Public entities have the responsibility, in my view, to limit the costs to the taxpayer for public services. I failed to make that statement in my earlier post.

"Environmental Racism" has been an "issue" for years, but primarily focused on location of sewage treatment facilities. Naturally, the public entity would buy the cheapest land available which often...

Yes - wearing a mask, BTW. What do you want "helped?" I answered your question. Answer mine.

Help what?

Man, this guy talks about honestly talking about race relations - something we are precluded from doing because it isn't PC. He, however . . .

He failed America, not his agenda

Mostly what has hurt small, family owned business is regulations. I thought it relevant because it heavily affected black Americans, more than white, in my hometown and others like it. That is my...

Excuse me for butting in then, but I thought it was a group discussion. But, you quote stats and articles and I talk from experience and observation. Many black people live in small towns. In...

Small towns were still viable. Small, private businesses were profitable.

I don't know what you advocate. All I know is that you are hung up on past injustices that have been corrected but still claim they are at fault. Our country has tried and tried to make things more...

Very true

You are right, just trying to add a little levity. You're right, that is the best line. I wasn't sure if any one would recognize the song - glad you did. It is a great album.

$ 1 MM to each and every descendent of slaves? Many of the people "guilty" of white privilege don't earn $ 1 MM in their lifetime. I would say such a "reparation" would be "systemic racism." Man,...

I gave examples of where better schools were provided and they weren't allowed to work. Nutrition is provided even during the summer months to school aged disadvantaged children, at least they are...

Maybe I missed it, but I have not read any "offered solutions" made by you. So called "reparations" are inherently unfair. Social programs were intended to give the disadvantaged "better...

Care to explain? Seems to me Trump is trying to create jobs, put people to work, and benefit all Americans. If allowed, it would probably work.

Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show...

That was the plan, I suppose. I don't think it worked. Man, I know that minorities are disproportionately disadvantaged. I have compassion for them. But, it doesn't seem like our government's...

I don't know and it really isn't relevant to meeting qualifications to earn entrance into a magnet school. I have my opinions, but they really don't mean anything.

Performance. Standards were equal. What other reasonable answer could there be?

Should it? Should there be a quota system? Why don't the percentages of our FB team equal the percentages in enrollment? If there are 10% Catholics in Ruston, should Tech be mandated to be 10%...

Nonsense. Prove it.

If you are asking about the magnet schools, I don't know what percentage were white or black, but the qualification were the same. I don't see how percentages matter if qualifications are equal. ...

I don't even know what you mean. To me, you are using "buzz words" that mean absolutely nothing. Integration of schools was supposed to solve all of that. Admittedly, it is a small sample, but in...

No and yes. Does that make me a racist? What does that have to do with "systemic racism," anyway. Were I British, wouldn't that shape my experience? Wouldn't that have made my experience...
