Might I ask why you replied to what I said and then deleted what you said?
I am, I know, approaching this subject with my typical tendency to view the entire issue as a complex and complicated problem to be solved through a variety of different solutions working in combination than I am as a simple issue that can be easily categorized.
Issues such as gang violence and drug abuse are, to my mind, symptoms of not causes of the problems faced by the Black Community. The problems involve certain leaders who prey upon a vulnerable community; a lack of willingness to work inside those communities by the overarching governments; a mistrust within the community of the overarching government thanks to decades of abuse and neglect including but not limited to police brutality and a failure to reign in mistreatment by the land and property owners; a lack of economic opportunities that leads to a reliance upon gangs and drugs to survive as well as anything that the government is willing to hand out; a lack of infrastructure making businesses unwilling to expand to said areas. I can go on. There’s a lot involved, and as I said, as Crosby, McGruder and others have pointed out, some of it comes from within the Black Community…the bulk of it, though, comes from outside. However, a failure to address all the issues involved will lead to a failure to fix the core problems.
It’s becoming almost impossible to deny his inner white disgust for the black people.
He’s not opining on Asians or Islanders, the native American Indian or Germans. Nope, he is preoccupied and obsessed with the blacks.
I’m guessing it’s penis envy and nothing more. Because Ben Stein is a big dick it doesn’t mean that he has one.
Anything blacks can fuck up, whites can fuck up worse. Crystal meth, bug spray. industrial gasses, etc… are the drugs of choice in most of rural America. Obese toothless whitefolk on foodstamps, consuming Mountain Dew by the gallon in Kentucky, WVA, PA, MD, VA, TN, MS, AL, the list goes on. 8 years of school renders a 3rd grade education in rural America. Sweatpants and small tents are considered formal attire.
Is that the same underclass that wants to rid its neighborhoods of guns, but conservatives won’t let them, or the underclass neighborhoods frequented by rich white conservatives looking for a high?
Somebody tell this clown that conservatives just voted pro-pot, and Wall Street is powered by coke heads.
Sadly, it does serve a purpose. Which is that it gives Stein another broader soapbox to spew his racism outside of the rabid racist group within Newsmax circles. Ms. MacNeal, the “reporter”, ought to be ashamed for providing the racist further publicity. Not that she or anyone of the other reporters seem to care since they just plod along to the next story all too often spoon-fed to them by the GOP or a GOP proxy.
It makes me unhappy to think that MacNeal and other TPM stenographers are getting their stories, which they report to a mainly liberal readership, from Fox and right wing sources because it’s done on the cheap and Fox is presumably ready and willing to hand over this crap. So when I say it serves no purpose I mean Stein will find no converts here. Worse, he’s a Jew. You’d think being part of a persecuted group would make him more sensitive to stereotypes.
Stein is way past his “sell date”, he only gets to raise his pointy head on right wing outlets, he has no influence on public discourse or political discussion, he’s an outlier in the truest sense of the word. If that is all true, why are his droppings be reported on and delivered to us who come here from the mostly left wing world. Something’s really off when this misanthrope is handed over to this audience.
