@hawkeye10,
You're an ass and full reasons as to why you believe Blacks haven't thrived. You're lying to yourself or living inside of the bubble that is conservatism. Tea Party reasoning and beliefs they hold onto because to face the truth would ruin their peace of mind. Blacks work very hard and are WORKING. Gobs of money are not being thrown at Blacks. Social programs, lol. are not BLACK, but WHITE. WHITE WHITE WHITE. You can use per capita, percentages, but we all know using hard numbers the primary recipients of WELFARE, MEDICAID, and FOOD STAMPS are WHITE. Sorry Booboo, but you fail.
There will always be failures in ALL ethnicities and not just the black culture. The world is waking to the lies told on blacks by American whites. The global community is realizing the shame of unfair imprisonment of blacks and not due to their behavior, but because it serves a purpose. The evil that white men do to sell a narrative that turns out not to be true.
There are 2.2 MILLION people in jail. Of them 770,000 are Black. 500,000 of them are incarcerated for non-violent personal use drug offenses.
You are selling and telling lies and being pitied for your determined blindness and denial.
Pull up the FBIs table 43 and read the criminal stats. YOUR PEOPLE LEAD THE PACK. You may live in the past and deny the truth, but you can't deny the facts. Have a good evening. The truth is emerging and you people are being rendered as equals, not very bright and no longer the protected class. Right now, not an Asian on this planet believes your are intelligent or to be trusted. THAT from your behavior, your actions, and first hand knowledge.
Stop believing that Blacks are being given some kind of handout or handup, because since Obama entered office he's made a point NOT to give to Blacks, but to focus on the middle class. We are part of the middle class, though you would seek to classify blacks as beggars. the delusion is thick in you.
