redkow97 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) why do presidential candidates (or rather, their campaigns) talk about the "black vote" as if all black people inherently agree on political issues? And assuming they did, why would a candidate care so much about what 13% of the U.S. population thinks on a given issue? Statistically, I would be shocked if there weren't more gay voters than black voters in America. Why doesn't anyone pander to them? **edit - these are all rhetorical questions.

jblosser Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Columbus as of the 2010 Census was 61.5% white, 28% black. At that time the mayor, police chief, 6 of 7 on the school board (and its president) and 7/7 on city council were black. Columbus still has the same mayor, but now 4 of 7 on both council and the school board are black, and the police chief's a white lesbian. Assuming the people in charge are good people, race <shouldn't> be an issue, though the governed may see it that way, for whatever reason.

ReconRat Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Reading more about Ferguson Missouri. Yes, the make up of the political factions has been slow to change. Many suburbs across America have experienced the same, but Ferguson was slow to change. Not really the major problem though. The young people do not have jobs. None available.The recession took out the good jobs and left minimum wage part time jobs and not enough to go around.A large number of bad home loans (the ARM variety) resulted in high numbers of foreclosures in the area.The local high schools are terrible, and have lost accreditation or close to it.From what locals say, it's a good and decent suburb of middle class people, going through hard times. So, unemployment and poor education. And the people don't like it.And there are many more suburbs across America just like this one. And a lot of the current problems are kids from St Louis coming over to create trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
