N***** — please!
Gag a maggot! What blind, self righteous claptrap!
“...the Missouri attorney generals report that white people break the law more often.”
I’d really like to know what he means by this. Does he mean there are more white people, so of course there are more white lawbreakers? Does it refer specifically to traffic laws?
The statistical truth, that blacks (or black men at least, but men in general are so vastly more criminal than women in genral I’m not sure it matters) commit crime in great disproportion to their population level, cannot be refuted.
It can be ignored, it can be obsfucated (which I take it is the attempt here by the MO AG), but it is a truth which all people, black, white and otherwise, know perfectly well.
I had a wild thought the other day, and it sounded awful when I expressed it at work, but I think it’s true.....
Though slavery was so wrong and the treatment of blacks was terrible, it did actually give birth to them becoming citizens of the United States. Would they all rather be living in Africa today? Starvation, disease, no hope for anything in life other than an early and miserable death? Why not be grateful that your ancestor’s suffering caused you to live in a free nation, and rise up and take advantage of that, as many have.
I liken it to Israel, in a way. The holocaust was diabolical beyond compare. It did, however, give birth to the nation of Israel. Those people never forget the suffering of their families, and are grateful and thankful for their nation, and it shows. They moved forward, not whining, but building and improving.
Where’s the ‘Ebola-level Barf Alert’? lol
Where do you begin? Absentee fathers lead to poverty-level childhoods, poor education outcomes lead to poor employment prospects lead to poor credit ratings lead to predatory lending. Whose fault is this?
All these idjits want to feel empowered, but for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. They never consider that taking care of one’s business in a mature, responsible, moral way might be the better avenue to success and a sense of self-accomplishment. To paraphrase an old Reagan comment about scariest words, “We’re from the government and we’re here to help you - you’re screwed!”
Read Booker T Washington; ignore W.E.B. DuBois; ignore Cornell West...read Williams and Sowell...hopefully the young crowd will replace those who are in the “educated cliques where the mantra is, nothing has changed”.
and, many black people have shown that as a culture they are incapable of surviving out of the villages from which they came.
A sizable portion of the black population has worked and succeeded at solid productive citizenship. A similarly sized portion of the same population is unable and unwilling to make the same transition.
(Not that that's ever going to happen)
Pull the police and national Guard out, establish a perimeter around Ferguson, and let them run their city the way they see fit. Hopefully, there will be lots of video feeds and popcorn.
Manchester Guardian?
Instead of banging the 150 year old “legacy of the slave state” gong here in the my country, shouldn’t you be decrying the right-now-today anti-Semitism that is running rampant in your own country Mr. Thrasher?
Blacks must be the most pathetic people on earth.
what a mess
And why do you suppose that is? Instead of playing the victim card...again...ask yourself what blacks have done on their own to bootstrap their lives. What we're seeing in Ferguson is clearly going to help lower unemployment rates there, right? Almost $2 trillion since the War on Poverty began and the GAO reported last year that poverty is worse now than ever. Lesson: Throwing money at their problem isn't going to change anything until they get the friggin' chip off their shoulder, quit playing the victim card, and show some self-discipline and initiative on solving their problem themselves, perhaps starting with lowering a 72% illegitimacy rate. All that money and what does society get in return: Ferguson, MO.
Bush’s fault I suppose.
No one mentions people who goof off throughout years of free education, refuse to learn anything in the way of job skills, but are too good to do the jobs they qualify for.
keep your predatory loan protection with you always......just say no. But, it's predatory, so you really can't stop it.
