What's Happening... We are all becoming angry... blacks and whites

[Correll]

And this nation is in bad shape and getting worse every day.

If you love this country, you should be angry.

Exactly what metric are you using here? Things are certainly different from when I was a child but every generation says that. What is so bad? (Except for Congress, that is certainly worse today than I can ever recall.)

Lots of them.

1. SOcial capital.

2. Middle class and working class wage stagnation.

3. Unsustainable finances, nationally and personally.

4. rising racial tensions and discrimination.

5. decline of the family, with all its' resulting problems.

6. Loss of confidence in the future.

that's off the top of my head.

Could you cite a few examples of number four and discrimination? Thanks.

The 230 point bonus blacks get for having black skin in Ivy League College admissions.

The New Haven Firefighter discrimination case.

The rhetoric that encourages this resentment has to be stopped.

I listen to conservative talk radio and if you looking for a group throwing gas on the fire look no further. They are constantly telling me how bad a shape this country is in, how bad the leaders and government in general are, and that I should be angry. I think if you hear this kind of talk over and over again you might believe it. (Disclaimer, I don't listen to left-wing talk radio so I don't know if they are better, as bad, or worse.)

There is no left wing talk radio, because they have the whole rest of the media and pop culture.

And this nation is in bad shape and getting worse every day.

Angry at what and at who exactly?

Sorry but I don't see anything unique here. These are real problems but they're not so different from what we faced a hundred years ago.

There is left wing talk radio. NPR.

Insignificantly tiny.

A hundred years ago, things were getting better each day, not worse.

thank you. I don't think either one of those would cause a black person to shoot five cops. What you have given as an example is not really discrimination. It is more like affirmative action. Now if blacks needed to get 230 points more to be accepted that would be discrimination.

Can you cite which shows on NPR? Do you listen to them yourself?

2016 election is looking more like black vs white, or Americans VS Terrorists.

Only to someone who is a natural born idiot.

The 2016 election is between a candidate who is engaged (like Hillary) qualified (like Hillary) competent (like Hillary) and someone who isn’t (Like Drumpf).

Honestly, do you type that crap about Mrs. Tuzla while laughing? After what was said about her and her email you still think she is competent? After Benghazi do you fell she is still competent?

No I would say that since you are a thinking person you can't possibly think so. What I think is you like forcing the worse possible thing onto other folks. I am not sure what it is about liberals but that seems to be what they like to do. Could you please explain?

Example: A police officer shoots a black. The media highlights the altercation. Blacks blame the police without knowledge of the entire scenario. Whites react to the actions of blacks for protesting. As each group incorrectly assume their action is appropriate, neither is. Anger piles on anger and people don't think logically any longer.

Yes blacks are upset at the loss of life and whites are upset at blacks for being upset at the loss of life. See the difference?

So whites are not upset at the loss of life? Why would you assume that? Maybe racism......?

I see a difference, the first part of your statement might be true, the second is lying liberal BS.

It is what they are programmed to believe.

A hundred years ago, things were getting better each day, not worse.

A hundred years ago we were headed for a world war, a depression, and another world war.

Sure they are I'm referring to the whites who are mad at the people upset at a life being lost. There were plenty of whites who marched and understands the issue but the OP werent talking about them



Want to take that back? Of course not. White people are there but you'll just say they are anti white because accusations is all you have. Pretend victim...?

Thats what the OP said. Sorry, you should tell the OP that shit aint true. Neither I, nor Obama is at fault.

The whites there better grow eyes in the back of their heads. When blacks get from them what they want, don't think blacks won't turn on them.

See? They are out protesting too but you're still going with that Anti White shit to bring us all closer.

 

[Rustic]

And where will it lead? Clinton says that whites need to listen...What about blacks?

Our problem is "ignorance."

Ignorance of history, Ignorance of the law, Ignorance of responsibility and Ignorance of accepting all people.

Have you ever watched these interviews of people who seemingly have had no education? They don't have a clue of history, current events or the challenge of accepting those who are different from ourselves.

Where there is ignorance, a breeding ground of hate and anger ensues. That is where we are.

One group will act in a certain manner and the opposite group; will retaliate in kind out of anger.

(Example: A police officer shoots a black. The media highlights the altercation. Blacks blame the police without knowledge of the entire scenario. Whites react to the actions of blacks for protesting. As each group incorrectly assume their action is appropriate, neither is. Anger piles on anger and people don't think logically any longer.)

If it is a winner is the last man standing, we are in for a long unsolvable war that will take more innocent lives. The rhetoric that encourages this resentment has to be stopped.

Getting along is overrated…

This whole situtation is liberal divide and conquer BS.

In my opinion for everyday, go to work, people black and white we DON'T hate each other. Blacks and whites work together with one problem, that I see. I don't hate blacks because they are black and I don't think blacks hate me only because I am white.

Is the situation in the inner city terrible, yes. Does that mean whites hate blacks, no. Are whites keep the blacks in the inner city. Well in my opinion, yes, the democrat policies have kept white and black poor, poor. But that has nothing to do with hate it is just the situation.

Are there cops that profile blacks as being a bigger risk than whites, sure, I think I might do the same, doesn't mean I would shoot them for no reason. Especially in the inner city.

What America does have are race baiters like Mrs. Tuzla. Who only blames one side of the equation. When in fact it is people like her who are the problem. Need proof that people like Mrs. Tuzla make things worse, just look around.

Now the question is what do we do about the urban hell holes that lots of poor live in? Give handouts? Or create jobs? I think working and earning a living is the way to go. But that appears to be the direct opposite of democrat policy. Bring in millions of poor is only going to make things worse, but then again, maybe that is what people like Mrs. Tuzla wants.

How does me having apathy for the inner city poor make their situation any better? How can I make it better for them? No sir there is only one person who can brake the cycle for the inner city poor, and it is them when given the opportunity.

I don't hate blacks and I think it is a shame when one is shot needlessly.

I've been an adult education teacher for the past couple years, and I have to take exception to your statement that the Democrats (although they don't have the majority in D.C., do they?) are not trying to help the poor get jobs. The going theory is that to earn a living wage, you need a certain amount of education. Almost everything we do with students no matter what THEIR goals--an equivalency diploma, English as a Second Language, remedial math, college level tutoring--the government insists on a lengthy "plan" listing what they want for a career and tracks steps to achieve that. It's a big pain in the butt. But it is definitely a government initiative to get the poor trained and working. Everyone wants people off assistance, including the people on assistance. Our biggest problem here is that even with improved education, there are extremely few jobs around here that earn a good living wage.

The problem isn't a lack of education. The problem is an increasingly hostile business atmosphere by big government. The job market is sparse and an educated unemployed or under employed person isn't going to fix it.
