is this you?
BTW, I don't claim to have any answers really. I'm probably not as smart as I think I am. That being said, there's a case to be made to dive underneath the symptoms and examine the roots. I believe that a big player in the foundation is structural/ins utional racism. Racism may not be the proper descriptor, but it's the only one I can come up with.
is this you?
Jimmy The Greek waves his testicles at you!
On twitter? Oh no.
My profile has a pic of me and my tactical accordion. I'm sportin' a Remus.
Bull . His initial, typically emotional response, reasoned perpetual poverty because of government handouts. TB called him on it and he added a few things in his response to me so he didn't look like a complete moron.

Page 11:
"In 2008 the offending rate for blacks (24.7 offenders per 100,000) was 7 times higher than the rate for whites (3.4 offenders per 100,000)"
I wish there WAS an answer.
At this point I fear it is a self-perpetuating snowball rolling downhill.
We call this self-examination. It's a good thing, Push.
Not at all, as it was only one thing among others listed.
No, I'm fine with where TB is taking this. Some teaching is going on here and you are the student.
There's always an answer....unless you're going to go boutons and be ed and un able.
Are you saying it is not a factor?
You are a ing idiot.
Yeah, I've noticed it takes a white person to school a white person on stuff like this to make a dent. Problem is that not many whites wants to take that type of stance.
This is the typical response towards a black person on topics like this.
Dude, if I'm teaching, we're ed.
And you make a good point, obliquely at least. The solution can not be dictated nor solved by a person. The problems certainly weren't caused by a single person.
That little kunt is just an ankle biter. He is incapable of forming his own articulate position and defending it.
I think more do. I also don't think many really know how to get into a discussion like this and be productive with it yet. Seriously. Inertia is weird.
Youre right . TSA is a very emotional poster whose initial responses are crafted without a lick of critical thought.
CC, where are you getting this "the man is keeping us down" angle? i do agree with uncle tey that ins utional and systematic racism is the root of the problem. seems like no matter where you go in the world, the darker your skin the more likely you are to be oppressed or poor, true story.
He thinks he's got me pegged as some gun toting racist. Gun loving sure. Racist, never.
