My ancestors elected to migrate north,out of Africa,yours elected to stay.End of story.
One more thing.
I’ve had to deal with this whole race issue my entire life.
I grew up in Cleveland and rode Cleveland buses.I was molested numerous times and felt as though I had no where to turn.I was spit on called ugly names on and on.My sister has just opened up about what she went through.I did not know about her trials.I finally escaped,by running away from home.My parents and sister stayed in that dreadful neighborhood for another few years before finally “running for their lives” out of Cleveland.
The same is true of muslim terrorists. The left says we need to understand they have a different culture.
Hate, violence and evil are not “culture”.
These days, when things are said by the left that are shockingly absurd, I can only explain it one way.
Satan.
Amen, Amen to every sentence.
The cry against stand your ground is the cry of civil lawyers who no longer can file civil suits after a criminal aquital.
It was the criminal suing the victim.
Crump and his ilk want redistribution for using inalianble rights (see ussc strict scrutiny test)
Young, healthy people.
All day long.
I hope no one is deluded into thinking that this is solely a black thing. My social security admin. office serves a primarily white clientele. When I first started having dealings with them 6 years ago at age 62, I noticed that I was the youngest person in the waiting area by far and everybody in the room was white. Lots of young women in there with their little children waiting.
I've had occasion to go there several different times over the past 6 years and it's always the same.
Somebody else on FB, a former friend of a friend, turned out to have various minorities among her extended family and apparently took offense at my pointing out such things. I got branded a racist and a bigot. In turn I told her that she was an idiot.
Lock and load, and keep your powder dry.
We recently moved from the So. Cal. high desert to the Arizona high desert. More favorable demographics (less than 2% blacks), and lower rent and utilities to boot. Yes, I like it here... so far. If we had thought to move to PHoenix, e'd have to worry about which neighborhoods to avoid.
IMO Lonsberry is spot on.
Another view of race by Shelby Steele in today’s Wall Street Jpurnal; http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324448104578618681599902640.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop
Well put.
Bump - the President’s conversation on racism is impartial. It’s like feminism trying to tackle inequality by focusing only on women’s issues.
Fred Plops For Reparations
I see by the papers in the Yankee Capital that Johnny Cochran, and of course Jesse and Al, are wheezing and blowing like a county-fair calliope with a leaky boiler. They always are. This time it was about the need to pay reparations for the ravages trala of slavery. It got me to thinking.I hate it when that happens.
Now, I know I'm hard-hearted, and mean-spirited, and no damn good. It's probably my only virtue. But on consideration, I realized that they might be right. The ravages of slavery do run deep, and cause motingator trouble, with no end in sight. I decided that compensation was only reasonable. Sometimes you don't like a conclusion, but you have to reach it. All right. I'll be a man about it.
You can pay me reparations, Johnny.
To start with, I figure you owe me for three bicycles. Maybe it's a small thing, but I'm tired of losing bicycles. Are we talking market value or replacement? What I really want to be paid for is having to keep my latest two-wheeler in my living room. Do you know how many times I've knocked the fool thing over? And, oh, the scratch in my granddad's antique desk that the brake lever made. What's that worth?
Call it three grand. OK? Direct deposit would be nice.
But . . . how do we dollarize cultural retrogression? God knows I appreciate your offer of reparations, but I'm having trouble with the arithmetic. Help me.

So if blacks want a conversation on race in America, I think they now have their opening.
“Let’s have a discussion about race.
Not a one-sided harangue,”
But “one sided harangue” is their definition of “a discussion about race”
You won't recognize me. My name was Antonio West and I was the 13-month old child who was shot at point blank range by two African American teens who were attempting to rob my ...mother, who was also shot. A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick GA determined the teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty...too bad I was given a death sentence for being innocent and defenseless.
My family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder was not ruled a Hate Crime. Nor did President Obama take so much as a single moment to acknowledge my murder.
I am one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media doesn't care to cover the story of my tragic demise, President Obama has no children who could possibly look like me - so he doesn't care and the media doesn't care because my story is not interesting enough to bring them ratings so they can sell commercial time slots.
There is not a white equivalent of Al Sharpton because if there was he would be declared racist, so there is no one rushing to Brunswick GA to demand justice for me. There is no White Panther party to put a bounty on the lives of those who murdered me. Did you hear Jesse Jackson crying out for my Killers? I have no voice, I have no representation and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.
So while you are seeking justice for Trayvon, please remember to seek justice for me too. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee shirts with my face on them and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon.
The American & world Media only wants stories that will SELL papers and Magazines………… now is this REVERSE DISCRIMINATION OR WHAT?
I DON'T SEE ERIC HOLDER AND THE JUSTICE DEPT. INVESTIGATING IF MY CIVIL RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED!
I GUESS IF YOUR WHITE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CIVIL RIGHTS THAT CAN BE VIOLATED??????? WHAT KIND OF JUSTICE DO YOU CALL THIS?
After my murder there was no rioting and demonstrations,and NBC, CBS and ABC didn't run my murder story!
Lonsberry has lost jobs twice over perceived political correctness from two very different sources. He know the risk he takes when he tells it as he sees it. Bravo, Bob!
bfl
If you are 55 and from deep south and know black race worldwide like I do immersed for decades
It means so much much much more than you can ever explain to the average poster here
And that is why we are losing
And losing badly
I am forever reminded how weak whites have become
The few decent blacks I see have twice the spine of say a Hannity or Krauthammer who have a platform from which to opine loudly
I’m just the typical dumb white guy in the TV commercials....have to find a smart black guy to help me muddle through buying auto insurance.
