    Get real. We're not all born to become some Einstein. That's called... a talent.

    Because apartheid rule was wide spread.
    nope
    How about you go debunk my sources with something substantial.

    Obama lived with his stepfather who was the director of the Institute of Management Education and Development.
    That paved the way to buying him a good private education his entire life.
    White people distributed their wealth from black people for centuries, that's where it went wrong for black people.

    My source clearly points out that WHITE people use mor drugs.
    but BLACK people get 6 times STOPPED and SEARCHED.
    Being stopped and searched doesn't you GOT drugs.
    You just made that all up.

    It has everything to do with it,... since the average white person is much more richer than the average black person. And it all can be directly be pointed back to the thug racist oppression of the white population for centuries... only ending it in the 1960's.

    Dude, you distribute your wealth to someone not from someone. You are correct, wealthy white people distribute part of their income to black people. They also distribute some of it to Hispanics, Asians and even poor White people. People who become dependent on these handouts are a problem. For them it is time to get off their knees and make their own way.

    Again, I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

    No, it has nothing to do with the original discussion....at all. I suggest going back to see how the discussion started. But since you mention it, everything I've said still applies. If you're poor, you are given ample opportunity in this country to better yourself and if you work hard, you can succeed. Nothing makes that impossible like you originally tried to imply. Those opportunities and assistance are available to all races too so I'm not sure why you had to make this about race. That's yet another thing the discussion had nothing to do with.

    I don't see anything illegal with it, so if people want to donate, then so be it.

    You still claim that people stopped and searched = people who got drugs.
    But it's not the case.

    They do. Making bad decisions that negatively effect you and those around you was your freedom to fail at that opportunity.

    If you fail in school then have a baby without getting married with no money, no one else forced you to do those things. You had the freedom to fail. Sadly your bad decisions sometimes have ramifications on others making their opportunities harder. But that’s called personal responsibility and some people seem to have a problem with accepting the consequences of their failures and blame others.

    Well... 2 things. The difference between teen pregnancies between black and whites is just 20 per 1000. So it's utterly ridiculous to claim that the bulk of the black population is poor because of that difference. The other thing is that you completely avoid to comment on the money opens all the doors if you have it. America aint some communist paradise where the lack of money does not matter.

    Money only gets you so far and you need a lot of it to be able to buy your way through life. You’re talking an extreme minority. How tough do you think Will Smith’s or Obamas kids are going to have it? Serena Williams kid? They have more than me so I’d like some of it thanks. Lebron shouldn’t be allowed to have so much either. I certainly deserve half his stuff. ;)

    If you don’t have enough money work your butt off and get it. No one else is going to do it for you. I understand you beleive how much effort and work you do, shouldn’t have any effect on outcome, but that’s because you’re a have not. You’re just jealous and bitter of the the haves. Not a healthy way to live, but not surprising reading your posts. Sad.

    It gets you the education needed to qualify for good jobs.

    Ah. So you admit that it does work out with money the way I say it is. And you know what the difference is between Obama/Williams is vs the bulk of the white population? The first 2 worked hard on their own, the white population obtained it through racial oppression for centuries ending it only in the 1960's thanks to the US government they installed. So you go place how the guilt and the morals work out on this.

    I noticed you dropped that teen pregnancy thing like a brick. I do question why you brought up fake news. It seems to fit a classic agenda.

    You can become a millionaire with no education And any education issues are in the hands of Democrats who’ve controlled it for decades. And even then, average education is still enough to get you into college. Have to work hard though and that’s the rub.

    And I didn’t drop anything. Single parent homes are far greater in the black community. I didn’t specify teen pregnancy. You did. Nice try claiming I said something I didn’t. And sorry but blacks today aren’t slaves. Their parents weren’t slaves either.

    But thanks for admitting hard work pays off. Big shock it leads to success no matter what color you are.

    So what’s your excuse? How many white peole have prevented you from succeeding?

    Ah. And why are so many people in the US no education? Is it, because the change you achieve that is utterly and utterly slim? Good grieve, you're coming up with an enormous amount of bs.

    Oh what does that matter? The black population is poor regardless if they are a single parent or not.
    Well I haven't heard you comment how the US aint some communist paradise where all opportunities are there regardless if you got money.

    Dude... wtf do you not get that this is above your comprehension? I am trying to be kind to you. Just ****ing walk away. Claim victory, I don't give a ****. Continuing to argue with you becomes cruel at some point because you don't have the faculties to understand. Shoo now.

    Never said that. I'm well aware that this is the only way you can respond though.

    It works. I went to a Lib bar in town and told them I was Portuguese and would anyone buy me a drink in reparations. I was surprised how many suffered from white guilt and bought me drinks.

    I stopped responding to him. There’s an obvious defect occurring that makes it too difficult to continue the exchange. ;)

    Right back at ya. My source clearly says white people use the most drugs. And black people get stopped and searched for drugs 6 times more often. The end. You just made up that black people carry drugs 6 times more often. It undoubtedly fits your bias agenda, hence you won't back down to your fake news.

    Indeed. But you're not taking that into account one tiny bit as well, because it kills your agenda. Your idea that in capitalistic US of A, you get the same opportunities after an education you did costing you virtually nothing, compared to costing you a massive amount of money,.. is just insane.

    This is perpetuating stupidity. How long are we going to cry over spilled milk and enable the "poor me" syndrome.

    That said - I do recognize that there are still systemic issues that should be addressed but, we focusing bad deeds that happened 200 years ago - deeds which have been addressed (last time I checked we no longer have slavery) serves only to divert attention away from the real issues.
