I corrected myself around a hour before you made that post. Penal - Penile, theirs a correlation there.
I would agree about the drug offenses - However they shouldn't be doing drugs to begin with, I understand that they break the laws, but drugs are drugs. Like playing a game of risk - sooner or later it's going to catch up. That doesn't mean I disagree about the punishments - I feel they should be re-habituated in a drug rehab program, or just probation. Doing hard labor for a joint and costing tax payers upwards of half a million is ludacris.
When it comes to taking out loans - Okay. It's not something I ever think about or care for, if you want to protest against Wells Fargo more power to you.
You tell me black people aren't living in white neighborhoods - but yet I know atleast 5 black houses in the suburb I'm living in. I hold firm that they have equal opportunity, it's against the law otherwise. All ethnicity's do and there is a sub-conscious mental block that's been instilled by victim mentality, you were born like everyone else with the same opportunity it's up to you how you'll utilize it. You won't get far by asking for handouts though. If Wells Fargo breaks the law, SUE THEM. If somebody treats you unequal or breaks the law, SUE THEM. What is the average white person suppose to say? "yeah, here. take half my income, my home, and my girlfriend" ? Really ?
For every statistic you give me, I could 9 times out of 10 find a counter one on the internet. I'm not impressed by it, shit happens to blacks and whites. By sounding like Malcolm X - asserting this view that modern black people in the 21st century are lesser than whites - this is just absurd. I've never seen it with my own eyes - I can read about it, but that's not what I grew up with. Not every single urban area will be like a suburban area. Things are the way they are for reasons - It would be nice if everybody lived in peace and harmony, and the urban areas were just as prosperous and nice as the other areas.. but that's unlikely to happen.
Doesn't self-segregation already take place? It doesn't haveto be institutionalized. For instance I enjoy speaking with culturally diverse people, being that I'm white it is interesting to hear what their views are. However that doesn't mean they're completely true, it's nice hearing a different perspective.
They aren't activists, they're snakes who say one thing and do another. Never critical about the real problems, but placing blame on everybody else. That's why poverty is increasing, mentality and moral fabric diminishing. One real black leader is pastor James David Manning who is probably the best role model I can think of. (Equality - Doesn't matter if I'm white, I can still have views and opinions.)
You haven't answered about why black society has eroded so much since then. All the way up to the civil rights era, everybody dressed and acted classy, after it... whole different attitudes emerged. Mass poverty now compared to before - I feel it's impart because of the countries economical situation and big corporations getting bigger. I myself would rather bring black communities up to the same standard as whites, instead of black communities bringing the white ones to a lower standard. Would you prefer to see the betterment of all - or just for blacks?
