It's lonely in the middle

Schubert although I don't have a degree in sociology, I began educating myself during Kennedy's term in office; he was solving these problems, not by giving disadvantaged people money, but by making sure they had access to jobs, and even on welfare he made young ladies go to school in order that they might become employed.

Since I was the same age as those ladies, I talked to them, and they went to real classes in preparation for secretarial work.

Here in St. Louis, beginning pimps, hustlers, and other criminals traded those corners in for Blue McDonnel Aircraft badges. Besides going to jail, crime is risky business in many other ways. There is nothing like having a decent job, getting a paycheck every Friday and not having to look over your shoulder.

Since this countries founding African Americans were discriminated against; Kennedy told defense contractors, I want 10% Black employment, or no contract; think about what that did to unemployment, as well as preventing new criminals.

That was way too much progress for the South, that's why he was assassinated. Since that time divide and conquer has been the rule of politicians. Southerners who should have been voting for working people, voted for rich people until we are where we are, and there is nothing anyone can do about, all the good paying jobs are elsewhere.

WOW!!!! You should be writing for the National Enquirer.

Btw, Kennedy is the biggest myth in the world. He is only mentioned when talking to black people. I remember when everyone I in the South had pictures of King, Christ and Kennedy on the walls. What a joke. My family being the exception. :)

What did he do for black people, Nothing. He just acted like he liked them. That’s all it took. So easy.

Lyndon Baines Johnson, LBJ, did more for black people than any president since Lincoln. His problem was, he was a southern white man, so he couldn’t be the hero. So the credit went to Kennedy.

Clinton, another southern white man helped black people by cutting ’welfare’. He didn’t go far enough. Should have ended it all. The exceptions, being Blind, Cripple or crazy.

Based on what you said, we can conclude that during the heyday of auto jobs in Detroit, there were no drug dealers or thugs in Detroit. You did say they would all rather work.

Cheers
