    The poverty rate for African Americans has become worse over the past few years. It was 25 percent when President Bush left office. It rose to 28 percent in 2013 -- the most recent stat available. One out of three black children, 38 percent of all African American children, lived in poverty in 2013, as reported by PEW on July 14. Overall, there are more people living in poverty in the U.S. than at other time in U.S. history at 45 million people.

    Troll with quotes and such, but no direct responses. You're a likable republican. I understand you don't really have a decent candidate to vote for, so you come to the PJ page to try and rile up us liberals when you know Trump's a piece of work. Your party will have it whittled down to one guy to go against Trump pretty soon, don't worry.
    Oh beaver, name calling is not ok.
    Please stop being a bully.

    I post the truth, all I want is the truth.

    Just give me some truth and stop with the name calling for gosh sakes
    JAG?!? Is that you? If it is, your posts make a lot more sense now. If it isn't, are you her groupie? Contributing to the topic is one of the guidelines as well. Constantly posting WOOT on everything doesn't really bring anything to the discussion. Shit like this is why I stay off the train most days. We've all seen this formula before:

    1. Make ridiculous shit posts all over.
    2. Get called out on being a troll.
    3. Complain people are bullying.

    Did I miss anything?

    To answer op's question, yes. They are the minority, but obviously they are around.
    Don't stress about mamasan1, it's basically satirical trolling. He's just effin with people.

    Maybe so, but there is a valid point in the question posed. A lot of people are supporting a presidential candidate that either has some of those values, or refuses to dispel that perception.

    What?

    Hoffman was blunt in his response for the reason why it’s been that way for so long.

    “It’s always been racism. It’s kind of a reflection of what the country is,” he said.

    You don't want to compare yourself to Saudi Arabia to make yourself seem 'not too shabby' do you?

    In the bigger picture, the US isn't terrible; however, there's room for much improvement. Why not try and get better?

    And Jimmy, I agree with tolerance necessary for both sides; however, there should be no tolerance for intolerance.

    The 1 through 3 post wasn't mine.

    I think you're touching on the fact that most conservatives have a real hard time engaging in a debate or discussion about things. You definitely see that in here. If you have some input on the state of race relations in the U.S., or maybe how race ties in with Trump's candidacy, feel free to contribute.

    Absolutely. It drives me crazy when people accuse others of being intolerant for not tolerating intolerance. It's totally ridiculous.

    You won't find anything but left leaning sources, unbiased sources didn't want anything to do with this story, and right leaning sources hailed him as the new Audie Murphy to inspire young war hero wannabes.

    He absolutely lied about punching Jesse Ventura and shooting the looters at Katrina, but there is no confirmation (and never will be) on his suspected lies about his time in combat. There are many details that are very highly suspect.
