This is America, white,black brown or green we need to be treated the same. But lets face it we need to act like we deserve to be treated as well. I believe the Dem party has helped put blacks in a hole but we can get them out of it and on there way to a decent life. Before Obama things were better for blacks than they are now. It would be terrible to not be able to get a job and try and take care of your own family. America right now is so corrupt we really should give a non politician a chance. Vote Trump I may align more with GOP ideas but most of them are so far right they could not get elected and most of them are corrupt also.
Can I vote in this poll? I'm both and neither half of me seems to be treated differently than the other.
There is a widespread belief that race is a major explanation for how LEOs treat people when responding to possible crimes. This belief is anchored in the large disparity in crime rates and the % of people in prison between whites and blacks. However, a closer look at the data shows that the real variable is not race but family structure and all that it implies in commitment and love between adults. State-by-state analysis by Heritage scholars indicates that a 10 percent increase in the percentage of children living in single-parent homes leads typically to a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime. Over the past thirty years, the rise in violent crime parallels the rise in single parent families. 35% of all homes nationally are now single parent homes. The national average for whites is only 25%. The national average for blacks has been floating between 66 and 67%, almost twice the national average. Asians, only 16-17%. Mexicans, 42%. Native Americans 52-53% Source http://datacenter.kidscount.org/dat...69,36,868,867,133/10,11,9,12,1,185,13/432,431 The best place to start to fix the problems the Black people are having with such high crime rates is from within, rebuild the families. Start building stronger black family units and support systems.
It's legitimate question that was ORIGINALLY asked by Jane Elliot. Not answering says MUCH more about you @oldfisherman than I.
In most respects no. In some respects yes. But imo if i were to be a person of color, id prefer to be asian or asian-indian, instead of black or latino. If i was being completely honest.
I don't do things for people to like me. So I could really care less if you do. The question was to help gain perspective. It's all I've ever done. Some of you simply don't want to have your epiphany. You come with stats and other bullshit to simply avoid admitting that we are treated less than. It's pretty shameful. Saying I have some obsession simply avoids answering the question. Which really was an honest one.
Bullshit, You do not know me, or, how I have been treated by the police and the system. All you are doing is driving more wedges between people.
And newsflash: You do exactly what we don't need and what most people of privilege do. Whitesplaining what we need to do to change our communities. We ALREADY KNOW this shit. Jim Crow ended in 65'. So you expect the people that have been running the race in lead boots to be as fast as those with the 400 year head start. You expect the lion that's been caged for hundreds of years to know how to hunt once they've been "freed". I don't have an obsession. This country has a fucking problem. And it's a problem that you don't want to be a part of fixing. What's the ONLY way to fix a problem? Acknowledge that it exists. But you won't even do that...
You'd never have sex in America. You'd end up with the scraps after the 35 year old women are used up by the blacks and Latinos from 16 to 34. THE PROBLEM EXISTS PEOPLE.
