Unfortunately we think alike. Not much solace for our troubling times.

I like what you said. One question, however?

You stated, "I also think it's why Black Culture as a whole doesn't put much stock in Conservatives or in the Constitution. They see it as the document that didn't protect them, so why go to the mat for it?"

How many Americans, of all color have a clue what is in the Constitution? How many of the folks in Watts, or Cabrini Green, or Harlem for that matter have a clue about what the Constitution is or what is written therein, much less be willing to support it?

Unfortunately Americans of all stripes and colors today want others, mostly in the form of "government" to take care of their every need rather than the other way around.

Returning to Constitutionally conservative principles, I fear is never going to happen in the Republic. I wish I felt differently, but we have crossed the Rubicon, imho.

Merry Christmas!

My opinion?

Very few, either black or white.

But the blacks, they know it didn't offer them equal protection for a long, long time. And that's all they have to know to hate (or maybe just simply distrust) it.

I certainly don't agree, as I said right now that's the only thing separating us from the third world hell holes we all cringe at. We're all in the same boat now.

I can understand it though and we compound this error by not teaching civics as we should.

IMHO.
