Part of the discussion here is about large groups of poor people stuck in a rut. Blame me for that it’s o.k. We have discussed racial aspects of that due to the thread being about the black people of Ferguson, crime, white cops , education, poverty, and other things.Don’t forget the Black Jesus.
Race is part of the context of what has been said. That said, I wouldn’t be too impressed if Laura Bush had been passionate about gardening either. I will be impressed when the poverty , violence and misery of large groups of people is improving not getting worse.
Brian, I have never been against welfare in my life. I would never say,” grow your own vegetables and get off welfare”. I think the way it worked out debilitating lots of people was due to negative policies.. The grow your vegetables commentary was about the some what irresponsible food desert comments and I said what the response would be from many people in the “food desert” based on my having lived in one with decendants of slaves ,if you suggested they grow their own vegetables. I think many people would still say it. BG, Lots of the white people would make excuses too, even in my family. Too be even fairer to me, which is totally appropriate, the food desert was brought out as a black equality issue when it came out in the public.
Like I said before,Brian, I don’t know where you get these ideas about what I said…other than maybe knee jerk reactions or maybe being a troll. Reminds me of the time Sdrealtor and others got tired of you, and you got kicked off the blog.
