Default Straight out of Compton

Hillary took her campaign today to a Compton, California, black baptist church, where she mercifully didn't entertain everyone with her fake black accent (and yew no whut ah'm talkin' about ), but did she say that the poverty blacks are in is the result to "injustice".

Here's a thought I have had when I hear that typical pandering - are liberal democrats holding poor blacks down, by lying to them that their situation is due to "injustice", rather than their own behavior?

No, they've let poor blacks down by teaching them that government is their saviour.

not if the libs believe it!

seriously, though, no. there is injustice for minorities (especially blacks). your undeserved focus on all things black is evidence of this just within the forum.

As one of the most frequent posters here, my posts cover a very wide range of topics. And what you misread as a focus on blacks is actually focus on the machinations of liberals with their favorite clients.

Actually I saw this and thought it was a good move. While Obama is off hyping Nevada she takes a side trip into California which she is very likely to win.

Its kinda a reminder IMO to Obama that yeah even if you squeek out a win in Nevada there alot of country left..and its mine precious



+she brings up the race subject without bringing up the race subject. After the Truce qwith Obama!~! Whata sneaky lil devil

No actually, we all know that YOU are obsessed with the idea that I'm obsessed with blacks. Lose your obsession - you can if you try - we're all pulling for you. And the name comes from my incisive posts.

Actually, I find it hard to argue with her on some levels. If you were to spend time in Compton, and I have, one thing you would notice is that the schools are in abysmal shape and kids in no way receive the sort of quality education that any American needs to succeed these days.

Pray tell, what would you call it, other than injustice? As long as young people are growing up in communities surrounded by crime and depredation, where the local police department has a marked history of racism and mistreatment of minorities, and where the schools are markedly worse than in surrounding areas, do you actually think that young people from those communities have a fair shot at succeeding in life?

IS the playing field equal for a kid who is growing up in Compton, California?

I'm not going to say that it's purely an outside condition imposed on poor blacks by others. Certainly the black community bears responsibility in the realm of parenting, neighborhood values/norms, etc. BUT...are the residents of that community responsible for the fact that schools are significantly lower in quality than schools in other areas within the SAME SCHOOL DISTRICT?

That seems like injustice to me. And, I wouldn't call it pandering, per se, because it should be changed. In a just society, every kid would AT LEAST have the chance to attend a high quality school.

Well, actually, not all of them. Which was Catz's point. While Americans are pretty (*)(*)(*)(*) stupid in general, there are lots of well funded, well run, schools. But none of them are in Compton.
