In northern rural communities, where there is no big racial division, the same thing still occurs, but you recognize the divide by family names, rather than skin color. And government policy, hiding behind the fiction that it is attempting to help people, perpetuates and even encourages the problem(s).ruralcounselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193188081686431709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-71934774555865510402014-05-17T19:54:20.188-04:002014-05-17T19:54:20.188-04:00Wolfwalker:

In his version, the "chav" culture is precisely what Anonymous describes here, with Indian and Pakistani immigrants behaving as he describes Hispanics.<br /><br />As Tam said, put people in zoos, and they behave like animals. <br /><br />We're the only species that does it to itself, voluntarily.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324035824298948422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36563842409786902422014-05-17T11:27:55.129-04:002014-05-17T11:27:55.129-04:00Wolfwalker - as with the entire Internet, you are ...Wolfwalker - as with the entire Internet, you are free to believe anything you think. (I feel silly saying this, it's so obvious). My original reaction was that it must be the Onion or another satire, but was not able to find any indication. <br /><br />I take it at face value, which means it's one guy's impression of one town's situation. At face value, it's amazingly naive and that's what I chose to comment on. <br /><br />At absolute worst, I've been punked.

He doesn't see that providing for people who could provide for themselves; that paying 15 year old girls to squirt out babies like some kind of horizontal Pez dispenser; that destroying the family, and providing an income for these kids while expecting nothing of them contributes to crime problems. <br /><br />He can line up all the contributing causes to the dysfunctional communities but simply can't realize they're the causes! He simply can't see that trying to provide for people who "can care for themselves but don’t" could be the cause of that dysfunction. <br /><br />(BTW, I'm going to go trademark the phrase "paying 15 year old girls to squirt out babies like some kind of horizontal Pez dispenser" - or send it to Readers Digest's "more colorful speech" column. If they still exist.)<br /><br />Like some of you have said, I've worked with some black engineers and others whom I'd completely trust my life to. I grew up in a neighborhood where whites were in the minority (roughly 40% black, 40% Cuban and 20% white) and had no problems, but the culture was very different then. Just compare the lyrics of the Supremes song "Love Child" to a modern rap song and you'll see how completely different it is today. Thanks to "The Great Society" and liberals like that public defender. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-89376968837887627922014-05-15T17:38:20.458-04:002014-05-15T17:38:20.458-04:00+1 on Tam... sigh+1 on Tam... sighOld NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-82803868828150551582014-05-15T17:20:10.750-04:002014-05-15T17:20:10.750-04:00It has been proven again and again and again: If y...It has been proven again and again and again: If you keep people in zoos, they will act like animals.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-33757389755652445082014-05-15T07:20:50.388-04:002014-05-15T07:20:50.388-04:00You have to remember that he is dealing with a sub...You have to remember that he is dealing with a sub-set of the black population, those who are not only criminals but also dumb enough to get caught.<br /><br />You can't extrapolate from these to the general population.<br /><br />I have met supposedly educated white people who are pretty dumb - strangely these would probably be classed as 'liberal' as well.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-68909872730492306692014-05-15T00:49:33.140-04:002014-05-15T00:49:33.140-04:00I worked with and later for ablack CMSGT in the Ai...I worked with and later for ablack CMSGT in the Air Force 50 years ago. He is probably the top person who I most respected in my life. A good person and a good leader who was always giving 100%. I knew a lot of good black people in my 20 years in the AF. I'm sure there are still many good black people today but something has clearly changed. I think the problem all revolves around family i.e. births outside of marriage and lack of marriage and stable families to grow up in. And I think that the "family" problem in the black community began in the early 60's with dramatic increases in welfare. Auite simply the government destroyed black families with welfare and they did this not for alturistic reasons but to secure the black vote for the Democrat party. That is what happened to black Americans; their culture and families were destroyed for political gain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-4777640148022509412014-05-14T21:54:10.718-04:002014-05-14T21:54:10.718-04:00I read those last two sentences.
