    I guess we'd have to define what is poor.
    Once a person starts sinking personal money into a business, or starts taking out loans to get business going, they are essentially poor.
    Sure, not broke, but most all $$$ are getting stuck into the business to get it some legs.

    Not 200 yrs ago, but for near 200yrs, every day of every year.

    How have you personally been punished? I suspect your being emotional.

    So if the discrimination doesn't personally affect us then we shouldn't care?

    Tell me again about this discrimination for nearly 200 years and why I should care since it didn't affect me... or you for that matter.

    Right but we're still talking about people who are capable of getting loans in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars most of the time. The same people who get demonized as being "rich". So no, you don't now get to lump them in as being poor because it supports your argument.

    You shouldn't care.
    Just like the AA is not affecting you.

    I wish we knew how to do that

    But if there is a solution centered on government none of the political quacks in washington know what it is

    That might explain why we cant all drive a rolls royce and live in marthas vinyard but it does not explain extreme poverty in the ghetto

    How can you blame warren buffett or bill gates when a woman drops out of school at 14 and has numerous children before she’s 30?

    Why is it any rich persons fault for drug abuse or alcoholism or criminsl activity that leads to jail and a police record?

    The lazy people are the ones who are able bodied yet parked on welfare because they refuse to do the jobs that illegal aliens from mexico are willing to do

    In part because too many jobs were exported to china and too many illegal sliens have been allowed in the country

    That's like saying the fattest americans have most of the fat.

    Can't get fat if you don't eat a whole lot of fatty food.

    If you want some of that money, try producing more. Until then... well, you'll have to do with not being a member of the richest Americans.

    Good I’m glad that 88% of the population shouldn’t care about slavery or the institutionalized discrimination against blacks for the past 200 years since it didn’t affect them.

    So we agree. Policy predicated upon addressing said discrimination should end.

    Yes actually I can. Insofar as anyone can predict the future. AA is in its death throes.

    I’m glad you have such confidence in a 6-3 conservative majority on the SCOTUS. though I think it might be misplaced.

    Lol here’s another prediction for you. Neither Ginsberg OR the 80year old Breyer will survive past trumps time as president.

    He will turn the SCOTUS 7-2 conservative. Then your liberal policies will fall like the house of cards it is. Get ready

    You bank on that dream. I’ll base mine upon logic. We will see who is right.

    *shrug* one thing you liberals are good at is living a life of delusion. I don’t anticipate this conversation will change that. We already have a 5-4 majority technically. Ginsberg is what? 84 or 85? Breyer is what? 80 or 81?

    You better PRAY they make it through his two terms.

    A SCOTUS heavily favoring EITHER side is not good.

    Maybe but if given the opportunity the liberals would summarily remove every conservative justice off the scotus and load it with hyper-partisans. So when the conservatives have the opportunity they have to put their people on.

    Why? Then we’d have Pence. And I’d like his choice for SCOTUS even better because he’d likely nominate William Pryor. And if you want to see liberal heads explode, let Pryor get in the SCOTUS lol
