Right because you equate legitimate criticism of deep flaws in their culture with “white supremacy” and “racism” which is exactly what I pointed out PREVENTS true change for the better in their lives.

If you read carefully what I wrote, I’m talking about the need to HELP them help themselves, not enable their dysfunction as Obama has.

I get it. You don’t like “black culture”

What would an alternative description of "black culture" be to you?

You wrote that your “first thought” was gotta be blacks.

That’s where your mind is at. I get it.

Two articles published right on the same page I saw online yesterday (I paraphrase):

Dazzling zinc "sparklers" shoot from egg at moment of conception as new human life begins.

Successful experiments on 13-day embryos trigger new debate on when life begins.

They can't tell when life begins? Bet they can tell when it ends.

“What would an alternative description of “black culture” be to you? “

I call it ghetto culture. When I hear that term, my thoughts turn to a couple of white people I know.

When I hear “black culture”, I think of Mowtown and lots of incredible music that came out of there.

They’ll still call you racist referring to tragedies like this part of “ghetto culture”, but “ghetto culture” sums it up. Packs of thugs walking around looking for cash, drugs, and sluts.

I hate to sound crude, but this thug needs to be executed. Jail won’t rehabilitate this thug.

Also, getting cheap, highly addictive drugs like meth and opiates off the streets would start to clean things up ... the dealers have no fear peddling that crap ... lethal injection or a firing squad might change their tunes. It won’t shock me in the least if we learn this was a drug related murder due to two warring gangs (i.e. American drug distribution organizations).

Yes, I confess I’m guilty of that. But I went on to explain why - because of the self-destructive, self hatred, and dependency that dominates much of their culture. Not all blacks submit to that dysfunction, but too many do and IMO help is needed to get them out of it.

“White supremacy” and “racist” often effectively blocks genuine attempts to help IMO.

Shining the light on the problem doesn’t make me or anyone else a “white supremacist” and “racist” if you’re doing it to find remedies. And using “white supremacist” and “racist” to keep these problems in dark do the blacks no service at all.

Isn’t the sperm cell and egg alive once they are formed? or am I wrong.

If the question is when are they human, I’ve yet to see one come out a pizza or a calzone.

They’re humans in the early stages. Just like men in their 30s :)

But they’re still human!!

I need to clarify ... I call the murder described in this article “ghetto culture”. “Black culture” would be a wrong way to describe it.

Maybe FR is the only place where these problems can be openly addressed, not without some pretty strong backlash, however.

Sadly, issues of the problems of the black culture are rarely addressed. As I said, using “white supremacist” and “racist” to keep these problems in dark do the blacks no service at all.

Good grief: I hadn't seen that, but it's right there in the left-hand column. The prosecution eyewitness in this case, Leroy Powell, was ambushed, shot and killed.

No wonder the horribly injured mother whose child was killed, told the cops she "couldn't make positive identification." She probably knew that the murderer, or somebody in the murderer's gang, would come back and kill her.

Appalling.

A sperm cell and and egg cell are alive, but they are like skin or bone or brain cells: just a living "part."

Once fertilized, he fertilized egg (now called a zygote) is a human being.

Nothing ever authorized the legal separation of human beings into two classes: one with rights, and one without.

It's the premise of Nazism and slavery.

And you're right: chimpanzees and broccolis don't come from human mating. Every species produces offspring according to its species.

You study this kind of stuff in a psychology degree program.

You could put broccoli ... well, waitaminnit. You could put spinach and extra cheese in the calzone.

Sort of a healthy yet crunchy chimera.

That sounds good. In fact, it sounds so good that I think they sell it in the prepared-foods section at Harris Teeter.
