Yep so right cause appalachian poor people are killing each other by the thousands as well
Sometimes political correctness is just so silly
By the way what CULTURE are you talking about?
I said what I meant. The race of Detroiters doesn't mean a thing. I grew up in Detroit, but the culture I grew up in was one of achievement, uplift, positive role models, and social responsibility. I learned how to be a good person from home, school, church, and my neighbors. I learned how to delay gratification, and to sacrifice for my future and for the sake of others. I also learned thrift, loyalty, faith, and faithfulness. These were good old fashioned working class and middle class values that apply to successful individuals and families across all races and ethnicities. It is the CULTURE that built this nation.
Your mileage may vary, but you ought to just say what you mean instead of engaging in random attacks online. If you think that Detroit's problem is race, then just say so and explain why. But you should have learned that race =/= culture in Sociology 101.
I agree with much of what you wrote, just want to add our goodness is innate...and or we dont need a religious institution or religion to learn how to be caring compassionate human beings....church members [[of which there are many in Detroit) can be very divisive and antagonistic to fellow members of society.....true there are many rugged pull yourself up by the bootstraps small business owners and individuals in Detroit....Ive had the pleausure of knowing many of them on a personal levelI said what I meant.

Agreed... thanks for pointing this out. Some of the very best people I know aren't Christians, and some of the worst have been regular churchgoers. It really does come down to what's in an individual heart!I agree with much of what you wrote, just want to add our goodness is innate...and or we dont need a religious institution or religion to learn how to be caring compassionate human beings....church members [[of which there are many in Detroit) can be very divisive and antagonistic to fellow members of society.....true there are many rugged pull yourself up by the bootstraps small business owners and individuals in Detroit....Ive had the pleausure of knowing many of them on a personal level
Way to dodge a simple question.. It is the CULTURE that built this nation.

You stated in your previous fluff post that the problems Detroit faces today are due to socioeconomic and CULTURE
when i asked what CULTURE you were referring to, you instead, spouted off about some grandiose notion of your past and just dodged the question by answering a completely different one.
Good technique. I have seen people use that in depositions and on the stand. I also think I learned about it in law school.
But hey maybe I should have gotten a degree in English where I could be a librarian or a teacher, either way, I highly doubt someone has EVER worked in the private sector [[or ever will)--is that a CULTURAL thing too?
