A large part of the problem is government subsidizes poor choices.

James,

I do declare, your blessed heart sounds like a preacher man quoting from the Good Book!
You forgot to add the One who wrote about these things in the beginning.
When culture decides to rewrite history, they become the creator/god, correct?

Scripture answers "why is there a problem?"
The question is; In whom do we seek answers?
The finite or the infinite.

I think steven 49er is right. The government has been rewarding irresponsible behavior for generations. Why wouldn’t we get more of it ?

Oh SNAP!

I haven't read this entire thread and this may have been said:

What is the difference but the color of the hood?
Last night I saw a clip of a black guy I think in New York standing hi among a crowd yelling thru a bullhorn and advocating stepping on cops until they die, hang them from the nearest tree etc. I've heard tons of these colored protestors publicly threatening whites, destroying any and all property. How many videos have come out showing blacks attacking whites without any provocation?
Bad is bad why is pigment now the acceptable excuse?

It's another consequence of accepting the term "hate" crime.
Maybe because I'm a breed and I guess my pigment is somewhere in the middle I do not understand the acceptance of any of this stupidity from either side of the color spectrum.

Those of you with time and an interest....Google "Race riots of......" and see how many different dates pop up. This seems to be a generational thing. The point being, this isn't anything new.

The rub is that American society has.....for at least this generation.....dating back nearly 60 years at least.......tried to integrate blacks into the rest of society. Some have, but for the most part, the majority haven't. The culture won't allow it.

The irony is....those that reject the culture and rise above it are often highly successful and are celebrated. Oprah comes to mind. Those that don't continue to lag and suffer and blame almost everyone but themselves. Because it is seen as so destructive, for the most part, white America continues to reject black culture, and that is the source of the conflict. The most racist of them all are the white liberals who move it to help "the poor dears", who can't do anything for themselves without the brains and condescending help of these enlightened whites.

So rather than facing the black culture head on, the rest of the country looks the other way and lets them stew in their own juice. So when they get frustrated they have no tax base, no jobs, no education and not much of anything else but corruption to live on, they get frustrated and lash out. Leadership....mayors, etc,......could solve it, but as long as they are doing OK, they won't. So the rest of us.....what we see as civilized society......can only hope to contain the carnage to a few confined areas.

Won't get better until that group of society decides to change, and to date, that has not happened. Not likely to any time soon.

Peaceful protestors are lightening fast at digging through people’s pockets when they hit the ground, lets face it they are nothing more then common criminals. A window breaking to them is like a dying rabbit call to a hungry yote.

Six guys in the back yard drinking Buds and talking trash don't make the Klan. In the 20's there was over 4 million members. Blacks was not the only target of the Klan. I knew Klansmen and if you were running around on your wife or stealing or any other trouble they came and knock on your door. them folks didn't care if you was black, white or purple. more then likely you was going to be purple after all was said and done. And if you was young Lord you didn't want to pi$$ one of them folks off. I seen one knock the taste out of a 16 year old for driving to fast where kids were playing and yes he was white. Some i talked to didn't even have anything against blacks, now there was some who did for sure. They kinda of step in as an off branch of southern law and justice you might say. Robert Shelton who live not far from us was an Imperial Wizard of the United Klan said in a Newspaper interview before he died said for the most part the Klan was dead and would never be what it was. Race baiters and the media have to keep the Klan alive, big money to be made for Al and Jessie Jackson and others. Seen some data one time that in nearly 90 years the Klan they could be connected to 3000 to 4000 murders total. and truth be known a lot of them killings were probably carpetbaggers. In almost any given 6 month period more blacks will shoot that many blacks in America. How many in Chicago last weekend along? Sure the Klan had hate to share but like telling some one that 300,000 poor southern farmers died to defend a Plantation owners right to have slaves there a lot of our history that is based now days on a little truth and a whole lot of lies. I reckon it depends on who writing the history books and Newspapers at the moment. Everybody got opinions and my is the Klan killed itself when it killed them kids in Birmingham, and rightly so. Sad it don't seem to work the same way in Chicago.

Sounds like the Bald Nobbers.

It may come to that again..........although I'd find a different name than the Klan.

Perhaps "Justice League"?

Maybe because the BLM openly opposes the "Western idea of the nuclear family", capitalism (which requires hard work), the "patriarchal system" that requires single mothers to work for a living, and "cisgender privilege".

None of my family was even in this country 200 years ago. I did have one man who was in the civil war fighting for the north. I don't feel I owe anyone for something that happened 200 years ago.

Skunks are the new coyotes.

Yeah Lawdog... I’ve always wondered about you with that skunk husbandry you’ve got going on lol

I live in the ozarks mountains. Not to far from the area. Branson is in Taney Co I think so.
