    Nobody wants kids growing up the way they are in these cities we just differ on hopw to address the problem. Therefore we are hated and to alarge extent hate back
    What has been done in past years, which is why no progress has been made IMO, that there is a difference between handing someone all the tools without telling them how to use them, and the opportunity to learn how to use them.

    Throwing money at the situation does nothing to actually provide access to opportunities. A number of groups try, but the lack of support and access makes the flounder and fail.

    But continuing to limit an idea by skin color is going to allow those who need help to be used as weapons and tools, again and again and again.

    There is no easy answer. Just answers most people aren't willing to give.

    Good stuff however specifically I was referring to who really needs mail in voting? who can't pull off voting on November 3rd? We keep hearing about the "voter supression" but it simply ain't that hard to vote so exactly who does the DNC think needs their help to pull vote.

    I've thrown it out there a number of times, and haven't gotten a single response.

    If someone thinks there is 'suppression', or people are being prevented from voting because they can't get an ID, then offer yourself (generic) up to take people to the DMV for an ID, offer to drive groups to the polling places. Do something other than saying 'they can't', because saying that, IS the suppression....

    Me, actually. I'm disabled and can't stand long enough to wait in line and cast my vote in person.
