Sheriff Clarke: Black Americans Are Being 'Hoodwinked' by Democrats

You do know that Malcolm X was speaking for the Nation of Islam when he made that statement, yes? Also, you haven't answered my question. What will the Republican party do to counter the "hoodwinking" done by Democrats? What policies and regulations have the Republican party enacted to help "break the hold" of Democrats or, as I've stated, is Clarke merely stating problems without offering solutions?

Considering I don't consider myself a republican, I can't speak for them. Even while he was in the NOI he was still very vocal about the democrats history of violence towards people of color, since his father was murdered by a pro-kkk democrat. Malcolm X left the NOI when he found a better way during a Haj to Mecca and was assassinated for his change in tone. He understood that the democrats paid lip service while ignoring them. Today, the same democrats who ushered in the 60's civil rights movement didn't change their ways, they changed there message while continuing to ignore the plight.

SSG Michael Hartsfield - Change imposed from without is coercion. Meaningful change comes from within. I do not deny the existence of prejudice and discrimination in America. My question is to anyone who experiences it is how long are you going to let the turkeys hold you down? I do not believe violence is necessary either.

I make the assumption, and honestly believe that the two biggest factors in having a shot at the American Dream are education and stable family life. Do you agree?

A good education is not dependent on good schools. Good schools help, but a parental commitment and a child's love of learning are far more determinative. That's not the government bailiwick. The same for stability of the family, when circumstances make that stability hard to achieve it is incumbent on extended family and neighbors to help, not the government.

I don't care what skin tone anyone has, that is offensive language, ray.
