There is a member who came on here very subtle and we believe he is part of a white supremacy group. I did not deal with the thread much but it on this board and started by him: JosephMorgan. Maybe that is the one you are talking about?

Sophia, great post!. I do understand perfectly how a middle class working person feels about all the taxes they must pay to those people who didn't make wise choices, I would be upset if I was there too.
But for me, instead of attacking the person itself, they should analyze the real problem and the real issue here is not from a couple of years ago but it comes way from the time blacks reached to the United States. I'm not trying to justify anything but if we are honest enough we will know that black people in the whole history of the world have always been put down and not given the proper rights...so how can we expect them to do better when nobody has given them proper care, rights and attention from generations ago?.

There is no question that prior to the civil rights movement there were great inequities committed. Â Nor do I doubt that individual racism still exists. Â The question is whether current poverty levels are a result of that or of some other factor. Â Many including yourself assume that history is the only factor.
But that is an assumption not substantiated by facts. Â Billions have been spent to reverse the patterns of discrimination. Â There have been special pre-school programs, adult eduction programs and affirmative action programs which gives preference in admission to schools and in hiring. Â
There is a legal term, contributory negligence - which means while someone else may be at fault - you too have contributed to the accident. Â Well history had a role and the US government has worked to reverse it. Â The black community themselves (or some of them) also have a role - they need to take responsibility for that role just as the US Govt had to take responsibility for its actions. Â Only then will a solution be found. IMHO
I just hope someone can be found that will help open up real dialogue that will find real solutions to these problems. Â I fear that racism will escalate otherwise.

I doubt there will be any such liberator or should I say 'joiner' or maybe even 'unifier'. The reaosn I say this is because it is not really based on race as much as the inner selfishness of each human being. Race is the excuse, if it were not race it would be height, if not height then weight and so on. In history you can find many examples of one person liberating his race or culture from another race or culture, but seldom if any do you see two distinct races being merged in co-operation to form union to the point that everything is seen as one.

I am amazed that this isn't common knowledge in the US:
CAPS FLY -- A FIRST FOR BILINGUAL SCHOOL
Hispanics are among the fastest-growing minority groups in the country, but some
Hispanic leaders say Americans are unaware that too many Latinos live on the
fringes of society and struggle at the edge of poverty.

Could it be that the language is a 'fence', or is it that the native US citizens don't want anyone 'new'... what is it that keeps two groups so far apart?

Is there a difference? I wish there were more black US Citizens here to answer it. By the way, saying, 'Black' in my opinion is more racial than saying 'negro' or 'African-American' or 'Afro-American' since it actually focuses on color rather than culture.
DIFFERENT -- NOT DEFICIENT
Different doesn't mean deficient. That was a central message of the civil rights movement, and it continues to bear itself out in scholarly research on the differences between African-Americans and European Americans, according to one of the nation's most successful black preachers.

Former Employees: Planned Parenthood Abortion Business Racist
Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- A group of black and Hispanic employees have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that they were treated in a racist manner by officials at a Planned Parenthood abortion business in southern California. The complaints, filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the California Fair Employment & Housing Administration, were made by several male staff members. The former Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles staffers say the abortion facility is directed by white women who have created a hostile workplace environment for men and minority employees. One complaint from a black employee accuses a PPLA official of referring to him with a racial slur. "I am African and was shocked by her cultural insensitivity," the complainant said in an affidavit. "I immediately placed my concerns in writing and requested disciplinary action with the human resources department at PPLA. Nothing ever happened to my complaint," according to the sworn testimony. "In fact, I was later put on probation by a female supervisor and then terminated." Richard Ackerman, an attorney who is representing the complainants, said the allegations represented a "sad state of affairs" at the PPLA office.
