become engineers? Entering the world of the drug business was a choice....and a bad one. They had others. We all do.I like this post. Finally, thanks to Trump, the Right is coming out of the closet.
Conservatives don't like Black people. Period. So rather than trying to solve problems, you want to assign blame. You whine about "law breakers" but don't want to deal with the fact that the laws aren't just.
You want lower crime? Abolish the drug war. A policy that WE KNOW (from admissions by his staff) was put in place by the Nixon administration to specifically target Blacks. And it has worked, too.
You want to reduce fatherlessness? Abolish the drug war. Locking up fathers for committing "crimes" that should never have been illegal in the first place is a great way to create fatherless children.
The Biggest Lie In Politics: Conservatives want small government. They do not. They want big, expensive, intrusive government designed to control personal choice. That's why they appose gay marriage, favor vice laws, and want to invade everyone under the sun. The war on drugs is the biggest and worst of all the "failed big government programs", but the Right supports it whole-heartedly. And when Blacks get caught in the trap that was set for them, you then turn around and say "see, it's all the n-gg-rs fault!" How about you try being solution oriented for a change.
The war on drugs CREATES CRIME. It creates violent crime in the form of robberies to get dope, gang wars to protect territories for dope, and cartel wars to settle regional disputes over dope. And we haven't even mentioned all the property crime it creates because prohibition drives up the cost of dope. When was the last time you heard of a whino stealing to get drunk? It don't happen because he can beg for enough change to get his fix.
I don't blame white people for the war on drugs. That would be just as racist as blaming Black people for crime. I blame crooked politicians and a dishonest media for lying to the American public. Convincing them that authoritarianism would make them safer. It hasn't. There are solutions to the crime problem. But you're not going to find them by turning it into a race issue.

And thanks for lumping all conservatives in one bucket, just like you accused others of the same.

But let's be honest, drug crimes are only about a third of the issue. Armed robbery, home invasion, Assalt and battery, ADW, Grand theft auto, and burglary .
There's also reverse racism.

You're right black people can't be engineers, or cops, or teachers, or even plumbers .............they should have just used their privilege and gone to school right?............................................................................it had to be a choice, yeah an involuntary one.
