You know, too many of them have expressed the desire not to go back. It must have been very oppressive because most of us love our homestates. Truly I think they would love to go back if their living conditions were better. They seem so shocked that someone cares about them. You have to wonder why.
Wrong. Inspiring those "truly mired down" to "start over" someplace else is tantamount to sweeping the problem under the rug. You have to give them a reason to start over. Building businesses in the entreprenuerial spirit gives those "truly mired down" individuals someplace to start.
This is what your remembered; KodakGallery.com/slideshow
LOL! That too.
What did the Democrats offer tonight?....... All they want is to pin blame, and investigate something that happened in the past. Watching Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi conduct a news conference is like watching a spoiled brat who is complaining about not getting his or her way. They offer absolutely NOTHING, just gripes and whining. Who could follow such losers?
I don't understand your initiative having any connection to "a state construction program funneling federal funds".
I don't much feel like arguing with you.
I like you fine but we are not on the same page regarding these topics.
I think an intergenerational ghetto family has a better chance shaking that off by starting over in a different known inner city urban ghetto environment somewhere like Lubbock or Salt Lake or Bozeman etc where such culture does not flourish.
Sorta like Haitian boat people feeling Haiti ...
that is hardly sweeping it under the rug....it's smart to me
I am dealing with evacuees here in Middle Tennessee thru the SBC and I have yet to hear any under 50 from the ghetto who want to go back. They look around Murfreesboro or Franklin and say "damn, I want to start over here!"
who can blame them.
they know no matter how pretty they rebuild the 9th ward or whatever....that given time, their chances are better here.
(not) starting over......
nite
Maybe you should create two live threads for these events. One for Bushbots and one for SuperCons. The resulting traffic would become a kind of informal poll.
For instance, it was the damned hippies and the Black Power snake oil cons, that changed so much of the culture in the '60s. Welfare and the "GREAT SOCIETY" didn't help any either; however, let's please be historically accurate about things.
And segregated schooling, in the South, was pretty terrible, for a very long time. The same was true in Boston and other places as well.
Poverty pimps and race hustlers and cons have been around since Antebellum times; Booker T. Washington talked about them, after all.
I'm not going to write an extended historical screed, refuting and explaining every point, but suffice it to say, that I think that your perception of the president's speech and mine, are radically different...to the point that I wonder why what he said, managed to set you off so.
Ah...I think I see. The FEDERAL civil rights laws dealt with federal funding...Fed to Fed. If you have a state program, like those in NO will be, it's Fed funding through a state structure...not covered by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The money Bush talked about was Federal funding that will be funneled through state (LA) programs. When he talked about giving minority businesses an advantage...that's where our anti-discrimination initiative kicks in.
59% of the lib state of Washington voted in the initiative...mainly due to the fact that Fed highway funds are funneled through state highway construction projects.
The same thing will be going on all over LA, MS and AL. Unless they have such a state law, discrimination will be legal, even under the 1964 Act.
That would be interesting, wouldn't it?
But, then, who would they argue with?
Because it isn't. I suggest you read the Constitution.
You're doing a great job!
I'm sorry...I have no idea what you're commenting on...pls enlighten me.
Except they're not Haitian boat people fleeing Haiti. The "truly mired down" will stay "truly mired down" no matter where they relocate. Give them concrete reasons to pull themselves up out of their mired condition, and they might reconsider. They're "truly mired down" because they've been conditioned to think that way by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Given an option, they'll rethink their current situation, decide they've had enough and chart a different course in life, whether they're relocated in Bozeman, MT, or Murfreesboro, TN, or going back to NOLA. Many want to stay where they're at, and probably just as many want to go back. Who can blame them?
The Dems have offered NOTHING, for so long, it's mind boggling , to me, that people still voted for them.
Well, thats what you said, not I. The quote you provided in your initiative might as well come from the Civil Rights Law, and probably did.
Thanks...I try to. :-)
