You are unable to answer 2 very simple and straight forward questions because you have your head so far up the ass of left wing dogma. I'm convinced you could do a lot better if you'd free yourself to think for yourself. I will help you out a little here. Me: >>Can you define the (racial) injustice that currently exists. Even though our legal system, education system, employment sector, and leisure lifestyles fully support and actively promote the advancement of minority groups we fall short in a few areas of accomplishing what we have striven for. In the case of African Americans, the positive changes we have sought have been particularly disappointing. The poverty rate is higher among blacks, more African-Americans drop out of school, so the higher wages associated with a college degree are less likely. Black representation in influential politics is less effective since it isn't well balanced. The things you promote are social programs designed to take care of these populations at a subsistence level, in exchange for their loyalty at the voting booth. This is bound to fail if the goal is to advance the demographic in mainstream life. If the demographic were to advance in mainstream life we would see the normal curve of 50/50 liberal and conservative representation. That would be a wonderful accomplishment but one that you can't even begin to deal with. To begin with individuals are responsible for themselves and their accomplishments but if the required resources and supports are not in place, no one can accomplish a significant goal. Focus on community development and you cure 90% of the problems faced by disadvantaged populations. Me>>"Second question: When that percentage normalizes to 50/50 conservative and liberal, which it is bound to do eventually, are you going to be happy?" That would be a fantastic accomplishment and the thought of it horrifies you. You've been seen here acting hatefully toward any conservative black person who gets mentioned. That is the picture you are painting with your life.
