Now is the time for Republicans to propose inner city solutions

Actually, anyone who receives government entitlements, subsistence, and works as a government employee, should not be allowed to vote.

Hard work, go to school, have a father and mother in the family, act responsibly, take care of yourself - I don’t think that’s going to sell real well.

Now is the time for Republicans to propose inner city solutions

They don't have any solutions to offer. Even your post is very heavy on "we need" and very, very light on "here's how".

Read this article and share it.

Black and Latino Americans: WAKE UP!

"The over-riding segments of the population that enabled Barack Obama's victory in 2012 were the Black vote (who voted for him by over 90%) and the Latino vote (who voted for him by over 70%).

"And they did so, absolutely against their own best interest.

"Oh, in the short term it can certainly be argued that Obama's campaign of "social justice," and equalizing the playing field from his perspective...which perspective is a socialist, redistribution of wealth perspective at best, and a Marxist perspective at worst, is appealing to voters who find themselves as a group the most negatively impacted in terms of employment, family stability, poverty, and crime rates in the nation, and particularly during this long standing economic down turn.

"When a politician promises specifically to "right these wrongs," and to give these voting blocks "stuff," be it contraceptives, food stamps, a portion of other people's income, free school loans, easier housing, etc., etc. one can see why people would be tempted to vote for them. And make no mistake, that is exactly what the progressive left is doing, as they have done for decades. Dangling entitlements and free "stuff," in front of people in an effort to buy their vote.

"But everything has a cost...as we shall see...and the cost is horrific for those whose life styles, livelihoods, and social positioning are adversely impacted.

"Despite it being hard to look beyond the entitlements and hand-outs, it is all the more important to examine the record of the politicians promising such things. Perhaps they do so to hide their actual record. What they have actually done (or not done) for these constituencies, is a critical determination to make before making a decision as to who should lead this nation and address its economic and social problems.

"This nation spends over a trillion dollars on welfare every year. Since the inception of the "Great Society" under Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s, this nation has spent tens of trillions of dollars at the behest of the progressive left to try and "equalize," things by "giving" away money, perks, food stamps, house loans, school loans, etc., etc.

"Have things improved?

"No, they have not.

"By abandoning the time honored and proven methods of hard work, personal accountability and responsibility, advancement due to merit, and the natural competiveness and reward of the free market, these socialist policies have failed...and are failing here in the United States, and failing miserably...just like they have everywhere else on earth they have been attempted." "

It goes on to share the demographic and statistical data in detail.

Every American should see it...and particularly Black and Latino Americans. The facts do not lie.

Their not interested in republican inner city solutions unless they ready to hand over large amts of cash to the racebaiters and black plantation owners in congress to dish out to thier peeps.

That’s totally it in a nutshell.
But there needs to be some disincentives.
Stop paying for the bastards that result.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Expecting the GOP to propose solutions, you must assume two things that are not in evidence. One, that the Republican Party is a political party. It is not. It is a club established for the benefit of its members. And two, this assumes that the GOP communicates to the public. It does not. The GOP's strategy, unique in the Western World is DO NOT SAY ANYTHING, someone may get upset.

So, professor, based on points One and Two, I can confidently predict, that the Republican Members Club will NOT propose solutions for the inner city or in actuality, will not say anything.

Just wait and see.

If you look closely you'll see all the inappropriate behaviors in the black community are in response to cultural incentives. Switch the incentives...

[thorvaldr]

But if the Republicans proposed a solution, that would make them racists (or uncle Tom’s)

[chuckee]

The culture has to change first before there are any solutions.That can only be done from within.A inner city culture that accepts out of wedlock children as the overwhelming norm, whose young worship thugism,and looks down on formal education is doomed to fail no matter how much public money is wasted on “solutions” for them.

1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

1Sa 8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

2. Eliminate no-fault divorce

A gift from my hero Ronald Reagan.

On September 4, 1969, Governor Reagan signed California's no-fault divorce bill into law...

[Republicanprofessor]

Thank you all for your responses.

I still think we need to put ideas out there first to encourage cultural and political change. Otherwise it’s a chicken-and-egg problem that may never turn around.

[rabidralph]

Here’s a solution: Make yourself employable.

Here's my solution...

Snake and Nape.

[sport]

16 foot high electrified fences and guard towers every 150 feet. If they want to live like animals...fine. Just keep then quarantined.

[dfwgator]

And surrounded with a moat filled with sharks with frickin’ lasers attached to their heads.

Drug test for welfare.

Thank you. Bump for future reference. Nothing seems to change. So much for the “great society” program of LBJ.
