Man dies after being shot by Atlanta police at Wendy’s drive-thru

I wrote: "A functional economic system employs everyone according to their ability, with a minimum above poverty guarantee of employment, and wages that allow for at least moderate wealth accumulation, even if frugality is necessary".

Nothing to do with Venezuela, which suffered a catastrophic loss of national income when global oil prices collapsed a couple of years after Chavez was elected

I won't be able to keep this up forever, telling you mob one at a time that the above 4 points are based on acceptance of personal responsibility, which is only half the story. Especially in impoverished areas, the models are often non existent or broken.

Fortunately I'm comfortable and not living in an impoverished area.

No doubt....IF you do those four things....for which the parental models are invaluable...

Fallacious thinking: because you did it, everyone can.

"it's the economy stupid" ...as well as parental models; but your neoliberal economy is currently being tested to breaking point as Powell is furiously printing money to stop citizens from starving to death,...or rather, to keep the Wall St. ponzi alive...

Let's see how far 'personal responsibility' can take people when high unemployment rates persist after the pandemic has passed.

The 'natives' are already getting restive, as you can see if you turn on your TV set.

 

Yeh, but add on involuntary under-employment (U6), plus those who have given up looking for work (in depressed areas), you get at least 10% unemployment in terms of full-time equivalent job numbers ...a disaster for the affected group (blacks).

 

It’s simple. Fix families, the problem goes away. It’s not debatable at this point. The evidence is too overwhelming.

You are chasing ghosts. I’ve laid out the facts. As long as you keep ignoring them nothing will change. Poor education, criminality, suicide, drug abuse, violence....all directly linked to family dynamics. An available job doesn’t do any good for someone functionally illiterate. What good is a job if the person it’s for is incarcerated for armed robbery? And suicide? Job isn’t doing a dead person any good. Nobody wants to hire someone high or violent even if they need employees.

We’ve tried that. Hasn’t helped. See above. Access to employment is worthless if you are unemployable or can survive without working. There aren’t “parents” anyway. There are sperm donors and sperm recipients.

 

No, I want to increase family values. You know a mother and a father in a household. It’s hard for a group to succeed when 3 out of 4 households are dysfunctional. School only accounts for about 10% of a persons life by the time they have reached the age of 18. When the other 90% is filled with witnessing drug use, violent crime, gang activity, domestic abuse, sex crimes, theft, death and the ever influential social media then it’s no wonder impoverished children will never succeed scholastically.

 

Cops kill twice as many unarmed whites than blacks.

 

Where's the outrage over the burning of the Wendy's? The owner of the franchise didn't deserve to have his business ruined and his livelihood take away. How about the employee's what are they going to do? Is it a big FU to them.

 

In London yesterday, RW protesters clashed violently with police over the issue of Churchill's statue being boarded up.

On the other side of the square Gandhi's statue was also boarded up. No riots there, I think.

 

The video also suggested more charter schools in minority neighborhoods which the Democrats are completely against. Hell, the teachers unions give millions and millions each year to the DNC to keep schools exactly how they are.

Over the weekend, MSNBC held a public education forum with the 2020 Democrats. Not surprisingly, former Vice President Joe Biden said he would eliminate charter schools if he is elected president in 2020.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the fiercest opponent of charter schools, with a plan that would eliminate the Federal Charter School Program and end federal funding for expansion.

 

Why was Churchill's statue boarded up. Doubt if it was going to be vandalized by the RW. Guess nobody cared about Ghandi's statue one way or the other.

 

~ Anyone can kill with their bare hands - especially if they are juiced up on amphetamines.
If someone comes into my home uninvited they get a pistol pointed at them and a chance to leave voluntarily - otherwise they will likely be carried out laying down . Never let any intruder get closer than 15 feet - armed or unarmed.

 

See how you have changed the topic? You presented a video which began with advising black students to move to white schools.

Now when I pointed out to you - and that self-satisfied fool in the video - his advice will cost the taxpayer, you are saying they should stay in the black schools and practice "personal responsibility", ignoring the fact that many parents in impoverished districts (if they stick around at all) are NOT good role models.

 

This right here!!! Thank you Sir. Agree 100%.

I want all violent criminals eliminated, regardless of their race. The safety of law-abiding, productive, taxpaying citizens and families take precedence over criminals. If a white criminal gets shot while resisting arrest or committing a crime, the community becomes safer. Same with criminals of any other race.

 

Need to get rid of the drug dealers, gang members and those that don't want to be there. NO child can learn in that environment.

 

~ I wonder what would happen if Obama's statue in South Dakota was taken down ...?

 

24x7 coverage on CNN until the cows involved are arrested, tried and made into hamburger.

 

Ding Ding Ding. We have a winner. These are my previous posts from this thread.

 

~ I would include the Asian community as well. Notice the media and "social justice" groups never mention the fact that twice as many white people are killed by police .

 

LBJ's Great Society BS policy from the 60's screwed the black family over. Oh, btw old LBJ was a SOUTHERN Democrat, surprised?

 

~ There are political science junkies that believe LBJ was the beginning of the decline of politics in our generation. They could be correct !

 

Believe? He was the beginning of the decline. Black families were so much better off before his policies killed their family values.

 

Hell, look at Biden’s policies from the 70’s. What was that phrase he used?
Did Joe Biden Say He Didn’t Want His Kids Growing Up in a ‘Racial Jungle’?

 

~ Damn good observation. Hadn't thought about that much. Someone { Candice Owens / Thomas Sowell ? } said LBJ's "war on poverty" took the pride out of being a black American. "Welfare pays people to stay poor." When you look at it that way it does indeed destroy family values.
I wonder if Johnson did it on purpose ...?

 

I refuse to believe you are this out of touch with reality. This isn't even remotely true.

If you can't be honest, everyone is wasting their time engaging you in this discussion.

You had to leave the country in order to attempt to make a point?......you have nothing.

 

The problem is that all the ability in the world means nothing when an individual - or many - fail to follow the four steps I outlined.

That's generally what teachers seem to have become, stand-ins for the models that don't exist (aka "fathers") And then we get to the big question, who exactly is responsible for kids not having fathers to grow up with?

I've said it time and again: The absolute biggest problem the Black Community has today isn't racism. It's the disintegration of the family unit.

The point I was trying to make, and maybe I should have been more obvious about it, is that I have no White Privilege that BLM says should account for where I am.
