The eugenics broad, the PP folks, and Cloward-Piven have proven many times what a terrible joke is being played on minorities.  And how there are no 'good intentions' whatsoever.

The progressives own them and their votes just as much as any slave was ever owned, but totally plan on obliterating them through abortion, other eugenics, and collapsing the economy on their heads so that they end up eating each other in the big cities.

The opportunities of liberty, competition, and strong families was the only hope the minorities ever had.  Only the conservatives ever offered such.  Too bad most minority votes now go for the fake 'free stuff' mantra.

What part of the ATL area do you live? A native?

I moved to Atlanta in 1992.  I live in Alpharetta.

And Bullshit back at you. The idea that all these problems only arrived with black people ignores the fact that, as a another poster pointed out, black social indicators were better than those of whites. The major difference between now and then, is the disappearance of low skill, industrial, manufacturing jobs. Once upon a time, every one could get a job down at the "mill". Those days are gone. The era when American manufacturing pretty much owned the world is over. Blacks are now sitting in cities which are the remnants of that era. Throw in abysmal schooling, and a social services system that seems designed to produce long term employment only for the social service employees.  It seems 40 years of "Liberal caring" has accomplished something 200 hundred years of slavery and 100 years of Jim Crow couldn't - the destruction of the black family and the end of the black community.

Well stated. 

I agree. I just thought mdgiles concisely described what liberal polices have done to the Black community in particular. I suspect there is a real struggle in the Black community between those cherishing the values that previously were so prominent in that community and those who have become dependent on "the system".

Because the assumption is often made that Detroit's troubles are the result if DEMOCRAT rule. It's not that simple. You have generations of teens giving birth to bastards who grow up with the morality they received from TEENS who had no legitimate fathers or mothers. It cannot be fixed with a Republican mayor or even a dictator. Detroit has passed the point of no return.  It's the CULTURE that prevents businesses from establishing themselves there. The peasants (for the most part) lack the AMERICAN work ethic. They are dependent on the Godvernment and there is simply no way out. There are no jobs. What else do they have but hand outs from the rest of the state and the feds.

Detroit is simply a microcosm of the entire US, and it goes well beyond democrat rule; nor is it a strictly black issue.

Liberals have been hard at work for decades, destroying the traditional family structure. Womens lib, religion is stupid, shacking up is cool, hooking up is cool, homosexuality, spanking kids is child abuse, abortions are great for birth control, endorsing promiscuity, live for the moment.

With each generation, they are completely screwing up greater and greater numbers of young people. And they vote.

You're right. It's good to always have hope, but when you think it through, How can it all end except total collapse? The next generation learns their morality from the previous. The saying is true, "what one generation TOLERATES, the next will EMBRACE.

Entropy, the fundamental law of physics, also governs every society. Evolution is a LIE. Thing don't evolve, they DEvolve. everything runs down eventually, including cultures, until they self-destruct.

I can't see it working out well. Even if we are able to replace our current corrupt politicians, there is nothing we can do with our millions of dumbed down citizens.

Given the chance all cultures can change and business environment can thrive through proved economic theory. All business seek the most profitable area to set up business, if Detroit cut regulation, removed minimum wage and reduced taxation then business would move to Detroit and take on the unskilled workers. Single parent household have less income but its obvious due too it being single income, but there is no correlation that single parent households have less work ethic. Single parents have double responsability, and less time/oppurtunity to keep a full time job, that combined with all women prefer part time jobs creates a difference between percieved work ethic and reality. They have no jobs due to regulation and taxation (combined with free trade with china/mexico) and for this reason are dependent on the government which in turns enforces the cycle with incentives to be on wellfare.

You state that policies can't change this because of culture, but the culture is a result of policies. Your argument is an oxymoron.

Decline is always a choice, social entropy is not a law of physics. Its a result of relativism and direct influence of communism. That all cultures and all civilizations have a life cycle comes from Oswald Spengler (among others) , but decline is always a choice if you learn from history and maintain/enforce the social values that keeps us strong.
