How may times are you going to say this only to "renege" later?

Here is an excellent analysis (by a black American journalist) of why so many of our black males are caged.

We need to support our black youths so that they are less likely to begin a life of crime and incarceration.

They are caged because they prefer to rape and plunder than become productive members of society.

It catches up to everyone at about 55 or 60. I have friend who educated me to this. Last year I was running 2 miles, just in case. This year I am walking. Three times as far, but I won't be needing new knees and hips by the time I am at that age.

Walking is way better and you burn he same number of calories whether you walk or run a mile.

If true, we need to look into the reasons why they do this, and to help our fellow citizens lead crime-free and productive lives.

Anyway, this thread is very popular and demonstrates a real concern and care by members of ET for those less fortunate than us.

jficquette, why do you say they prefer such behavior?

You may notice that I have abolished the terms dumb, idiot, stupid, and redneck from our discourse. Bookmark this post, until you are better, feel free to throw it in my face any time I may momentarily slip up in the heat of battle.

Using the word "renege' in writing is fine but don't use that word in conversation. It's racist.

"Renege" known in most areas as "Shift change at McDonald's".

You're a delusional idiot. Just minutes ago you said you were done battling me.

And I'm already better, so take your best shot janitor RCG.

You should quit talking about ''fellow citizens''. . . . you're British or in England at least.

Well, now that seems to be a mood swing, as I you have responded to me in a manner all out of proportion to the way I responded to you.

I get it now, Luke.

Hmmm, most Mickey D's employees I see here are poor whites and latinos. What exactly are you getting at?
