It’s not that black people can’t get ahead in America… its that on average they face more hurdles.

The first and foremost being the level of responsibility their parents provided in guiding them into adulthood…

Why do you think black parents aren’t teaching their children to be responsible to the same “level” as all other races?

[DougBH]

Did you see that 75 year old black guy the cops pushed down just because he got in front of them?

Oh, wait…

Doesn’t fit story.

The English language has more words than any other.
More combinations, though the outcom searched for; or manufactured, depends upon it’s usage be it for dialectical or rhetorical ends, myself the former than the latter.
The english lanuage is man’s best vehicle for advancement.
Of it we should be proud, and use it more often to solve complex problems.
Hurtle?

This isn’t a black, white or any other color issue. It’s about the same two people that created a child, nurturing, teaching, providing for and guiding that child into adulthood. When this does not happen, it leads to a more negative outcome for the child’s life. This is happening more today than at any time in our nation’s history and the dramatic increase in youth violence is just one of the outcomes of this fact.

There are nut cases everywhere, and yes even in all forms of religion too. The whole live rattle snake service, I gotta’ admit I think is weird.
Everything else is pretty familiar though, except for the dealy freaked out killer snake.

Except there is no increase in crime, or police killing black people either. Google the number of unarmed black people killed by cops, by year and see it has dramatically decreased.

That is definitely true for sure. It would hard to find overtly racist comments made by him but he never missed an opportunity to jump in to pour gas and fan the flames when the high profile cases came up he could “use” for his own purposes

He sure didn’t miss an opportunity did he?!

Wasn’t it 35 in 2015 and 10 last year??

So if its not a “color” issue, does it effect all races evenly? Are you criticizing bad parenting in general or single parent households?

[WildRose]

And when you look into those cases at least 8 of them were completely justified.

There’s a ninth where the officer was indicted but I don’t think it’s going anywhere.

[WildRose]

No, it doesn’t affect all races equally. In order of prevalence, Black, Latino, then white with Asians a distant fourth.

Yes…the choice one is allowed to choose from is even but the choices made are not. It ALWAYS takes two to create a child and the ideal situation in nurturing this child into adulthood consists of two loving parents united in that goal. When that does not happen, the probability for a positive outcome for this child is reduced.

Why is that?

The Black Lives Matter movement was hijack by extremists says the founder.

I agree a two parent household is preferable, but I don’t think drawing causation here is a slam dunk. I don’t see how being a single parent vs two-parent household equates to teaching responsibility. You can have single parents that are excellent teachers and you can have two parents that are both terrible at it. I believe a bigger factor on the success of single parent households is income and support from extended family. For example some children of single parents may have a relative to helps take care of them. And parents with more money can also pay for child-care, extended-day, that sort of stuff vs having a latch key kid on their own while there parent is still at work. There can also be situations like I was raised in where my parents divorced with I was a baby, but from like the age of 6-13 my mother cohabited with her boyfriend and he helped a lot with watching me and my brother.

But this is about blacks vs other races and those hurdles that seem to disproportionately effect blacks can have a clear effect on what was discussed above… in particular income and single parent households that happened because a parent is in prison.

I didn’t say it was but it explains a hell of a lot more than…your last pathetic excuse.

Does Captain David Dorn’s life matter? Is David Dorn’s life on par with George Floyd? David Dorn dedicated his life, to turning around the lives of those that had gone astray.

One is a black man with a criminal history, that was senselessly murdered by a white police officer? One is a police officer, senselessly murdered by a black looter. Why is so much more emphasis placed on one life, over the other? Do black lives truly matter or only when it can be politicized?

[TheRedComet]

Good two parent households are ultimately more stable than single parent households. Now I would pick one nice but stern parent over two ■■■■■■ parents who abuse their kid. But ultimately, a stable home with two kind, but stern, parents is the best option.

Also, boys need special rearing and attention from men compared to girls because of the two sexes we tend to be more prone to violence and illogical behavior when we are not properly taught how to be men. Look at the violent male prison population. The vast majority had no stable father figure in their lives.

Oftentimes, single parent means single mother. And no offense to any single moms, they work hard and try their best, they simply don’t have everything a young boy needs. Boys need a good instructive male figure to emulate.

It doesn’t really matter if it’s the biological father or not. I’d say it’s preferable of course, but as long as there is a stable father figure there for them to emulate and learn from their chances of turning into good productive citizens are raised dramatically.

Church of hate? Fire and brimstone preachers regularly say God will damn America for xyz. Have you ever been to a Southern church?

Yes, never heard it in anything but an individual context.
