Yes we can't have black people making equal money now can we

@Angel0fTruth the difference is opportunity and livable wages between the races, when intercity kids see sports, music,drug dealing or crime as a way out then we will always have problems

@Angel0fTruth opportunity and home life play a larger role, if all you see as a child is the only ones that have things are the dealers and criminals and there is no one there to get off to school or make sure you have enough to eat then the streets will eat you. I don't know if you had a stable childhood but those without one have very slight odds on a good adulthood. Where you end up is often about where you start

@Angel0fTruth agree wholeheartedly, I believe one of the reason people turn to drugs and alcohol is not just to escape reality but is the lack of hopefulness of a future where opportunities are there for them just livable wages where they aren't too worn out or completely absent to care for kids, 2nd mental health care facilities are almost nonexistent unless you have money 3rd absent fathers the culture of poorer people is many times no father in daily picture and it goes for generations perhaps it is like you said community centers from very young ages with good male role models. I am glad to hear you are not one to say the poor and downtrodden want to be that way or are lazy rather one to say let's look for answers. One of my biggest beefs with some peoples conservative views is the thinking that poor people are not worthy of a hand up and are poor by their own making, we need more people like you

@Angel0fTruth lol, well I believe you are a thinker and a good person

@Angel0fTruth so true, I have friends that from a very early age it was clear to me that born male but in all other aspects were girls and Visa versa. I honestly believe that some people are misfortune enough to be born with the wrong parts and are born gay that it isn't a choice just a quirk in nature. While other I believe do chose, but just an opinion, take care my friend

@scsc9311 yes I agree NYC was crime ridden in the 70s and 80s. I also agree that a stable home life and family is the key, but what is the answer there are far to many kids with no one looking out for them. We can't turn our backs on them because without hope or people that look out for them the streets get them. Also I believe your numbers are skewed on the percentages and I don't believe it matters much if which party is in office we have to find a way to get these kids guidance and a chance

Twist the truth till it breaks

@shericontrary2535 that's not what original post said, but as to your comment how much percentage gain?

@shericontrary2535 that's not bad, not all Trump did was bad, I just wish he had denounced white supremacists when given the chance in the first debate, but he couldn't because he didn't want to lose this portion of his base and he should have most certainly denounced Q now we are in a mess with high tension anger. Thank you for your information

@shericontrary2535 while I agree the media can twist things but in the first debate which I watch all the way through was a disaster because he refused to denounce white supremacists when asked directly this very question and he chose to say stand back and stand by. And when given a chance denounce it when a girl was killed by a white supremacist that ran his car into a rally against racism long before the riots he say there are good people on both sides. I understand if you support Trump but there are many instances were he was completely wrong and not one of his supporters will say he was wrong. I have no problem calling Biden out when he is wrong or I disagree but never amongst the Trump supporters

@shericontrary2535 thank you, you are one of a kind and open minded
