[Gen.Blather]

“We have a problem race living here which has a gun problem.”

I am currently in my fourth hospital stay in the last two months. Probably sixty percent of the people working in the two hospitals where I’ve stayed are black. I have been treated wonderfully well by all of them. They are polite, helpful and often went out of their way to make me more comfortable. (A big ask, given DVT clots running from my toes to my middle abdomen where they were kept from my lungs by a filter.)

Respectfully. The problem is not “the race.” The problem is that President LBJ set it up that a black woman made money by having children who were essentially fatherless. Many of them have become feral animals. America has a welfare policy problem, not a race problem. Change the policies and within one to two generations there will be a significant behavior change for better. (I don’t see that ever happening because, as Reagan said, (approximatly) nothing is closer to immortality than a government program.)

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I tend to agree with you. Before LBJ, black people made real progress. They lived in safe communities mostly deviod of gang bangers and thugs. After LBJ, the deluge.

Wonder if there is a stat of fatherlessness of perps?

[rellimpank]

—correct—and incidentally, that rabid right-winger, Senator D. Patrick Moynahan (sarc) accurately predicted this and even wrote a book about it—to no avail—

Respectfully. The problem is not “the race.”

Your experience is similar to mine. The most attentive nurse was a black LPN who did her best to make me feel comfortable under, what for me, was an unpleasant situation. She never allowed me to feel as if I was any trouble to her at all.

The problem is that far too high a percentage of the ‘race’ has become feral. But I agree that it is important for everyone to realize that all black Americans are not like that.

Actually good point. Middle-class, family-oriented, law abiding blacks are not the ones causing the problems. It is the fatherless ghetto gang-bangers who are. All the best to you.
