Comparing the South with Nazi Germany??? Oh you have got to be joking because that's just plain asinine. Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised because we're living in an era of ridiculousness.

I pay taxes and I do charity work so as far as I'm concerned, outside of my immediate family, my 'responsibility' towards others ends there.
I've got my own problems and my own goals and I don't feel any need to sacrifice my life for the benefit of other people.

BLM is a Marxist terrorist organization and should be treated as such. I don't care if the protests are peaceful, as long as BLM is a part of them then I want the National Guard deployed to put an end to them.

The appropriate thing to say is that I do NOT care about strangers. The people I care about are me, my child, my parents, my sister and to a lessor extent my closest friends. I'm not Mother Teresa and I don't feel a calling to become someone like her. Therefore, I'm not going to live my life for the benefit of strangers.

What I said was:
Quote:when it comes to education, America's inner city schools and schools with a large percentage of African American children are a pathetic joke.
You would cringe with horror and fear if you ever spent a day in one of those schools. The teachers are trying damn hard to teach those kids but the students are violent, ignorant, stoned, etc.
A huge percent of those kids don't even know who their father is and their mother is not much better. Children as young as 2 have been left alone in the home for days at a time while the mother is out partying, getting laid or doing drugs.
My point is that what keeps Black Americans down is Black Americans.
Allow me to better clarify and render more politically correct my above comments
The facts are, that for whatever reason, among African Americans there is a disproportionate number of dysfunctional families. This dysfunctionalism plays out in our inner city schools and schools with sizeable African American population that are located adjacent to large cities by rendering those facilities subpar when compared with their less urbanized counterparts.
Furthermore, there is a disproportionate level of violent crime in African American communities located in large cities. The majority of violence is perpetrated by African Americans against African Americans. We do not see these levels of familial dysfunctionalism and violent crime in other minority communities.
My assessment;
We don't get to chose what kind of environment we're born into and life makes no one any promises or owe anyone anything. Regardless if you're an African American living in a urban ghetto or poor white trash living above a Fat Burger, the only person can better your situation is yourself.
Considering that this is the USA and the poorest American still has it better than probably 90% of the world... No one that wants to better their life or their situation has any reason to complain. In this nation, to have a better life, just work hard and save your money. So if you can't better yourself then the only person you have to blame is yourself.
