Gov. Rick Perry indicted on felony charges
Or simply put, getting up and doing something about [insert issue] rather than complaining about it is hard. Chaos's Mom is easy.

Asura.Kingnobody said: » Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: » King, that has nothing to do with the arguments being presented, strawman elsewhere. We're talking about generational poverty and the underlying issues that create ghettoization of communities. Let's see how that works.... Your attempt to divert away from the underpinning issues is noted. Again, once you're in the poverty cycle bought and paid for by the municipality you live in, the results are predictable. House people in run down neighborhoods, with low income jobs and a structure that promotes seeing blacks as 'less than' and are you surprised when people rarely climb out? Neighborhoods are typically carved out for 'the others' either as whites flee the brown menaces or the neighborhood is municipally starved. Look at the hire rates for college educated blacks versus whites. A white male with a record has a better shot of employment. Why? If you're black with a record (very possible if you live in a bad area) you might as well euthanize yourself. Look at the home loan rates, the type of loans given, where blacks are typically given choice to live in etc etc etc. It doesn't matter how much work you put in. In America, if you're black not equal to your similarly situated white person. Period. If you're super rich then the rules no longer apply to you. See: Jay-Z, Oprah, Idris Elba, Dre and anyone else typically used in a strawman.

It also describes households, not individuals. But this gets into the definition of what is rich (or upper class), versus affluent. So for the statement to be describing the rich accurately, it would need to be looking somewhere at the top 1%. fonewear said: » Steve Jobs earned all his money selling fruit to hipsters.

Side bar whoever is filling in for Wolf Blizter is quite scrumptious.

Depending on the area, and keeping consistent with inflation, nothing wrong with $15/hour for flipping a burger.
Hell I'm tempted to say regardless of the area. It's funny they go on and on about people not wanting to work, yet when people work some of the shittiest jobs/schedules out there, they want them to also not make anything. How does it feel to speak rhetoric that is literally keeping the poor poor? White privilege is a myth at best. People are 'racist' against anybody when and if it suits their needs, it just so happens blacks are an easy target because they generally live in poorer communities (aside for slavery). Poor communities all share the same traits. Just because a place is poor doesn't mean they're mostly black and just because a community is mostly black doesn't mean they're poor. But statistically the current layout places a majority of poorer communities as mostly black.
White guilt, as described by Martin Luther King Jr., is a real thing. And it comes from everybody, whether it be a black community blaming the white man, or the liberal elite pushing PC to extremes and everything else in between. Racism on the other hand stems from poor communities looking for someone to blame, to rich people looking for a cause to make themselves feel better or deflect a situation they may have caused by gaining wealth. Generally people will tend to get along if they are content in their current situation in life. Have Vs Have not, be content where you are in life, or do something to make it better.

But how many people can you trust to know the IRC and get you returns for the least amount of tax legally? I feel guilty but not for being white...

Most rational people recognize that there should be some limits on what arms individuals are allowed to possess. If you agree that some are allowed to be prevented, then all you are doing is trying to define the scope of encroachment on the right to bear arms. But they're not equivocal, nuclear weapons and chemical weapons both contain items that are banned by their inherit danger in themselves, regardless of being weaponized. However the rest of that list should be allowed, 100% and the fact that they try to limit it is a direct violation of the 2nd amendment. Leviathan.Chaosx said: » White privilege is a myth at best.

It's regulated to the point of you're not allowed to enrich yellow cake, even for power, but I'm fine with somebody having the rest of the rocket.

But how many people can you trust to know the IRC and get you returns for the least amount of tax legally? This gets back to the simple fact that relevance or benefit to society has little bearing whatsoever on prevailing wages. Depends on how good of a burger we are talking about ?

But why prevent someone from having any of the armaments that the government can have? After all, you have the right to bear arms. Any armaments, no? |
