They want to make everyone economically equal by tearing the middle and upper classes down.

The obvious path to real black economic empowerment is a cultural emphasis on education, committement to family, being law-abiding, accepting personal responsibility, and having a strong work ethic.

I’m sure that will be the consensus of this esteemed group. (See tagline)

Meet the new agenda, same as the old agenda — gimme gimme gimme.

Other groups came here with money from back home? This is delusional. People came here with nothing, not even speaking English, and built up a life here through hard work.

And so did free black people, who worked hard and built up good lives.

Nothing worth having comes easily, not good families, not productive lives, not the respect of others. Whining and envy is not part of the process.

Without excuses, it boils down to laziness, and that’s racist, don’t you know?

“Empowament Zone” is a term I use to describe the Amish part of town.

Asians who came here did not know the language, customs, lay of the land, the ropes. And in the case of Asians, they were not big or physically intimidating. One thing these people did not have is a whiny-ass attitude of self-pity.

My great grandfather arrived in 1902 with less than $20 in his pocket. He worked the coal mines, laid bricks and cobble stones, dug wells and saved until he could bring his wife and daughter over from Sweden in 1905.
We he died in the mid 1950s, he had a paid for house and small acreage.

Economic empowerment=pay attention in school,don't use drugs,don't use alcohol to excess (if at all),don't commit crimes,don't have kids before you can afford them,be prepared to work long,hard hours (particularly early in your life),don't spend $$$ on stupid stuff (e.g.,$250 sneakers)

That's a ticket to the middle class (if not higher) for EVERYONE!

One standard of living. One religion. One World Government. The Ultimate Goal is at hand.

Wow, this is what those black high schools integration shut down used to teach and black pastors used to preach.

Good thing super heros like rhymin' Jessie and LBJ led black folks to enlightenment so they could shed their nasty old ideas of about strong Christian families, education, and hard work. All they had to do was agree to slowly eradicate themselves through abortion.

Ain't dem democrat fascists goood to black folks?

Look at the fine plantation housing so many black folks have now. Plus, gubbmint jobs or handouts and none of that old fashioned Frederick Douglass Uncle Tom stuff.

Thuggin' and Ho in', thass how ta DO

They want to skip the hardships of making it go right to the top with little or no effort or experience and bask in the affirmative action sunshine. How many more programs and money is needed to empower these empowerless lazy a## people

I could teach any of them how to make six figures with time freedom and side benefits, but you have to sell something before you get paid. Aye, there’s the rub...

Blacks have gone backward in every measurable way since they pledged their unwavering support for DemocRats.
