The Family Breakdown, Racism and the Democratic Party

Back in the 60's, during the dreadful days of the Kennedy assassination and the hate that still flourished in the south for black Americans, as young folks growing up in the north were just coming to realize that blacks were treated much different and inhumanely in the south. Over the next several decades, citizens became detached from society where in they learned to lie; to deceive and hate; to relinquish thoughts of the sanctity and divinity of each human life, which gave rise to senseless abortions on demand and ultimately, the complete meltdown of the American family.
That is the crux of the demoncratic party we suffer under today and the lies that are perpetuated by modern day democrats and people like the Clinton's, who can not speak a truth to save their back sides.
Sadly, people too young to know exactly what took place and how things transpired, have been convinced all the killing, hate, racism comes from the north/republicans...which could not be further from the truth.

Maybe you'd be more at home on the Trump board?

You're uninformed enough.

What I find truly hilarious in the most depressing way is that the path those "activists" took to secure "equal" rights for people who weren't treated fairly wound up being more destructive than the act of not treating said people fairly.

Before all of these movements people had to work for and earn respect. It wasn't something that one could get simply by proclaiming "I'm black, you have to respect me", unlike today. Then you factor in the propagation of drug use and sleeping around and here we are.

Granted, it would be one thing if we were happier for it, but we're not. People are, on the whole, significantly less satisfied than they were, whether male or female, as are their outlooks less optimistic. Young people especially hold very harsh views about what the future is going to be like and that's when you manage to find one intelligent enough to even understand the question.

I think society is headed towards a philosophical purge, wherein a cataclysm will occur that will force a paradigm shift back to a values based belief system where moral and ethical behavior once again dominates the average person's life. That said, and baring unforeseen events, won't happen for a few decades yet.
