    How do you explain a city like Detroit, 80%+ black, a mostly black Democrat government for decades, and the city is one of the poorest and crime ridden major cities in the country? What sort of polices are Democrats offering this city that is helping minorities?

    Or a wealthy city like Chicago that has been ran by Democrats for decades, where there is a major disparity in wealth between blacks and whites.

    Same goes for other large Democrat cities such as San Fransisco, Oakland, Portland, Seattle.

    Just explain to me what sort of policies these Democrats provide to minorities other than "Republicans hate the color of your skin!"

    You should virtue signal less and think more.
    Those situations are from unregulated capitalism and racism established throughout the history of the United States. Its the story of our country that no one wants to openly talk about.

    Read Coates article "The Case for Reparations". It explains exactly how the red lining in Chicago happened.

    Locked out of the greatest mass-based opportunity for wealth accumulation in American history, African Americans who desired and were able to afford home ownership found themselves consigned to central-city communities where their investments were affected by the “self-fulfilling prophecies” of the FHA appraisers: cut off from sources of new investment[,] their homes and communities deteriorated and lost value in comparison to those homes and communities that FHA appraisers deemed desirable.
    Untangling that deeply rooted mess requires some serious changes. Changes that people have been opposed to and continue to be opposed to for decades. Changes that people have been trying to make for decades.

    You want to blame democrats for failure while fighting to make them fail.

    I honestly can't tell if you're just trolling anymore.

    You're hopeless. Even when Democraps have power in these cities for decades and fail because of unsound policies, somehow it's the conservative's fault. And you wonder why we call you retarded; well, let me clue you in because I know you can't figure it out: it's because you're retarded.

    You act as if democrats had total control over these places. Are you forgetting how our government works? No one party has all the power. You are quick to blame and never take the responsibility.

    Do I think that conservatives/republicans hold us back? Yes. Its why they are called conservatives. They want things to stay the same or be like the good old days. Well the good old days sucked.

    Both parties are to blame for not being able to fix issues that are deeply rooted in our history. Its not from lack of trying to change things.

    Hey Back if it's because of unregulated capitalism then why aren't all cities across the country like Detroit?

    Democrats have had an overwhelming majority in those cities for decades. Stop being so fucking disingenuous all the time. Because if it's not that, then you really are that dumb and clueless, which there is no cure for.

    Its great that you think democrats could wipe away generations of institutional racism in every aspect of society and business with a snap of their fingers. Democrats aren't the only party in this country though. This kind of deep institutionalized racist policy needs major changes that both parties need to be on board with. And remember that there are people out there who are against changing these policies. Crazy, right?

    If you hadn't noticed, or ignored it, every major city in this country has this issue to some degree or another.

    I usually tell people who talk to me the way you are in that last post to go fuck themselves just on principal. You aren't trying to debate or find solutions. But I feel generous today. You're welcome.

    You know you are arguing with Back right?

    your Acceptance
    nor your Permission.
