Does America deserve to implode?

[Abby08]

As long as we continue to allow a handful of deranged, demented people,, to dictate the direction our country, as well as our very lives, will take.........the answer, unfortunately, is yes.

Are black Americans better off in the US in the 21st century, or back in Africa (had slavery never been a thing in North America)?

I don't think "We did you a favor" is going to fly with people that were treated like cattle for a couple of hundred of years...


I'm certainly not in favor of reparations. But I do think some favorable financial terms for housing and such are not a bad idea, things that Black people were specifically denied up until the civil rights act. But first and foremost, schools in inner cities needs to be $#@!ing fixed and the need to teach actual subject that are of value for future careers. Like math and science...

They are more a product of the current government policies. They are in place and working as designed by the left. It is going to take a special leader to break these chains and put them back on track. Post WWII, there were thriving Black owned business, entertainment, and even Communities. The Government worked very hard to break those up and bring dependency and bigotry back to those areas.

I agree that a lot of it is current Government programs but I would also add factors like drug epidemic in the black community. But also, they started off way in the back as laws were directly keeping black people from thriving in this country.

This is idiocy.

Yeah, you don't get to discount 13 percent of population...

Feel free to open your wallet.

...and more idiocy. Democrats created a welfare system designed to destroy families. Black women fell for it. Fix families and every other problem goes away.

Buddy, that's how a majority of white people became homeowners.

But welfare system is also for people that have very low IQ. Which is a significant portion of the population. And they fall into that net. They're just not capable to produce enough to survive. They hold very little value because they'll never learn not to screw up. I think it's also a matter for the family but often time, it's genetic.

Exactly! Also we need to fix the voting system stat! If we can't manage that part we will never really get to elect anyone. We need to get money out of politics. The people should be the only ones with a say not the mega wealthy. This is the reason for this mess. Our politicians are being guided by puppet masters, and we are left without representation. These mega wealthy are guiding world nations to shape the world to their design. This must stop! Our nation should not be driven by agenda but by the will of the people.

The wealthy have every right to support the candidate of their choice - the electorate only need to follow the issues more closely. But when they start deciding that hair or skin color is the issue then they'll likely have poor government, no matter how much the wealthy spend on candidates.
