” Blacks are the most conservative group in the country”

What a crock! Blacks vote in the 80-90 percentile in elections for the RATS. Trump cracked it a bit, but they are certainly not conservative.

Can a church offset the influence of ‘free’ money from the Government? A Government that subsidizes SIN?

Can a church which depends on a congregation's "free government money" for tithes really oppose the government?

Sheesh, talk about empty words, delivered as a political lubricant in 2004 by a political snake-oil salesman, to set up 2008.

From the reprehensible, divisive racist Mr. Thug Life himself, no less.

I agree. Trump actually tried to make real inroads in the Black Community, Under him, funding for HBCUs was not only restored, but tripled. The 2018 tax plan had special economic empowerment zones, many of which were in Blakc communities. And the First Step Act was a narrowly tailored justice reform bill that got some reformed Blacks out of serving very long prison sentences.

For his Second Term, he had a Platinum Plan with an ambitious goal to create 500,000 Black-owned businesses. Unfortunately, since Biden won (cheated?) his way to the WH, we have TV commercials with ordinary Blacks discussing rectifying the low number of Black-owned businesses. Talk about the country shooting itself in the foot!

Biden seems to want the steady diet, which will continue the lowered productivity and inflation.

What Conservatives Don’t Understand About the Black Community

I developed a deep understanding from living in Brooklyn in the 1970s.

"...It’s one thing to help people get from here to there; it’s another to make them dependent when they don’t have to be..."

Exactly. Americans (at least conservatives) are generous and helpful outside the confines of government programs, and studies have been done that show this.

At a gut level, most conservatives realize the intrinsic damage that chronic dependence on others for handouts brings, even if they can't elucidate it.

"The left needs a permanent underclass.”

And that is the truth. It is because the fundamental engine behind Leftism is the exercise of fostering resentment by pitting one group against another, which is a basic tenet of Marxism.

But they have realized that Marxism, the pitting of one economic class against another won't work in the United States, because opportunity to succeed exists for EVERYONE...they have simply substituted Race for Class.

In the short term, it has been working splendidly for them, but in the long term, my heart tells me it will fail...as long as we don't give them enough time to institutionalize it, which we are failing at.

God loves his children. His creation is a marvel of science able to meet the life needs of those who come here.

God is no respecter of persons, which means his word is available to all who so choose.

So attempting to make the case that he speaks only to LDS is another deception courtesy of our friend Elsie.

PS, I chose in this case not to read the attached article as it appeared to be chosen to prove a point that scripture refutes.

The point is that even obambam himself points to black culture as the problem.

"Blacks vote in the 80-90 percentile in elections for the RATS. Trump cracked it a bit, but they are certainly not conservative."

True, except that a distinction should be made btwn American blacks (and Somali) and others from Africa such as Kenya.

True...my point was, he doesn’t believe it for a second it should be jettisoned, and fully embraces it when it is politically expedient.

HE (Obama) knows “black culture” is a problem, but he also knows it is a valuable tool to keep a black underclass in a state of perpetual turmoil, anger, violence and resentment, which does, of course, play directly into the hands of any disciple of Alinsky, as he most surely (and self-admittedly) is.

A pox on him. Or worse.

Dang!

I wish that I could understand something without reading it!

So you are publically stating that a very high ranking Mormon actually goes against Scripture?

HMMMmmm...

I like that better than Avoider.

No Flipper you have it exactly backwards. It is you attempting to prove a point that scripture refutes.

What 'point' is it that you imagine I am trying to prove?

THIS one??

1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
