« It was the association of civil rights legislation with John F Kennedy and Lyndon Banes Jonson that solidified Black loyalty to the Democratic Party for good. JFK proposed and LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which outlawed public discrimination. LBJs Republican opponent, Barry Goldwater, opposed it garnering Johnson 94% of the black vote that year, which was a record until 2008. Johnson later signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

« By this time the majority of Blacks had become Democrats. By 2016 only 8% of African Americans considered themselves Republicans. Although 88% of African Americans voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, only 70% consider themselves democrats. Over the last 40 years, Black Americans have consistently voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic presidential candidate. The most votes any Republican candidate received from Blacks since 1968 was Gerald Ford in 1976 (15%). »

The dynamic of the black community within the US has changed quite a bit over the years. Now there are, in most states, laws that protect African Americans jobs and their education, through more scrutiny against discrimination. As well as more encouragement for getting jobs, or for getting into colleges with affirmative action laws.

The laws might not be the best at changing the culture to let African Americans come into a job market or into a college in larger numbers, but they are a foot in the door. That on it's own affects discrimination by showing that these people can do as good as white populations. And over the years I've seen more acceptance of black people then there is recorded in the history books leading up to civil rights movements and the progressive steps to protect black populations.

Now we live in a different state of affairs towards the black community. The situation has changed dramatically away from battling opportunity and showing that black and white are as capable as each other, into a different situation of just getting out of poverty, and getting rid of the scars that are left over from discrimination.

Scars that now fuel a different set of reasons to discriminate. Black communities are now associated more with crime, and violence. The reasons that caused African American families to break down are no longer there but created the scars that keep the African American people stuck, unable to break free.

What's now needed to break away from discrimination is for the black community to have their children make better decisions in their relationships, and to have stable relationships. Have that, and the standard to be a good man, or a good woman will be it's own force of change on the community.

Through stable families, violence and crime will lessen in the black community to match the amount in any other demographic instead of exceeding it. Remove that element and the discrimination against African Americans will be reduced because there will no longer be the fear of crime or violence.

Violence and crime are now what fuel discrimination. As long as those are present in the black communities, discrimination will continue because of it.

The best answer that I have for this dynamic without contuing to fuel the issue (between police profiling vs removing police powers and increasing crime rates altogether), is to have a stable family foundation to ride it out and to fight the influences that cause more crime and violence.

what emboldens the feral thugs is the cowardice of leadership. Much of it is female like here in Australia or emasculated males who are just to gutless to back the police force (now service) against anarchy. To think many of these cowards are suppose to be protecting us from facist like Antifa is a joke. Here in Australia if it wasn't for men like Abbott and Dutton we would be seeing tens of thousands of illegals coming on boats. We are now seeing facist leftist thugs increasing in power as gutless politicians bow their knees to these mob. Oh for a Thatcher or Trump here.

runner,

You're absolutely spot on.

Lets elect Neanderthals into government and if we
run out of Neanderthals there's plenty of monkeys
and gorillas in the zoos.

Foxy,

Please stop bad mouthing homo sapiens neanderthalensis.

I hope you're aware that their descendants still walk among us (no clues but you might think LOUDmouth and Shadow Minister.)
