    Reparations isn't the only solution to black unemployment. Tax breaks for hiring or building black enterprise is a decent start. Hell, he gave tax breaks and outright cash payments to Solyndra type companies.

    And you can't find one right-wing Republican to support that. It's not nonsense at all. Republicans purposely opposed near every single thing that he proposed.

    If you have people saying that affirmative action is racist, what the hell would you have people saying about tax breaks for hiring black people? Please step into the realm of reality.

    What you are being overtaxed for 13 years of war. The price tag for health care for all as well as welfare benefits in my opinion is negligible and should just be paid. Say what you want about that. I would have rather invested 4-6 Tril in the people instead of spending it on unnecessary War. My cousin is in Afghanistan as we speak. My other cousin is on his fourth tour in Kuwait...

    Hundreds of bills have passed during Obama's administration. Maybe thousands.

    Nope. We paid for the wars and had money to return to the taxpayer as tax cuts.

    It was a massive increase (across the board) in Democratic Socialism programs by Bush and republicans that got us into deficits again, and Obama dialed it up to 11.

    Let people complain about the tax breaks. They won't complain about tax cuts since the money isn't needed to pay for their welfare.

    The problem is those "shovel ready jobs" weren't so ready after all.

    I will give it a go. Let us break it down one teaching moment at a time that was squandered.
    Start with Ferguson.

    The Black Kid robs a store in his neighborhood (Korean owner but...) then he is feeling big and bad walking down the middle of the street, bodacious as can be. Of course he attracts the attention of a cop. Not only can he not simply follow an order to get out of the street because that isn't bodacious, he has to step it up, attack the cop. Where did this boy learn this behavior ? Well, did you see that fellow that was standing on the truck, calling to burn the sucker down? Burn the sucker Down! That was dad (stepdad)! Ah! perhaps the learning began here and it ended with the kid, bodacious as can be, to the end, dead in the street. Riddled by gun fire from one lone, scared cop. (another story here for another day).

    How many teaching opportunities are there here for the man that has the bully pulpit and the ear of the entire Black population in the Nation?
    What did he do with it? I can't see a damn thing that was learn by anyone. The moment past again.

    Many moments have passed over the past eight years and not one was used to teach. The agendas were polished, ban guns, bad cops, poor Blacks, but no teaching.

    Our infrastructure is crumbling. If you don't know there are shovel ready jobs right now then you don't have a clue. Right as we speak our Fremont Bridge need to be replaced.

    Another media story where you've used conjecture to form your opinion.

    Newsflash about black people:

    We run.

    Away.

    We don't run toward the shooting. I know some people who have fear of us might believe some stupid shit like we'd attack a cop with a gun but what the fuck ever...

    No they weren't. Lefties say Bush squandered the surplus he was left by Clinton.

    Do the math:

    $254B surplus/year minus $100B/year cost of wars leaves $154B in surplus.

    You are right dviss, we don't need to target Black people with jobs, we need policy that allows jobs in this country. A lot of people need work.
    Vote for Trump, I do believe he will do it much better for all the folks.

    The biggest spending bill in the history of the United States government, before Obama's several that blew up the debt massively, was an infrastructure bill passed by republican congress and signed by W.

    Come on, you're way too smart not to understand that there's a correlation between these two things. Police have a job to do protecting the general population (regardless of race) from criminal activity. If you have an area of town where there's frequent black-on-black shootings because of gang activity or whatever other reason, the police are going to step up patrols and be more on alert for anything that strikes them as being off. That kid walking down the street with an Airsoft gun that looks for all the world like a real Beretta is way more likely to be treated as a threat than the kid in the 'burbs carrying the same air gun. Some guy running down the street after dark is way more likely to be treated with suspicion in a neighborhood that has frequent violence than he would be in an area of town where crime seldom occurs.

    Cops are human beings and they do a job that is sometimes dangerous. They have to make split second decisions that can result in life or death either for a citizen or themselves. Some small percentage of them are no doubt racist assholes who shouldn't be allowed to carry a badge. Most are people just trying to do the job they've been trained for well and come home safe at the end of their shift. None of them want the kind of heat that comes their way when they make a bad decision and some innocent person is injured or killed. Ratcheting down the violence in our communities, white or black, would make it much easier to avoid unwanted police violence.

    We don't agree here. I never said it wasn't needed I simply provided the reason why Obama has not produced targeted legislating. Politics. That's why. I believe in specifically targeted legislation. Same as equal pay for women.

    You gotta be fucking kidding me. I would never award my vote to that racist piece of shit.

    Actually I use the image of the gun shot wounds to form the posture of the victim when perforated.
    But Ok, I fail to communicate with you again.

    Actually I think you might be stretching the use of we here. And overlooking the teaching moment.
    Got to go.

    Just because you have more police Patrols in those areas doesn't mean that they handle the situations correctly. A man who's selling cigarettes outside of the store doesn't need to be choked to death. That had nothing to do with black on black crime. Their actions after they are there are always their responsibility. The way that they police us is complete bullshit. And you act like you've never seen video of black people getting shot that haven't done anything. The kid laquan McDonald was walking away from the police when he was shot. They could have taken him into custody. The way that police handle shit in this country is atrocious.
