As you can see Pat, Stoned has no desire to end the insulting. It is not me, it is Brewster, Stoned, Telco, Corky52, Sea Dog, and at times Colo_crawdad. Colo_crawdad said he would stop but has already insulted Neutral. If you want adult discussion then I suggest you need to speak to the people who are doing the insulting. The ball is in their court. I will wait a bit longer before I rejoin them in the name calling and insulting because no adult discussion can happen as long as they continue their name calling and insulting.

After 50 plus years of Democrat "do gooder" policies, there is no change for the African American..... none.... it's just bigger.
While I don't agree with your characterization, I also had the impression that in, at least, the numbers of African Americans completing university and achieving professional levels seemed to have increased noticeably in recent decades. So I Googled it.

I found that the percentage of African Americans who have completed four of more years of college has increased from 4% in 1970 to 11% in 1990. http://www.ers.usda.gov/media/934470/aer731g_002.pdf

This isn't to suggest that all is well or that much isn't still needed to be done to improve the prospects for African Americans as well as other segments of society.

If you're using 4 years of college as a guide to gains in black status (which is only one of many criteria you could use and it takes in only a 20 year period):

Your article quotes an increase of 4% of U.S. black population completing 4 years of college from 1970 to 1990, an increase of 11%.

The black population increased from 22 million in 1970 to 30 million in 1990, an increase 36.4%. While the college attendance increase 11% in those 20 years, the black population increased 36.4%. Of the 64% of that increase in black population how many didn't complete 4 years of college, or gain a job, or raise their level above the subsistence (poverty level)? What is their lot in life. It's not hard to see why Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and other major U.S. cities are having the same periodic "rioting" as back in the 60s.

How many on this forum would like to live the subsistence life that our increasing black population since the 60s or the 70s is living with little hope of breaking upward. Sure there are more black college grads than in the 60s or 70s but there are even more who see no real hope for change in their lives. It's not hard to see if you really look and really care about the causes. It will never change if we don't look at the causes.

Hillary is offering free education beyond high school. More and more blacks are leaving high school. How do they get into college unless colleges lower their standards (which some are doing)? And, will there be jobs after they get out. Will there be jobs for more blacks who don't go to college. There greatest success has been in sports and entertainment.... but those are few when you consider the masses.

I lived in Pittsburg in the 60s. I could pretty much go any where in he city back then. There are definitely area I wouldn't go now... some not far from Univ. of Pittsburgh..... and Pittsburgh isn't that bad compared to other large cities.

I just can't see where the blacks are making significant gains.... not above subsistence.... so the young supplement their lot in life via illegal means. That's on an increase and has been.

I see no need to change anything on either side, I'm not a thin
skinned pantywaist like you. Calling frogs, frogs and pigs, pigs is fine by me.

I think it would help you a lot if you tended to your own posting habits. And put a damper on your highly charged and emotional approach to what others post. I laugh at most of the stupid, ill informed and ignorant posts I read. I'm here to have fun and not be at war.

When you start jumping on them like you do me then I will be happy to follow your advice. But as usual you are letting them get away with what ever they want. I will continue to not call names and insult people for a bit longer. But if you don't tell them to stop like you did with me then I will be forced to go back to posting like they do.

Never been able to figure out how people who call themselves Christian can support a man who acts as far from one as you can get. I guess they just Chuck their beliefs under the bus.

I never can figure out why a person who dislikes religion so much makes so many posts about it.

So, is the Christian you call attention to suppose to vote for a corrupt, get-rich-quick person, who has been shown to lie concerning political affairs to the extent that Hillary does? Apparently!

According to your thinking, no Christian could ever vote. So then, the non-Christians would be left to decide who runs our country. "Silence the vote of anyone not thinking like me," the leftist says.

Take the plank out of your own eye before you criticize anyone's vote. I mean, look who you put in the PM office in Canada, a not-dry-behind-the-ears guy who elbows women in parliament meetings who doesn't agree with him..... I don't see why a Christian, or anyone for that matter, could vote for such a guy..... talk about how radical Islamists treat their women :teeth:

All Christians either vote for Hillary or don't vote! Yeah, right.
