pile of BS, Philadelphia has one of the largest free library systems in the US. Never see a kid in any of em. down the street from my house. and force the schools to teach reading writing and rithmetic, might make a big difference.

” Few things are more harmful than the liberal desire to “help.” Sorry if this wasn’t the answer you wanted.”

Why do they let themselves be manipulated by “liberals “ to their own detriment?

The black man (and woman) have not advanced because of an unhealthy co-dependancy the dems have forced upon them.

Can list without reading:

1.Demwit Party

2. NAACP propaganda.

3.Jesse Jackson

4. Al Sharpton.

5.The racist blame game.

6.The media.

7. White guilt.

Whoa! Can't seem to quit finding reasons but many overlap.

My take--I'm sick of it. Also sick of these university students that don't know diddly about history, this country's greatness and opportunity (past), and can't name one person in DC other than O.Have a questionnaire about the IMPORTANT stuff like the latest I-phone, the newest group, the talent of Lady Gaga, etc., and they are all over it.

It's late and I'm grouchy. Will say a thankful prayer and sign off.

Be happy!

Professor Shockley at the Stanford Research Center and Nobel Physics winner for his work developing the transistor was crucified for pointing out that cultures have social achievement based on different but overlapping bell curves. His presentation did not fit the politically correct dogma of equality in all things/ways.

You really ought to ask our nation the same question.

We’re being manipulated and destroyed by liberals. Should we blame the majority? Should I blame you?

1. black men killing other black men.

2. uncle sugar making it financially attractive to not have black fathers raising their kids right.

3. racist chips on their shoulders blaming everyone else b/c they didn’t care enough about themselves to work in school.

4. piss-poor role models across the board.

5. pervasive black gangsta culture rotting them and society at large.

I spent many years hearing about how Hitler committed countless atrocities against the Jews. But what’s rarely shared is that the atrocities that American leaders have committed against black men and women have been equally devasting and lasted for a much longer period of time.

Devasting? Is that something BIG?

And Hitler? That guy was a pussy compared to all these bad white Americans, and their white corporations, white Universities, and all the white guys who invented almost everything used in the world today.

My boss at the Fortune 500 company where I work is black - actually from Africa, the head of our department, the Chief Tax Officer and VP is black, his executive assistant is black. No one cares what color they are. And they’re not the only ones.

For blacks willing to work things have changed a lot.

6) You have a 500-lb chip on your shoulder.

My dentist of 13 years is black, smart, talented, and very much a supporter of black entrepreneurship.

What makes him special? I have heard him talking with great knowledge about the entire NBA. He talks with me, and remembers from visit to visit, about the plight of countries in South America. He talks about his family and adopted family and the struggles they are having in school (their school competes in sports with the school I used to teach at, making it more exciting).

My dentist is “black” to the marrow, but there is not a hint of black privilege in him, he is conversant in a wide variety of topics and is willing to talk at the level of equals with everybody from the humblest widow to the most highly educated patient.

You might say that he is just a thoughtful and well-rounded person. He made himself that way.

Interesting: not one word about the politicians (mostly Democrats) that have turned much of Black America into a subculture dependent on handouts from the FedGov.

Sounds like in an inner-city negro.

Of the two black guys I knew professionally as engineers, one was a genius with some astounding discoveries in gravitation. No one doubted his intelligence and you deferred to him.

The other was a sharp, witty young kid that balanced humor with intelligence that everyone loved. He was instantly included in any group.

Never heard a word of the typical inner city crap from them, but then that was the beauty of being an engineer, it had no place. Likely neither were inner city to begin with, but that is another issue.

Of course you should blame the majority. Who would you blame?

The author’s 5 reasons all seem to be “Not Enough Handouts”. His comparison of the USA to Hitler told me all I needed to know. Why don’t these America-hating blacks go to Africa?

Lost me at “strong predecessors like Harry Belafonte.”

Harry Belafonte is a communist jackass who travels all over the world to appear at pro-communist gatherings. He idolizes Fidel Castro.

As per usual it is Whiteys fault. This has become more than tiresome

Which black man are they talking about? Men are men. Groups are groups.
