6. I hear ya, defend...
But what are your feelings regarding West's remarks about "failing liberal social welfare policies that have caused the demise of the black community"?
Isn't there (possibly?) a kernal of truth to them?
The fact is, even noted and universally respected Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan predicted OVER 40 YEARS AGO that the Welfare policies of the 1960s may result in an astronomical rate of out-of-wedlock births within the Black Community.
And, let's face it, Moynihan was right.
As for how I feel about West's remarks... Jesus, I don't pretend to have the answers. Wish I did. I am a Progressive, after all, and a proud one. And so my first instinct -- usually -- is to just go with what feels right or ethical in the moment and not worry too much about long-term repercussions. Or to say, "Hey, I'm a White Man and therefore have a LOT to answer for, so whatever the Black Community says they need to offset 400 years of white oppression, let's give it to them."
That's how I typically feel.
But it is hard to ignore those terrible statistics. So Jesus Christ, I am ****ing stymied.
Aren't you?
Even just a little bit...?
I hear the sound of chisels on stone.

Ya, thud, this guy will never last - I wonder how many report buttons have already been pushed there?

Interesting. One little DUmmie is not only awakening but pretty much gives the rest of the DUmp the insight that is so obvious to all of use: Liberalism doesn't work. Ever.

12. The answers are:
1. Free abortion on demand! No parental notification or authorization required!
2. Occupational Assignments Office - Jobs are assigned to every able bodied person via a color-blind data bank, as opposed to individuals making selections based on improper criteria (race / sex / orientation / etc.)!
3. Full legalization of recreational drugs, and pardoning and release of all non-violent incarcerated individuals!
4. One-time "fresh start" payment by the government of all outstanding child support amounts!
5. Strict enforcement of civil rights laws - great chance for the government to take control of THOUSANDS of businesses and rental properties through confiscation and re-purposing! The resources could then be used to 'catch up' historically oppressed peoples!
Yes sir there is a winning plan.

19. "failing liberal social welfare policies that have caused the demise of the black community."
I would certainly hope that AA leaders push back against that spin...
Clearly, they are so far out in front of the language, that all Dems can do now is defend....
Dems chose to let that happen, but unfortunately, the ones who pay the price for that are those of us with nothing.
So I guess I must ask, is Bobo black and homeless? :fuelfire:

Yeah, they're welcome to come along for the ride but they'll have to ride in the back.

Look on the bright side, Bobo, since you already have nothing you don't have to pay very much at all.

10. Thanks! One week in and I am still getting my "sea legs" LOL!
Lot of interesting threads and opinions. Some I agree with, and some (like this one) I may have a few questions about. But the level of discourse on DU is unbelievable! I feel a bit out of my depth, IQ-wise, but am doing my best to hang in.
Wish there were more hours in the day, LOL!!!

13. They weren't wishing you well
That's a DU code of saying they think you're not going to be here long.
Just letting you know.

17. Say what now?!
...Holy shit. Well, I am not one to just "kiss 'em and quit 'em," if that's why they think. (Do a lot of people drop by, sample the site for a few days, and then just leave???)

What I learned about this DUmmie from his post.
1. He got a girl knocked up at one point in his life.
2. He got fired or not hired for a job due to Affirmative Action.
3. He can't get a decent job now because he can't pass a piss test.
4. The girl he knocked up at some point in his life has sicked the family court system on him for back child support. (see 2 & 3 for indications of why he's behind).
5. He can't find a decent place to live with his minimum wage job because of #'s 2-4.

24. US should make vasectomies free --
Ya know, d&p, you should be on the lookout for one of those mobile veterinarian vans the SPCA sends around to neuter cats for a very small fee. You're all set.

46. Economic Status Quo?
The material resources of the United States should belong to ALL the citizens on the United States, not to a small number of connected individuals! The management of our food, minerals, manucaturing, energy, healtyh, transportation, and other essential goods and services should be accountable to the whole of the United States, and not to stockholders and boards of directors!
And here I thought Phil's first post was just kidding, or being hyperbolic. Nope, he's a full-blown communist. He also ends all of his sentences with exclamation points, which makes him look like a 12-year old girl.
