I don't blame black family breakdown on slavery. I just mentioned the long term effects it may have had on the ideal of the white middle class idea of the perfect family. If you don't think its had any effect then say so and give me the references. I don't know what you mean by slavery related trauma either. You don't have to buy anything. | |||||

When the extreme left of US politics starts to alienate the moderate left, there's only going to be one winner. Not just me thinking the far left has lost its marbles, though I'm far from ready to concede that I've changed my position. Plus I'll never vote Tory. | |||||

It's funny that you think you're fairly moderate. Still, at least you're prepared to debate. | |||||
