That has shit to do with the quality of education being doled out in poorer areas. Whites are victims of crappy education systems to.

Is has nothing to do with "acting white". You don't know what you're talking about, as usual.

Also, what the hell do you know about black culture anyway? It is not a cultural thing with blacks to shun education, its a mental thing with uneducated and poor blacks on an individual basis.

The reason there victims is because of big government, shrink the size of government and get rid of the corruption

I can't take you seriously when you cant even distinguish between "there" and "their". Sorry.

So true, it's disgusting to have to share the same race as you, some illiterate donkey who can spew shit out his ass like this:

"There are many minorities who ONLY got into school because of affirmative action, this is just wrong."

Only a blithering idiot believes that because he says something it has to be true. Compare your oozing puss to what the founding fathers called self-evident.

Somebody believes in white privilege, which by nature, is a racist belief.

Minorities get a poor education because black culture shuns education as "acting white".

I mean, I would argue with you but your head is so far up ur ass, nothing I say will penetrate. Honestly, I would direct your anger at your parents for eating those lead chips before you were born.

You're part of the problem if you won't even acknowledge the truth and fact of the problem. You never left the plantation, you just joined the one the democrats built for you...voluntarily.

Do I have to come back in here and give your racist ass another smackdown?
I'll be happy if you want me to.
 
so why don't we all get a obama phone?? I'll bet all the major metro city drug dealers use obama phones.

Or is it that no matter how well designed an assistance program is, some people will either take advantage of it or feel entitled to the help? And, more importantly, that people with a political axe to grind will use those people as anecdotal evidence of a non-existent "culture of dependency".

Personally I lean towards that being the likely explanation. Just look at this thread. It's FILLED with people saying we should totally end the free phone program because of the video that started the thread. Forget people for whom a government provided phone is necessary and makes a huge difference in their lives, given that having a phone is a major requirement of being an adult in our society. None of THOSE people are in a video, therefore they must not exist and the "culture of dependency" must be all there is.

I do think there is room for improvement in how these kinds of programs are run. Identifying genuine need is good, but I doubt it's as easy as people think it is. But I don't think the smart alternative is ending them.

I don't think we disagree on any point here with the exception of you stating that there isn't a culture of dependency. I worked in the field, primarily with adolescents, and have seen it firsthand. My wife works with primarily adults and witnesses it at that level too. I think it is one thing to debate all these things as theory, it is another to actually witness it.

One huge mistake I notice both sides making, whether on purpose or not, is to be reactionary to anything the opposition states or upholds. People saying the phone program should be removed due witnessing a video of a woman who seems a bit off is not logical at all. It is an extreme example, and should really not be the cornerstone of an argument. On the other hand, reacting to people reacting to the video by dismissing the idea of a culture of dependency is also a bit reactionary.

On your last statement, I also agree it is a HUGE undertaking. Unfortunately, it seems what happens is that programs are just pushed out to give the pretense of helping people. A good example of this is Obama's healthcare plan. These programs are a necessity in society, but they need to be done right from the outset. Of course, this is much easier said than done. Especially when you have special interest groups and the general corruption of man.

I agree and I think the culture of dependency has been created due to multiple factors. Legitimate need and legitimate good will/caring for others, but also cynical vote-trolling and shortsightedness.

I personally think that people have to learn to turn off a lot of their sympathy because I think the end result of the excess of sympathy we have now will be that EVERYONE lives in starvation and squalor, and then dies. We make hard choices now, or we have far worse choices forced on us later.

I agree with your fist paragraph.

I don't think we need to turn off our compassion. I think the problem is that true compassion has been turned off too much and that programs are pushed through more due to a desire to either say that at least something was done, or to buffer feelings of self-righteousness.

I always love reading these gems. How does this guy get away with recommending people to "ammo up and prep" in pretty much every other thread that involves U.S. minorities in the OP?

Regarding the OP, clearly the woman is a nut. However, just like the guy who killed his family over the fear of Obama being re-elected, I won't judge our politicians based on the fringe of either party.

Finally, in case it isn't obvious enough, Obama clearly has nothing to do with laws passed before he was even elected.

That doesn't even make sense!
Seriously, before you attempt to insult someone at least learn to use English properly.
Of course that could overload what little brain power you have, guess you have to make choices between remembering to breath and learning to speak properly.
Edit: BTW, DIAF you stupid troll.
