I take it you're a Trump guy, ' eh? You don't think African-Americans in the inner city should be taken care of? Meh, most Trump supporters probably feel that way. Nevermind it.

So inner city black people are incapable of taking care of themselves? Please explain, and explain what Trump (or any POTUS) is supposed to do regarding this.

I don't know, I don't live in the inner-city. But something right? Who wouldn't respect a politician that would do such?

 

[bwframe]

I respect a politician wanting to give those in need a "hand up" as opposed to the current pervasive "hand out" mentality. Race shouldn't be a part of that discussion, all people should be educated on how to best help themselves rather than expecting society to do it.

Hand out tax dollars as they see fit? Me.

Sounds like a bribe for votes.

Is that how you take it when people say they want to help inner-city African-Americans?

Abdul calls it. The reps are stuck with Trump and he's certainly doing damage to the down ticket candidates and the party.

And you have dedicated your life to protecting and serving the wealthiest city in Indiana, with a black population of about 3%. Would even take a bullet for them, if it came down to it.
I'm left wondering where all this concern for the inner city is coming from.

Abdul: Republicans are stuck with Trump

Except here in Indiana.

A Trump endorsement of Pence may be exactly what he needs to get re-elected.

It was made clear that Trump was self funding through the primary, he never claimed to self fund all the way into the white house. That said, the big names want nothing to do with him.

Domesticating minorities to farm votes is slavery. I happen to believe doing such a thing is morally wrong.

It's morally wrong for politicians to help inner-city African-Americans? No one said anything about money.

Who the hell cares what color they are?? If someone is in genuine need ( think laid off a job they had for 15 years need) then yes there needs to be a safety net in place so people do not loose everything and they can remain productive members of society. I personally think the welfare system needs a total overhaul I managed a fast food restaurant for several years and had employees that would tell me they actually ended up loosing money taking even a minimum wage job as that lowered their monthly levels of welfare.

Its a situation like that I have a personal problem with, welfare should less than a minimum wage job in order to encourage people to get a job and not sit on welfare you years on end. I am also of the group that thinks mandatory drug screening would be a good idea as well because if they really need the government money then they should not have the extra cash for drugs.

And taking it further if you really wanted to help people in low socio economic areas (much like inner cities but they can be found everywhere as it is believe it or not, not just Blacks that are ignored by the "system") you need to improve the educational systems of those communities encourage people to go to College, Trade Schools anything that will give them the skills to get a good paying job and a ticket out of the slums.

If that is the case then Indiana is a lost cause. An endorsement of Pence may be what it takes to get him out of office, too. That's a double edged sword, considering that Trumps a maniac and it could reflect poorly on him, too.

 

[Dead Duck]

For those that would never vote for a Republican again. What if Trump changed his party to.....lets say.....Whig Party. They still exist right?

This way you'll feel better because you won't be voting "R" or "D". Plus his hair piece is kinda like a wig so......

If the help is directed as money/handouts to individuals, yes it is wrong.

If it is invested in infrastructure and better policing, then no.

Of course the best help would be to declare the area an economic sanctuary, and allow businesses to operate at nearly tax free levels inside the zoning, to create more and better jobs for the area.

 

[jamil]

He needs to do better than Obama. To win my vote, Trump needs to take care of African-Americans... we've been mistreated for so long. Then, I believe his campaign isn't racist.

What does "take care of" mean?

Why do you need specifics? It's not self-explanatory?

Well some in govt know that certain people need an extra hand. Trumpsters, don't. I don't quite understand why his supporters are like that. They seem to eat out of the man's hand.

Kut, it's sounding an awful lot like you're trying to hint at handouts without actually saying it. Why? What are you trying to get people's to say?

No one here wants the government to take care of them. I don't. What else do you think this audience would think "taken care of" means?

What is wrong with inner city is that kids' parents aren't good role models. Kids don't learn personal responsibility and treating people like they want to be treated. Kids don't learn the right lessons of consequences. They're not taught accountability. They're not taught the value of life. The problems in inner city can't really be soleved by government, though government could help by stpping pollicies that exacerbate the problem and help people get off of government dependency. The more we "take care of" inner city, the worse it has gotten. The logical conclusion of government "taking care of" blacks is Detroit.

Hooray! The Hoosier State finally earned its way onto your "Texas List!"

(PS - Canada has super fishing. You know, case you're interested).

The problem can be solved by government, I fully believe.

It would be solved within months of enacting a near 0% tax rate for businesses and corporations who wish to move to those areas. Ultimately that's why those areas have fell apart, industry left. Gary is a prime example.

Sounds like social engineering.
