I don't hate black men and I like Obama. Questioning his policies is a fair game. I freely admit I am prejudiced againt black men being academically successful equal to whites and Asians. Thats not hatred. Its a judgement. Right or wrong. Stats say I am right, wishful thinking says I am wrong.
Isn't it ironic that your freely admitted prejudice against black men also has the ability to prevent you from realizing that you forgot an apostrophe in "that's", "it's" and that you misspelled "against"? I guess that's some of that self-imposed academic superiority you're supposed to have just based on your skin color, right?
Concerning the incarceration of blacks: Surely w/o doubt there is a racial bias and a poverty element to black men and their numbers in prison. But IMO there is also something else at play. I would be willing to bet a real pile of dough that blacks have suffered job loss well out of proportion to other races in the loss of manufacturing overseas. Due to my above belief, they are not able to compete for higher end *high tech* jobs so they make there way to low tech crime in order to survive.
You do realize that not only are you talking to someone that was a full time METCO student all through grade school, but also a computer nerd?
Why do they sell drugs and form gangs and commit crime?
The same reason why most poor people, regardless of skin color, also turns to selling drugs.
They see it as a quick way to make lots of money when they are struggling to make ends meet for themselves or their family. Most people don't do it for the sport, for the joy of cheating the system, for laziness or any other pathetic piece of racial rhetoric you have tricked yourself into believing. Of course, someone whose dumb enough to try and claim academic superiority using a sentence with more spelling errors and grammar problems than a drug addict wouldn't realize that, now would they?
Because their old jobs on the assembly line are long long gone and they have not moved into jobs as electrical engineers and such.
As if "assembly line jobs" are the only option for reasonable employment, and is the benchmark to base their knowledge. LOL! But go on WyldBigot... carry on with your ignorance.
If black men do not seize the tool of education you can well expect the prison population to climb. We are simply warehousing men who cannot compete in the new high tech world.
Trust me, honey... I probably know more info about your own computer, how to fix it, how to operate it, troubleshoot any application, piece of internal hardware or peripheral you use on it, and then flip it to create all of the literary, business-orientated, audio, video and multimedia projects I want to make my own money than you even know ways to masturbate to a Miss USA pageant contestant. And to add insult to injury, more than 85% of the things I know about computers was SELF TAUGHT. Of course, you'd probably not even think that because I was too poor to finish college, nor do I have a piece of paper from some overpriced college or trade school that says I do.
Please, embarrass yourself further... LOL!!
Black incarceration has grown by 5 times in 20 years, directly correlating to the loss of manufacturing jobs as I postulated. A black man with a good job working the line at GM making $30/hr is not likely to steal or sell drugs. Racism is no where near as severe as it was 50 yeas ago but we have more black prisoners. It isn't racism entirely. Its also inability to compete in the new world.
Well, all bias and bullshit aside, you're now talking to someone that doesn't fit your scenario. When I freelanced, I made a LOT more than $30/hr. And even now, with the job market thinner than it was a decade ago, I make considerably less yet even I haven't turned to selling drugs. Perhaps the problem is really providing ANY kind of reasonable paying job to poor people so they can take care of themselves, instead of just providing one centralized job circulating around one trade? Ever thought of that?
Of course not... Mr. "I'm Superior To Thou even though I don't use a spell check" WyldBigot.
