Republican philosophy in a nutshell. It is refreshing to see a 'pug who is unafraid to show his true colors.

True colors? Yeah, black Republicans are too busy working. If you are trying to insinuate that I am a racist, well, then you're an ignorant moron.

I don't have to insinuate anything. Your post says it all.

....and you're just like all the other Democrats shouting hollow accusations because someone isn't being politically correct. NEWSFLASH: I'm NOT politically correct and if the truth that most thugs in prison and most thugs on the street vote Democrat, that is, thinks someone owes them something, tough shiznit. I have MANY black friends, they're just not Democrat.

Yeah, Kev. I seriously doubt any thugs follow political persuasions. I firmly believe thugs breaking into autos are apolitical (apolitical means they don't follow or care about politics). But, to confirm, the next time I run into a thug, I'll ask who they vote for or who they favor in political races.

More on the education system and political parties:

You said the republicans control Madison County and therefore the schools up there will do better. First there aren't but 2 republicans on the MadCo. school board and secondly, Chickasaw County in North Miss. has a Republican dominated school board, yet Chickasaw county schools have been seriously deficient for years compared to other school districts.

I reiterate: school problems and education problems go back to whom is hired to teach. You get some 23 year old right out of college who majored in education and he/she can't teach sh*t, because they didn't learn sh*t while in college. Seeking a BA or BS in education is a big waste.
Another thing school boards do is focus entirely too much on athletics and as per state laws, they hire dumbarses to teach history and english (because they can coach). This only short-changes the kids in public schools.

As long as the National Dept of Ed is controlled by a bunch of EDd's (those with a doctorate in edu.) our public ed. system will always be screwed up. Those people try to justify their profession and focus very poorly on improving public ed.

Kev, thugs in prison don't have the right to vote.

Even if they did, I doubt they would vote.

C'mon, you really don't believe criminals like that vote, do you?

Criminals do vote, like the former Enron chief and the Worldcom chief. They vote Repugnican! :drink:

Why did you mention race?

....because Mr. Not Living In Reality and Mr. Not Knowing Anything About Jackson Mississippi, West Jackson's crime is caused primarily by black people.

Hello, I'm reality, have we met?

....and KD, all one has to do is look at the demographics of West Jackson and see how the votes are cast to prove my point. Hell, ANY inner-city for that matter.

You are trying to prove a point?

What point?

I thought you were arguing that criminals have the right to vote from their prison cells.

I thought we were primarily talking about public ed. and why it's such a failure.

I thought you were trying to convince us that you are not a racist.

You've been jumping back and forth from topic to topic, it is durn hard to keep up with what it is you are arguing and what it is you are not arguing.

First you say Madison County, MS has a GOP controlled school board and then you say you have black friends. What does one have to do with the other?

Since point one, made by you, about Madison County is false, I conclude the second point you made, about having black friends is also false.

What does having black friends mean, anyway? I know plenty of racists with black friends! I know black racists who have black friends and I know black and white racists who have white friends.

Finally, what the heck does race have to do with anything? We were discussing how and why our public ed. system is a failure. You said it's a democrat/republican thing and I said, no, it is a education/no-education thing. Educated voters make better decsions than non-educated voters--that is my point. Do you agree, disagree? If so, why?

Did I say that? Stop trying to twist words. You trying to brand me something doesn't bother me. It works on many; me? Never.

I know prisoners can't vote KD. As far as trying to "convince" you guys I'm not a racist, well, let's just say I don't have to convince you of anything. It bothers me not one bit that a member of a party that has held back black people in the South for YEARS calls ME a racist.

So now you are trying to call me a democrat!

Well, I'm an independent and I pride myself on calling it like I see it. I thought I've explained this to you previously!

Nonetheless, Kev! We were having a discussion on education and regardless of what party or parties I support, had nothing to do whatsoever with the deplorable condition our public ed. system is suffering from nationally!

Let's keep the argument about one thing per thread, please. So with that in mind, open a massive RebelKev loves black mommas thread to prove you aren't a racist!

If you had said "poor" it could reasonably be inferred that you included it because poverty can be considered a root cause of crime. However, you said "black".

That's a crock. Poverty doesn't create crime. Lack of Morals creates crime and that's where the Democrats come in. Conservartives in general don't think everyone owes them something. How much crime, aside from organized, happened during the Great Depression as opposed to today? The crime in West Jackson is primarily caused by black people and that area is almost ENTIRELY Democrat. Truth hurts.

C'mon RebelKev, less than 30% of the population of the wards that comprise W. Jackson vote. You can't say they're entirely Democrat. You could say the majority cares very little about politics, and the majority that votes are Democrats. But you cannot say with an level of seriousness that W. Jackson is entirely democrat!

Here's a way in which poverty creates and is a root cause of crime:
Poor kid grows up in poverty. Everyone around him is poor, except for the local drug dealer and his/her "employees." Kid can't play sports. Kid works part time job at McDonald's and realizes this is all the opportunity he has in life, because his school system sucks. Kid soon realizes that if he/she wants to make it out of the ghetto, then they need to sell drugs, because that is the only growth sector of their neighborhoods! So the kid sells dope and then that encompasses a bunch of other crimes.

yeah, morality has something to do with it, but that is not the only explanation for crime. It also has to do with opportunities or the lack thereof.
