Beats me?
Third verse is especially good:
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might
Led us into the...
Nobody said that (which makes it a, you guessed it! Straw man!)…and you didn’t answer my question.
My experience is anecdotal, but that’s not the case in the black fathers I know.
But, my question (I’ll concede your figure for the moment) is why do you think that’s the case?

I agree, but a lot of folks were in a position to choose between being responsible and getting paid...and more than a few administrators didn’t help themselves out by having lax policies or...
Many of whom didn’t want to miss a paycheck...especially early on when many thought this was “just the flu”.

Gorsuch's opinion should be required reading. Here's the best bit:
Right...such a charge flies in the face of everything we know about our pure hearted, not cheating, very stable genius!
:laugh:
I thought he addressed the economic strains (including mass incarceration) that make it very difficult for black men to provide and stay out of jail for offenses that many white folks would only get...
Got no response huh? The video made a lot of points I’ve already made. You’ve crowed a lot about a refusal to discuss, but you’re the chief refuser.
Frisco, have you watched the video I posted yet? There are plenty of bad arguments out there. Why not engage the good ones?

So, logically, you must believe there is something inherent in the races that are under represented as you believe there is an equality of opportunity right?
Sorry for my short response earlier...I was driving.
I think your perception (which I've heard from a number of people) has been repeated over and over by those on the right to tie true equality...
Did you watch?
Well worth the 18 minutes...especially for those of you who think everything has been "equal" since the late sixties.

No, I saw your comments. They seem to imply that you think the education system is not serving the black community as it should. Glad we agree.
Can't comment on the black students at your school,...
I think you're inferring that because it bugs you. I don't recall defending the North on race relations. I was actually agreeing with your point about liberals and racism (at least, in the 1930s). As...
I guess whataboutism just doesn't blow my skirt up the way it does some of y'all.
I'm no FDR fan. I don't understand why the memorials matter anyway. It's not like we lose the history if we lose some metal bust.
Redlining was still legal a decade after Jim Crow ended. It's technically illegal now, but still very much in practice. Home ownership is a huge part of building wealth and stability. That's a...
