Correct answer is not on the list. Crack.
Prior to the introduction of crack, blacks were on track to equal whites in pay, housing, education and a whole host of other issues. Crack basically stopped that and they lost ground.
IMO, seeking a simple answer to a complex question is the most foolish of choices
So I went with "Other"
Explain something the GOP has done which causes problems for blacks. Be specific please.This.
The correct answer is "all of the above." You can point to individual things each of these groups have done wrong, but at the end of the day, the break-down of communication within culture is what is stalemating black equality.
I would agree with that but it wasn't a choice. I think that they've been misled by both black leadership and the Democrats who have a vested interest in keeping them poor as a voting block. Black leadership has really pushed the failed black culture and continues to do so. People like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have done more to harm blacks in America than any other source.
The title is evident.Who is the MOST to blame for the problems of African Americans today??
Everyone who is quick to point a finger and never tries to do a little to solve the problem is to blame for the fact that this problem even exists.

Their stereotyping of the black poor as being dangerous, entitled animals isn't terribly helpful. The draconian drug law changes of a couple decades ago, which seemed to apply almost exclusively to those mostly used by minorities (and some texts from the time make it clear that they were perfectly aware of this, and it was part of their concern) also does not go unnoticed. Just to name a couple that come off the top of my head.
People that look at a 'white' American and see an American BUT who look at an 'African' American and see an 'African' American.
Americans think about 'race' far, FAR too much.

Yeah, and traffic laws are biased against licensed drivers.
I swear...
Who would you like to see do something, and what would they do?I blame those who, (Like the person who started this thread.), have lots of time to waste talking about a problem.
But no time to spend solving that problem.
Solving this problem will require a lot of people to get off of their backsides and actually do something.
I don't expect to see that happen anytime soon.

What...?
Are you just going to be mad every time people imply that someone other than the victim has some of the blame?
That has never been a part of the GOP platform.Their stereotyping of the black poor as being dangerous, entitled animals isn't terribly helpful.
:roll: Guess again.The draconian drug law changes of a couple decades ago, which seemed to apply almost exclusively to those mostly used by minorities (and some texts from the time make it clear that they were perfectly aware of this, and it was part of their concern) also does not go unnoticed.
and therefore the drug war can't be a big part of the problems of African Americans? Are inner city Democrats benign necessarily?That has never been a part of the GOP platform.
:roll: Guess again.
The drug war is primarily being waged by inner city Democrat administrations. Anyone who denies that is in denial of reality.
Being serious, cultures that our ancestors worked very, very hard to exterminate aren't doing so hot as a whole right now.
Blacks themselves. They encourage scapegoatism and "blaming whitey". If you're a success doing something besides ballin, slingin, or rappin, you're a sellout. If you speak coherently, you're "talking white". If you're black and support responsibility amongst your own, you're an Uncle Tom.
Black culture does great at keeping their own people down and explaining who is to blame for it.

I do believe that you are right.
If everyone would treat every human being in the USA with the same respect that they would like to receive this would be a wonderful world.
