    It has always been about power, power accumulated by those that try to control the narrative.

    I keep seeing this BS over and over. The US has the highest poverty rates in the OECD, and black rates double that of whites.

    Guess what. criminality is associated with poverty....and so no surprise the US has the highest prison population in the world as well.

    Poverty in the US consist of owning large flat screen TVs, smart phones, and hopped up cars. You can't force groups to be successful. They've shown promise in no country in the world. Here we've spent trillions to help and it's only gotten worse. There is only so much you can do before you accept the truth.

    Let them try and fail in their efforts. No individual can successfully hold their breath to the point of passing out or dying, so the endeavor is doomed to fail from the moment it began.

    I wait them out knowing sooner or later they will give that dumb maneuver up while my answer remains the same as before.

    Awhile back I saw an amazing thing in a fast food place, a family with a few children where sitting at a table and one of the children was being an arse, he would suck a little bit of his drink pull out the straw and spray his sister, mom told him to stop doing that, he did it again, dad got up walked tot he other side of the table picked up the child's drink and dropped it in the trash, the child started crying, dad sat down told the child to shut up and finish his lunch or it would go in the trash and he would go hungry.

    The child looked at his tray and began stuffing his lunch down, it went slow with no drink but I am sure he learned a lesson that day and doesn't spray a drink at his sister anymore.

    On my way out I stopped by the table and commented to the father that he is a real good father, because he doesn't let his children act foolishly and that no really means no and instead of giving the child a smack on the butt you did something that really sunk in, I looked at the boy and asked if he was ever going to be foolish with a drink again, his answer was no, dad barked at him "what did you just say," the child reworded his answer to no sir I will never do that again.

    I was clear to me he required his children address strangers as sir or mam.

    When I lived in Broward I never heard those words coming out of a childs mouth, but around here it's the norm.

    I would like to know why you think blacks have higher poverty rates, incarceration rates, and lower employment.

    Nobody ever wants to talk about that.

    I'm going to lock you in a room with a drunk angry man, hand them a taser, give you a gun and ask you to detain them.

    Bet your Monday morning quarterback mentality changes.

    It's up to the mayors and governors of the mega cities to do a better job attracting more and better jobs to their cities.

    The problem is who would want to work there and be taxed out of business in the process.

    Get rid of the poverty rates double that of whites, incarceration rates 7 times that of whites, unemployment rates double that of whites...

    Poverty and crime are positively correlated.

    So the first argument in the video is basically - all the kids in the poorly funded 'black schools' should move to well funded white schools?
    ...….presumably leaving behind all those empty slum schools and overcrowding all the previously well funded white schools...but where do the extra funds come from to support the overcrowded formerly well funded white schools?

    He failed at the first step.

    So, pay people NOT to be leeches on society?

    Don't ask them to contribute, but rather just give them money so they don't cause problems.

    You can't force people to work and make a living (the only way out of poverty).

    ~ No thanks. People are responsible for themselves - as well they should be. Most poor folks are white and most don't end up in jail. If a certain culture wants to embrace victimhood and not take responsibility for themselves and their family the USA is not responsible. Everyone has opportunity in America -whether they believe it or not .

    Yes and I have a suspicion that this is also happening in these big cities, there are few decent jobs that people with only a HS diploma can get (see lack of manufacturing jobs) AND I'd be willing to bet that black people in general are less likely than other races to have college degrees so the lack of decent jobs hits them even harder. All that is on those mayors to do a better job

    This guy as you put it struggled with officers, took their phaser and pointed it at them. Bang you're dead and rightfully so.

    He had, black unemployment was at historic lows. Then governors started closing businesses. This was not about "jobs frustration" this was about another black male resisting arrest and forcing a use of force against him and getting himself killed.

    And then typically the black mob burns down someone who had NOTHING to do with it property. I wonder if they managed to loot it first. And of course the officer has received no due process and I'm sure will be called a murderer and the lynch mob will be calling for his head.

    Please to everyone, take your night in the drunk tank and live the next day, it is far better to wake up in your own vomit on a nasty floor (like I have) than die, and thank the police officer for arresting you (like I did): do not resist arrest, do not toss the officers, do not punch the officers, do not take the officer’s weapon, and certainly do not point the weapon at the police.

    So if someone has a flat screen TV and a smartphone that means that are not living in poverty. You can definitely hinder groups from being successful, what promise have black folks not shown? What trillions have been spent to help? Answer some of these questions to help me understand your so called truth.

    I never had to physically discipline my children. When discipline was required and I issued a threat of punishment (usually removing a privilege of trust) I always carried through. From an early age, the loss of my trust was something neither girl seemed to take lightly; I gave it far easier that was required to earn it back if suspended.

    Since that trend had been started years before he was in office, is he really responsible for that or has the trend continued and you guys just give him credit for something he is not really responsible for.

    So his only option was to shoot him in the back.

    That is definitely the unfortunate part, but the bigger problem is that black folks have watched for decades or centuries of police unjustly killing black folks and never being brought to the Bar of Justice for it.
