Libspeak:

Young men of color are thriving, holding down jobs, getting good grades, and helping to sustain their families. But a disproportionate number of them are struggling, failing school or dropping out, according to recent studies.

There are a lot of young black and Latino men that we have here in our city that need this initiative,
Why is it these minorities can't help themselves? Why do they always need a gubmint program for everything in their lives?

It’s interesting to me that both modern conservative and modern liberals have virtually nothing to say about God in this connection.

Racist programs like this one violate the Fourteenth Amendment, don’t they?

How is it the courts let the cities get away with it?

I thought that the gazillions put into the ‘Great Society’, midnight basketball, replacing food stamps with a ‘credit card looking’ card, Section 8 housing, employment etc were going to take care of this ‘low esteem’ problem.

EVERY ethnic group had its ‘turn in the barrell’ and when the ‘group’ banded together to make things better (their own schools, churches etc) in 20-30 (a generation or 2) years they were not only the decision makers but all but the ‘sorriest’ of the lot were basically ‘making it’.

LBJ ‘invented’ the Great Society 50 years ago and we have virtually seen the ‘target’ audience GET WORSE in terms of self help and especially in self determination.

The results were ‘flipped’ from the other groups...a goodly portion ‘got out’ but far too many were left to ‘rot’ in the inner cities.

Remember the ‘beautification programs’ of the inner cities, where the ‘institutions were dropped’, flop houses were razed, businesses that hired ‘common folk’ were driven out and the ‘homeless’ were thrust upon us
It isn’t “Where did they come from” etc, ‘they’ were always there, they just got turned out onto the street.

Is the ‘inner city’ of today going to go through the same ‘Urban Renewal’process?

That is when it will get interesting,— but I guess ‘they’ will wait until this latest round of ‘immigrants’ takes control of the inner cities, thereby ‘ejecting’ the current denizens —till further actions will be taken.

“boys of color”

“of color” is a racial superiority term, by the way.

That makes those of my looks (”pink skins”) the “people of no color” which implies that we pinkies are of less value because we have no color.

Maybe an alternate, more unifying term, a term that would be a step in the right direction would be people “of color conciousness” (which could be people of any color, by the way).

Good ol’ libs. No “person of color” is capable of doing anything for themselves. Do you hear this “people of color?” You need to rely on liberal overseers. Argue with a liberal about their evolution faith. They will tell you all day long that everything and everyone has evolved and is different in one way or another. HOWEVER the only thing NOT different are human ethnicities. If that is the case. Then WHY do “people” of color need more help than other people???

Mayor Martin J. Walsh has launched an initiative this month targeting the city’s black and Latino boys and men, a population at risk for joblessness, poverty, and a host of health disparities, ...

Thank God that my white skin makes me immune from those awful things. An employer tried to let me go once, but I just flashed the white skin, and boom, they knew they had to keep me. I'm also able to smoke crack and eat nothing but Krispy Cream donuts with zero negative health effects.

I don't know what it is about this white skin that makes me untouchable, but I'm keeping it baby.

The minority community needs to change this attitude.

What makes him think they will take the same initiative that’s been available for everyone else, when they continually keep rejecting it because they are bitter, and have some bone to hash with the rest of the world because of their bitterness?

Is this not an exercise in futility?...like all the other things this nation seems to be going along with?

All paid for by taxes on Whites, of course.
