I mean, 37% approval from the black community is good, it means they're waking up. Especially for a republican guy, thats a huge amount of support
It's time for Black's to walk off the Democratic plantation. I see more and more Blacks stop being Democrats.

1940's and 1950's poverty rates was higher for Black's then today but incarceration and Crime rates were lower. High Crime is not because of Poverty and from High Racism in 40's and 50's. The War on Drugs is blamed for Incarceration Rates but Blacks make up 37.6% of State Prison population and State Prisons houses more than 80% of all Prisoners. Even if you remove all Drugs Offenders in Federal and State, prison population will still be around 37.4%. It's Violent Offenses and Property Crime that drives high Black Incarceration rates not Drugs.

The harsh penalties for Crack Cocaine in the 1980's was supported by most Congressional Black Caucus because many Black leaders said it was destroying Black communities and they wanted longer prison sentences. It was Black legislatures that pushed for tougher drug laws, this is something that is conveniently left out when they want to Blame Drug Sentencing on racist Whites.

The crime and incarceration rates spiked in the 1970's and 1980's in Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Cleveland were in places under Black Mayors, Black Police Chiefs, Black Council Members, and Black School Superintendents. Some of the most violent cities are run by Blacks and yet somehow its White peoples fault and their racism in the system.

It's not genetics and racism thats holding Black's back. It's the culture that holding them back. The culture of anti education and praising crime. And most Blacks even in the most violent cities are not criminals, it's only a small minority of teens and young adults thats committing most of the crime. Many Blacks in the inner cities actually respect what cops do that put their lives in jeopardy to protect Blacks so they wont have to sleep in bath tubs at night so they wont be hit by stray bullets in a neighborhood shooting.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
