    Absolutely. It bears repeating until the left and any other racial apologists acknowledge that the permanent poverty class of urban blacks created by democrats is the root cause of their family and crime problems.

    Until then, nothing good can come of any "discussion". The real problem is being ignored.

    I can go with that. It's basically the same thing you see on the conservative side, where people have been voting for the "lesser of two evils", but ultimately not happy with what they get, and the promises they've been "winning votes" with not being kept.

    Both sides are voting for their own self-interests, which is supposed to be what the basic right of "freedom" is about. If the politicians are deceiving the electorate and not solving the problems, then that's something that needs to be addressed on all sides, not just one side (and questioning the character of the voters on that side, like the whole "they just want free stuff" and "they are SO 'problematic'" jargon, let's not forget), as people are insisting.

    First there is no group stuck in poverty. People are in poverty because they are not willing to do what it takes to get out of it.


    We do not need to be voting and waiting on government to solve our problems. The government is involved the less freedom we have. Hence the foundational principle of small government and self governance.

    Lots of folks in the Appalachians are stuck in poverty. I don't think one can attribute it all to laziness.

    Laziness is your word not mine. If you cannot make a living where you are move.
