[QUOTE="intojoy, post: 63813080, member: 333545"] Someone asked if blacks were better off 50 years ago than today. I haven't been watching them outside of pernell Whitaker or evander Holyfield (two believers). But is like to give my observation on that question. Obviously it was much worse then for brothers because of the idiots running around thinking that they were better, faster, stronger, smarter. However looking at what democracy had to offer a group of people who had the unique history of being enslaved by their fellow countrymen, the fact is that democracy is not God's plan for humanity and it's evident in the lack of ability to better the black community as a whole. Yes other groups have societal challenges like fatherless homes but only the black people had been enslaved, demonized and oppressed by America which is why it presents such a test case for the democratic experiment. Democracy will only work when the majority of the populace are moral people. Once the majority becomes immoral democracy moves from being a moral system of prosperity into a pragmatic society where one only does what's right as it benefits themselves. From pragmatism it will move into hedonism and from hedonism to anarchy and finally military dictatorship. People laugh at the idea of paying blacks money for their ancestors slavery, me too, but its only laughable because we've become and gone beyond pragmatism. If 50 years ago the government did something like giving blacks special dispensations to start businesses without taxation for a period of time then it would have changed the black community as some stereotype it today. I don't have any confidence in our politicians but I'm glad I was born American and I thank God for the grace to live here and I'm especially grateful for her armed forces. Too bad the Gov doesn't give a scenario to the veterans to start business similar to my example, they won't. [/QUOTE]
