Blacks Commit The Most Murders, Police Shoot More Whites

Like clockwork.

If there is a mass shooter and he's white you can BET on pgabs showing up with this same tired old topic.

 

Steve Harvey isn’t special, he but he has charisma and common sense and was willing to do what was necessary and dd it the right way - He found his gift thru 2 things : Attitude and Effort

 

Steve Harvey Calls BLM Protests 'One of the Greatest Movements Since the Civil Rights Movement'
https://people.com/tv/steve-harvey-...st-movements-since-the-civil-rights-movement/

Just wanted to put this out here because you made a post about how Steve would never complain about such things, maybe you are right, that he never complained about it, but it looks like he realizes it does exist.

Ignoring a problem doesn't mean it goes away.

So since you do admire Harvey, I think he's an admirable person as far as I know, maybe consider that his feelings on race issues, feelings that many like him have expressed, are real feelings and are not coming out of nowhere.

 

Listen I don’t have to agree with everything someone says as a virtue - one of my daughters is a leftist while the other is mini roxran and a believer in capitalism, I love them both the same ..he has a right to call BLM what he wants and he is entitled to that

however…that doesn’t change his message about how to approach life in a capitalistic society and embrace it and better yourself and that is what I AM AGREEING with- it is his holistic stance about doing what is right and working hard and skin color, lack of school or home status NOT holding anyone back …
Absolutely if more blacks, whites, browns, yellows, reds, pinks, polka dots thought the same way …would BLM necessarily need to exist today? Probably not because we would be making smarter choices

 

See this is where you're wrong Stephen....

I actually talked to my elderly family members this weekend and I actually asked if they thought times are better are worst?

The majority stated todays times are scarier now... Back then they knew what was ahead of them and what they had to face, they were prepared for all of the racism and difficulties of moving forward.... But in todays times, there is no more hiding behind hoods or using codes words (like Trump) to state someone is not white... It's all wide open and in right there in front of you...

See Stephen, you have been in the house for so long you have no ideal of what is really happening outside...

Wow, pgabs can still get a thread with over 100 posts with the same bullshit.

How can people still take the bait?

 

That's not my question. My question is whether you think the median white family works 1000% harder or more effective than the median black family as that is the wealth gap between the two median households.

Most of us try to work hard. Are you saying the 1000% difference is accounted for by work ethics between the two races?

 

LOL!!!!!

So when things GET BETTER!!!! I will Let People Know!!!!

I don’t know - what I do know if more people had a Steve Harvey mindset there would be increased examples of people having success

 

I've been in a mtg since 7am, so pgabs is keeping me entertained so I don't fall a sleep....

He kills me...

we're too busy working, que no

 

You understand for your conclusion to make any sense you first have to answer my question.

Is the 1000% wealth gap between median households of these two races atrirvuted to difference in work ethic culture between the two races?

If the answer is "no", then your suggestion to solve that massive difference makes no sense. You understand this concept right?

 

There are definitely people that HAVE been held back because of their race though and people that have been killed just because of their race and being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Like Arbery. He was 25 years old when he was killed for being black in the wrong neighborhood, was he held back?

Or instances like the GI Bill.

You can say "Yes, you can still work hard and be successful no matter what!" That is true. I mean, I'm sure you've seen the commercial featuring Hansel Emmannuel, the one armed basketball player that has D1 schools recruiting him. Now sure, he's proven that even with one arm you can play basketball but two arms is definitely preferable. His success doesn't mean kids should start chopping off their weak arm it just means that despite the obstacles he was able to find success. In the future, should tech allow it, my guess is that such a player would opt to have their second arm instead of being an against all odds success story.

The point being that the playing field isn't completely fair and as long as that is the case people will 'complain' about its unfairness.

black people have historically and presently have had obstacles in front of them. You're saying that is his holistic stance but ignoring that he clearly thinks racism is a big problem and a problem he's tired of dealing with it.

 

@JayGoogle , I don’t doubt circumstances can prevent success. If I lost my leg , my impact to earn would be gone. Everyone has obstacles and life can be unfair. Someone can be killed any day for any reason like a truck falling over on a convertible or crime , etc …but there is only two things anyone can control is effort and attitude and my stance is whether everyone finds their gift and pursues it with the E&A then we would see less crime because success increases.

if Steve Harvey can do it with everything thought to be against him : skin color, schooling, home status, etc …than anyone can do it by developing the right approach. There are no guarantees in life but Steve shows the way. My question is are we ignoring what Steve Harvey has accomplished and how he has accomplished it? Are we ignoring his message?

 

I disagree, my conclusion makes sense because Steve Harvey made the blueprint of what he spoke of work,…Steve could have become down and claim life is unfair and things could have went against him but he developed the concept of finding your gift and the power of ten and promoting concepts of the family unit to better yourself.

He is the example of what works and what makes sense. Interestingly enough once I examined the message of Steve Harvey and implemented it in my business. Guess what? My success doubled. Because I looked at what he was saying and having that approach…had nothing to do with my color. (I’m mixed anyways lol)

thank you Steve Harvey for helping me reinforce how to approach my work life to have greater success. My hope is others will be willing to listen and learn from you as well

 

What if it's a White person identifying as Black?

That isn’t her gift. The effort wasn’t there AND she didn’t pull it off IMHO
Your Gift. The thing you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort. – Steve Harvey
