At the risk of suffering...

[Yonivore]

Of note is that poor whites tend to show those same social pathologies.

Except, of course, for the mob violence.

Minimum wage has to rise otherwise kids with parents who are w/o education remain educated themselves throughout thier lives - having to help support family instead of being able to concentrate on academics. Like you said, it's a cycle.

Raising the minimum results in lost jobs at the end of the spectrum most likely to employ the poor.

Most white kids are given sufficient time and energy to concentrate on schooling. , a lot don't even have to do anything, they just take on their parents' investments.

I think that is a racist statement.

There are whites, and considering the ratio of whites to blacks in this country, maybe in close to equal numbers who are living in the same poverty and lack of opportunity as are blacks.

I've never been rich, there's no trust fund, and I've been gainfully employed since the age of 13.

Children of privilege, by and large, make up a very small percentage of all children, black or white.

So it all starts with increasing minimum wage, enough so that this generation of black kids who have grown up without two parents don't have to work - I've known some of these inner city kids who have held three jobs while attending school.

Gee whiz, I held two jobs and volunteered at a hospital while attending school. Big freakin' deal.

And, your assertion that inner city kids area all black is also a racist statement.

Bigot.

Increasing minimum wage wil give them ALL a chance to succeed.

Increase minimum wages and watch jobs evaporate.

i'm in a rush but i'll post more about this later

I can hardly wait.

Yeah, unless you count dragging one of "them" behind a truck.

Three guys, captured tried and convicted (two of whom received the death penalty) does not a mob make.

By the way, where was the U. S. Congressman that stood up and excused their behavior like Maxine Waters did for the L. A. Rioters when they damn near killed Reginald Denny and left him an invalid for life?

Where was the U. S. Congressman excusing their behavior as just "blowing off steam?"

White "culture," if there is such a thing, dealt with the Byrd murder. The offenders were captured, tried, convicted, and sentenced appropriately. And, even though the Left and the black community exploited the Byrd's for political reasons -- trying to force through hate-crimes legislation.

Another example of black culture fomenting an atmosphere of near violence over something that was handled already. What was that all about?

[Marcus Bryant]

Turns out the Austin attack was the work of a few. So that did not make for a "mob" either. We get it, you hate "them".

[Marcus Bryant]

You can't trust groups of whites either. Especially those who drive trucks. So violent.

[Yonivore]

It was reported there were a couple of hundred in the parking lot when the incident occurred. Maybe the rest couldn't get close enough to get their licks in, I don't know; but, they certainly didn't do anything to stop it either.

Nor are they stepping up to identify the culprits. With that many people there, someone knows who was involved in the actual beating.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, I guess that initial report was a Klansman's dream.

[Yonivore]

Yeah, I guess that initial report was a Klansman's dream.

There's been no refutation of the number of people present in the parking lot. Just a clarification of how many actually took place in the beating.

Not everyone at the intersection of Florence and Normandie beat on Reginald Denny either.

So why aren't the others -- who were not involved -- coming forward to identify those who were?

There is a threshold on wage rates above which the availability of jobs will decline, but nobody knows for sure where that is.

From what I gather from your point, that may be acceptable, because the point is to remove students at least in part from the labor pool.

By the way, I don't know of too many white kids who are living off their parents' investments. Only 1% are in that top 1%.

Because they're animals, right?

I don't know why. Isn't that the question in this thread?

I think those in the middle-class, upper-middle class and beyond benefit much more from growing up in a stable home environment, seeing what it takes firsthand to both raise a family, seeing what it takes to build a career and holding down a job, having someone on their ass about their future, etc. Given that non-white minorities are more likely to not have grown up in such an environment due to a variety of historical factors, it's not hard to see why the cycle tends to perpetuate itself.

[Marcus Bryant]

Your thread is about a made up "problem" designed to disparage all members of a particular racial group.

Well, that's your take on it. Thanks for playing.

Others, in here, were having a serious discussion.

Snitches get killed.

If the local communities were unified and able to watch out for and protect one another, they could get out from under the thumb of the thugs who run their neighborhoods.

But there is a great dearth of leadership.

[Yonivore]

Yes, you're one serious racist.

If it makes you feel better to call me a racist, have at it. I'm all torn up that an idiot like you thinks I'm a racist. How will I recover?

You've yet to address any of the legitimate questions raised in this thread though.

So, again, what's the solution?

If there's any idiot here, 'tis you.

That's because the thread is illegitimate.

[Marcus Bryant]

Why don't you lay it out? Impress us with your brilliance.

[Yonivore]

Why don't you lay it out? Impress us with your brilliance.

I don't have a solution. That's why I raised the issue to begin with.

Man, you are slow. But, it's a start that you recognize there's a problem requiring a solution.

[Marcus Bryant]

Since we are slow what's the solution? Lay it out.

[Marcus Bryant]

Come on now, tell us what should be done to those 'culturally defective' blacks, O Great Blowhard White Supremacist.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I think there's probably also a problem of trust when it comes to dealing with law enforcement
