PKJones singing music to my ears. Yeah, me too. But I do think that there's something to be said about those who abuse the system-- the few that I've met feel like there's never really any other option there for them. It isn't FUN to barely scrap by on hand-outs. You don't just wake up one day and decide to take that lifestyle-- life kicks you to the curb, repeatedly, and you feel like that it's all you'll ever be able to accomplish. That's been my experience working with the homeless.

But that's what it's all about though. Levelling the playing field for all. Recognizing where it's not equal, and trying to do something about it. We're all brothers here, and we all bleed the same blood. Fear the same fears, experience the same joys, laugh at the same jokes.

I don't believe "leveling the playing field" is the answer.
That sounds like all sorts of artificial.
It's hard work.

Look where, for example, blacks are today versus whether they were 100 years ago.
Don't steal from them, you, us, or others. Make it about clawing your way and make it sustainable.
Handouts aren't.

Truth is whites aren't holding blacks back. It's whites creating more opportunity for blacks.
Period.

Blacks mostly know this and appreciate the progress, imo.

If there's a race not progressing it's the American Indians. And, again, it's not whites conspiring against them.

Stop the excuses and move forward.

I love all people and will support them all with what I can.. But I have ZERO ears for excuses that are overly general.

Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

Cute.

I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone.
But nice patent response.

Any original ideas?
 
All this reminds me of that sickening scene in 'Crash' ... with the well off black couple and the white cop sexually molesting her with that body search.



I know it's just a movie, but that scene to me was really hard to watch...



Anyone else saw that scene?
