[QUOTE="Biggie, post: 2343633, member: 1195"] Hi i have to be careful not to go too deep into politics. as it may effect our relationship here. however, there have been many wars on social issues. war on poverty, for minorities, was to eliminate men from households who were getting welfare. those men, majority black, who were already being discriminated against in employment, education and housing with "red lining practices". see > [URL]https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/us-history/postwarera/postwar-era/a/the-dark-side-of-suburbia[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://naraedwards.com/housing-discrimination-in-chicago-1900s-1950s/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.epi.org/blog/housing-discrimination-underpins-the-staggering-wealth-gap-between-blacks-and-whites/[/URL] you have to remember, that the Civil Rights Act was only passed in 1964, so prior to that, blacks still were not free. even though they had been freed from slavery, they were not free to live wherever they wanted or get jobs in fields where they were not wanted or go to schools where they were not wanted. Welfare, was not a reward! if any of you ever watched the TV show "Good Times", which was about a black family living in the projects of Chicago, when the government started this war on poverty, the father figure ( James Evans) of that household got killed on the show. it was symbolic of what was going on in the black community. in every household where there was a man/father figure, they had to move out, in order for the mother and children to receive welfare. watch the movie [I]Claudine [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudine_(film)[/URL][/I] she had to hide the existence of her relationship with a man, in order to continue getting welfare. these shows highlighted the movement to destroy the black family unit, which is why that minority group is having the most difficulty now, with gangs and drugs...... because there are no father figures in the home. the war on drugs, and just say No! the crack epidemic, where black men were getting 20 years in prison for small quantities of crack cocaine, while those who were bringing the drugs into the country were getting less time in jail. see the TV show Snowfall [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowfall_(TV_series)[/URL] it tells about how CIA brought drugs into California, which started the crack wars in urban cities across america. the Three Strikes law, where if you got 3 convictions, you go to jail forever. this led to mass incarcerations of black men [URL unfurl="true"]https://nyccriminallawyer.com/three-strikes-a-mistake-that-led-to-mass-incarceration/[/URL] in black neighborhoods, have you ever seen the [I]Red Cross[/I] giving aid, counseling or providing trauma units to console the families? where were they during Katrina? they just have to deal with it, from generation to generation so, yeah, i don't want to go too deep, because we all walk in different shoes, which makes us see things differently. but all of that is what makes a left and a right, in politics today. imo....
