    That article did not address the statistics of those in poverty, regardless of race. It was basically a rant against black people and something that would be shared on stormfront. I appreciate you being transparent with your thinking, though.

    I'm watching developments in Cape Town closely, the Coloureds have been discriminated against more under the ANC Bantu tribes than they were under the Apartheid government. There are some of the coloureds flying the old South African flag in protest of their treatment by the ANC.

    The ANC Bantu is now sending the SADF into the Cape Flats, where an oppressed minority are complaining their social economic issues are not being addressed. How the ANC deal with this minority will speak volumes on what will come in South Africa's near future as there are many minorities suffering under the ANC.

    You are erroneously treating symptoms as the cause!

    Start from the beginning instead.

    What causes poverty?

    Here is a hint, there is a MASSIVE wealth disparity in our nation today.

    How and why did that occur?

    Exactly. The person you replied to is angry but he doesn't realize what he is angry about.

    Here is a list of the places where the military is being deployed and against that I have shown the percentages of blacks and coloreds in those areas where there was available data from these sources.

    https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...e-army-will-be-deployed-in-cape-town-20190712

    http://www.citypopulation.de/php/southafrica-cityofcapetown.php

    The 10 precincts identified by Cele are:

    - Bishop Lavis; no data found

    - Mitchells Plain; C 90%, B 7%

    - Delft; C 51%, B 46%

    - Elsies River; C 90%, B 7%

    - Nyanga; C >1%, B 99%

    - Khayelitsha; C >1%, B 99%

    - Mfuleni; C 3%, B 96%

    - Philippi; C 8%, B 90%

    - Kraaifontein; C >40%, B 43%

    - Manenberg. no data found

    Coloreds are MAJORITY of the population in 2 of those areas and have EQUALITY with blacks in two others. In all of the other areas the blacks 90% plus majorities.

    Your allegation about "coloreds" being "oppressed" is NOT supported by the data. There is definitely evidence in the data that the apartheid segregation policies have not entirely been eliminated as yet but it appears as though the crime is spread out across both colored and black areas.

    Furthermore it looks as if this has nothing at all to do with "oppression" and everything to do with a serious effort at eliminating crime from these areas.

    Yup!

    66% of Americans have now lost both the opportunity and the hope of ever achieving the "American Dream" because of the nefarious Republican/Libertarian fiscal malfeasance policies that have stripmined the wealth of the middle class and given it to the wealthy instead. This destruction of the "social contract" is what is causing so much anger and resentment amongst those who felt "entitled" to it just by being born white. Eventually they might come to realize that they have far more in common with the rest of America than they do with their wealthy oppressors. Not holding my breath waiting for that to happen. ;)

    Agreed!

    Per Andrew Yang automation is going to eliminate the jobs of millions of hardworking middle class Americans in the next decade or two. This will further enrich the wealthy who no longer have to pay the wages while impoverishing people who are already in debt with mortgage, car and college loans to pay off. The defaults alone will cause a market collapse.

    Scary stuff. Then because of the collapse we will bail out the financial institutions and not the citizens.

    Unfortunately you are right!

    I have been doing some research and I have come to the conclusion that we need more Worker Owned Businesses in America. The primary reason being that the corporate profits end up in the pockets of those who were responsible for generating those profits. That keeps the money within the local communities where the workers/owners live and ensures that everyone has a better standard of living.

    This is NOT socialism since these Worker Owned Businesses are For Profit corporations competing in a Capitalism based economy. The only difference is who ends up with the profits. Rather than just a handful of wealthy people taking those profits offshore it stays where it will do most good in terms to helping people to life better and happier lives.

    Oh yeth right....I get it .....anyone who reports black crime is a racist.

    That is the narrative that the globalists, the msm and the democratic party run with....despite how fallacious it is.

    The truth is being suppressed ...a little more each day....but in America it is still available...you just have to try a little harder to get it as in you cannot come home from work plop down in your lazy boy and flick on the t.v. and expect to get the truth....what you will get on cnn and the rest of the alphabet media is essentially propaganda.

    This is no secret...most conservatives understand it very well...yet too many still are not woke...this must be ended...we cannot afford any longer to just absorb ourselves in our daily routines and hope for the best. At least not if you want the America we all knew, grew up with and loved --to survive, prosper and get back on the right track.

    Oh don't give me that horse crap. I worked close to 70 hours this week, and I am very content in my life, I just don't share your views on America and what it means to be a citizen. It doesn't make me wrong or you wrong, it just means we have a different perspective.
