Was is the operative word. What's a matter? Have no answer for what I wrote?
Um, yeah, I did, but you didn't understand it.
You live in a world where racism isn't a problem, when in fact, if there is one thing that the last 5 years have proven, we really haven't gotten that poison out of our system.
Elect a black guy, half the country goes batshit insane.
Ryan just got caught saying what half of you are thinking.
How many times do you need me to say racism is a problem for you to get it through your thick head that I believe it is one? It is a problem, but not the main one. Anyway, since you're only willing to acknowledge racism as the problem, and you're such a problem solver, I would love to hear what solutions you have.
Same solution we had in the Great Depression. Create government works programs and put people to work. Period. Create first class infrastructure.
Reform the prison system to the point where we don't lock up 2 million people and think nothing is wrong. We have 2 million in prison and 7 million on parole or probation - most of them minority and for non-violent offenses - and we wonder why they can't find jobs. "Oooh, you got arrested for smoking weed when you were 19! Can't hire you!"
Incidently, I think a lot of our problems with racism are subliminal. MOst white folks don't think of ourselves as racist, but we spend an awful lot of time not seeing minorities. The thing is, people tend to identify with folks that remind them of themselves. And when you have white folks doing most of the hiring, guess what...
