 Hello dude, have I been to the ghetto? Yes homeless for three years Las Vegas.
But your argument was for only one race in the ghetto.
Do you not understand that not just blacks live in the ghetto.
The Ghetto is a poor urban area occupied primarily by a minority group or groups.
What exactly hasn’t been corrected for the black community what are you asking the government for? 
 I’m from the south, the ghettos in the south are different mixed population numbers (5x+ more blacks). It makes sense you wouldn’t understand the repercussions and aftermath of slavery from Nevada. You are speaking from a place that doesn’t reflect the reality of a region of the country you are not familiar with. 

Of course others live in the ghetto, but it’s not related to slavery. 

Here are two major cities in relation to your experience in Nevada. The numbers don’t even compare https://i.nostr.build/CjVuTweBIwLpBm9l.jpg https://i.nostr.build/3O7uz9bKjNEslvnZ.jpg https://i.nostr.build/47bpsHCLA5Ugc3pp.jpg  
 🤔 makes sense I wouldn’t know about the repercussions and aftermath of slavery I can say the same for you I mean slavery ended 150 years ago but sure milk that cow, anyway I thought your issue was the ghetto only if it fits your narrative I suppose yeah go fight your one sided argument peace be with you 🫂💜🫡 
 The problem is a national issue, but is focused on a regional area. I worked in these areas heavily in my adult life and have been deeply saddened by the condition of these people. Come to find out there is a legit reason for their complaints over the years.

If you want everyone to stand strong and fight our common enemy, sometimes we have to lift others up to do so. The one thing I’ve noticed about you and Lotta’s conversation is you share a common enemy. However, you just seem to dismiss her reasons for not liking the government. 
 I only disagree with her argument more pressing issues have presented since then IMO
I wasn’t trying to dismiss her reasons I’m just giving a different perspective. To each their own 🫂💜🫡 
 What you said isn’t a disagreement, this is you insulting someone and telling them to shut up.

However, you have more pressing matters to attend to, so take your disrespect elsewhere.

 More like get over it 150 years have passed… didn’t really think of it as disrespectful she shared her opinion I shared mine we had a discussion and then you popped into the convo Dude your argument changed from ghetto to blacks real fast what exactly are you arguing 😂 
 Not sure how you thought “get over your shit and stop dividing people” was a respectful way to address a woman. 

Also 150 years is incorrect, my grandfather tells me stories all the time about the conditions of blacks from 70 years ago. I worked with him in the same business for almost a decade. He’s 91 and can tell me how bad things were having grown up here. 

You have been misled by a google search… figure that. In this context, “ghetto” refers to the black community that Lotta and you were talking about. Have you been comprehending or just reacting? 
 We were discussing The Special Field Order 15 of 1865 and yes 159 years ago not stories your grandfather told 70 years ago your argument keeps changing are you reacting? Or just not comprehending what is being discussed 
 It’s not hard bro, but since you didn’t understand and was rude to her, I presented more data with experiences from my life. That’s too much for you to calculate, I guess. 
 Dude, Bro your data proved nothing but flaws like your argument which changed three times but yeah thanks for joining 
 You have a batting average of 0. Move on with your lame insults buddy. 
 Look, you’re looking at the trees and can’t see the forest. It’s not a time hop. In that 150 years Blacks went from capital to capitalist with a proclamation. The very people who aimed to help them figure out how to cope with it were killed and the narrative usurped. We ultimately received gestures instead of what was owed. Then we were psychologically terrorized into acceptance via violence and violent organizations. 

I have family members in their 80’s and 90’s. In their lifetime it was illegal for blacks to know how to read/ write, walk in the front doors of white owned establishment, address a white person by their first name, look a white woman in the face, marry a white person, attend a white church, vote, own a house in certain neighborhoods, or use anything labeled “whites only”. 

I grew up with a grandmother who was so light skinned she could pass for white but chose not to and therefore suffered from “uppity nigger” syndrome. She taught me to be proud of being black but to not trust whites because they’ll work with you and not have you over for dinner. I don’t believe that today but it’s a testament to 150 years not being so far away. 

My mom told me about being in the 7th grade before having a white classmate and how it was dangerous to befriend them because they could lie and have you killed without recourse. She had classmates who went shopping with white girlfriends who shopped lifted and blamed their black friend next thing you know the black girl went missing. 

I’m not a victim but it’s wild that you don’t understand how 150 years ago easily bleeds into the way people relate to the world today. Thanks for the conversation though, I appreciate you. 
 Yes thanks for the conversation vary enlightening
