    Kids ain't racking up felonies in high school. I'm talking crime but as far as young black males overall the issue isn't criminal records

    This is a made up liberal issue, criminal records

    Poor black kids are not improving because they read Jacobin and watch TYT telling them how tough they have it. That's right.

    God damn you are a dumbass.

    Yeah you have
    If I got $20 for every time you have pointed out that there are black ghetto people and that you are indeed black I would have enough to purchase a Tesla. Only the least expensive Tesla 3 but still a Tesla.

    @pgabriel I appreciate your service in making conservative ideology look really stupid but I think that's enough of your schtick. You can stop it now and not play some stupid conservative. It's getting too obvious.

    Because there is insufficient support in the Senate to change the law. Maybe in the House and the Presidency as well. Tax law changes all the time, and it appears that these billionaires were compliant. Anyone who has made money off investment is generally pretty happy it is not taxed as regular income.
    According to the Democrats, some amount significantly more than he has paid.

    Wut?

    Billionaires don't generally have a salary. They make capital gains. The highest capital gains rate is 20%.

    That means a billionaire who made 20 million dollars in capital gains in a year is paying the same tax rate as a American with an income of 50 grand through income tax.

    I think that's what people mean by it isn't a fair share.

    Being honest about ghetto dysfunction and stop talking about racism

    We have done everything we can legally do about racism but the issue is being honest about problems. People are worried about not being offending blacks

    WTF are you talking about?

    They most certainly do.

    They are far more likely to go to jail when white kids are given a warning.

    You don't have a clue.

    so if we just pretend the problem doesn't exist, it will magically go away and blacks will no longer live in the ghetto.

    You have no clue. It doesn't matter, the criminal records that prevent hiring on jobs this kids would be seeking are theft and assault

    Nobody gives a fuq about weed

    Racism isn't the problem. Education, lack of understanding of what it takes to get hired etc are the problems

    Young black males have problems with employment more than black women


    I'm not going to rehash this argument for the hundredth.

    My proof is reality. You guys act like the government does nothing about racism. The government has been addressing racism for over 50 years and poor blacks are in the same place

    Just so you know a white with a criminal record is almost as likely to get a callback for a job interview as a black with zero criminal record. Whites with a criminal record get a call back 22% of the time. Blacks without a criminal record get a call back 25% of the time.

    I will post a link to the study in case you have any questions about how the research was conducted.

    Feel free to not read it, and then get upset when I don't tell you what it said.

    @Sweet Lou 4 2 or anyone

    Is the murder rate among blacks a result of racism?
