lawrocket 3 #26 September 3, 2010 QuoteQuotePoverty causes crime. Wealth does not cure it. What do you base this statement on? I am unaware of any peer reviewed rigorously defended study that indicates wealth does not cure crime. I am not, per se. Considering, however, that I am in courts frequently, I can say that th socioeconomic spectrum is well represented. Bernarn Madoff wasn't poor, and he's not getting out of prison alive. In fact, there are plenty of people who make a lot of money via crime and would be wealthy by most peoples' definitions. Once they get wealth, quite often they continue in crime.

skipbelt 0 #27 September 4, 2010 in protest of the current obuma regime i am black . no one should question my blackness as they shouldn't question al sharpton's blackness. i just need to keep a lower profile than al sharpton , which shouldn't be difficult considering the tawana brawley incident. who is the worse , the racist or the false accuser of racism ?

jgoose71 0 #28 September 4, 2010 Quote No, no, no... If he did that, he wouldn't be in the spot light anymore. Al Sharpton does more to hurt african americans the help them. And we have a winner. Al Sharpton has no interest in fixing the problem. If he fixed it he would no longer have a trumpet to sound to get himself attention and donations. It's been well established that the black youth has glorified the thugs life and the hip-hop culture based on prison. If the inner cities youth were given a choice between being a successful business man or being a successful drug dealer, they would pick drug dealer. The life style more closely resembles what they see on MTV. The black community needs to focus on good moral values in their youth. America has changed enough in the last 100 years that if a young black man stays in school he will have opportunity, despite what the left might say. But that will never happen, because that would mean taking a little responsibility for their own lives rather than blame someone else."There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." Life, the Universe, and Everything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doughboyshred 0 #29 September 4, 2010 uhh, the racist. And furthermore the color of person's skin in no way precludes them from being racist towards others with the same color skin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
