“I think these people believe they have a right to rob and assault and kill people or something”

Yes, they do. It is basic Alynsky theory. Criminals are just budding revolutionaries.

At Sweet Briar College here in central Virginia, there’s a huge uproar about some “black” and “white” signs that were stuck onto water fountains. Everybody at the school is having conniptions. One of the girls said she “stayed up until 3 a.m. consoling other students.”

CONSOLING. Who died??

They’re promising to bring down fierce judgement upon the head of the responsible person. Chances are that person will turn out to be black, and they’ll let the matter drop.

"• The black-white income gap is roughly 40 percent greater today than it was in 1967."

So can we have the $13,000,000,000,000.00 back that was spent "fighting poverty" since 1964?

Interesting how they never want to answer the question “Should their skin color outweigh their actions?”

If you include the hundreds of billions of dollars extorted from whites and paid to blacks by the federal government, there is no contest — black on white racism is a bigger problem. If the welfare isn’t paid, they riot. If the taxes are not paid, they riot.

Let’s just go a month without “welfare”, and see what racism is.

Affirmative action policies required by various levels of government would indicate there is officially a genetic deficiency for blacks and Hispanics (but not whites or Asians); that would also apply to gender as well.

LOL, I could definitely see a South park episode written around that line.

So set up a culture where parents don’t care if their kids get good grades and even if they manage it anyway, have their peers berate them for “acting white” when they do.

Then when these strategies (or lack of strategies) fail miserably. Say “Hey, we don’t have the same stuff as you, we must be oppressed.”

ridiculous.

It’s called a work ethic, Nick.

When Saint Charging Bull’s juvie murder record is made public the cries of “racist” are going to be epic.

“That’s right; somehow Asians (often with non-English speaking parents) attend the same schools and flourish.”

What schools are you talking about?

Kristoff’s wife is Chinese. He knows he’s spewing BS.

The public schools in places like NYC. Our cities in NJ don’t have as many Asians as other cities, but in NYC they have plenty.

I’m white. I get it. I just don’t care anymore.

blacks get proportionately a large slice of benefits, of free food, free phones, free camps, free transportion, and free college....

they get a pass for their poor grades, for their criminal activity, for their unkept appearance and fannies sticking out, and for their crude lanquage and crude behaviour....

if it was possible to put down in numbers how much the govt spends on each black person vs what it pays on all others, I believe it would show a tremendous advantage for them....far, far above what they deserve and not based on anything that they as a group have done for America.....

but they're sure good at riots, and beatings, and stealing, and impregnating each other...

I believe Kristof led the lynch mob in the media that was convinced Steve Hatfield had sent those ricin letters in the mail...because he had lived in South Africa for a while when apartheid was still in force.

Blacks i went to high school with in the 1970’s took pride and cared about education....they would be mocked and ridiculed today. This Rap-thug thing really took root.

I'm tired of hearing about race and white privilege. They act as if things are just handed to you if you're white. Hard work and dedication have nothing to do with it. That might be true for liberal douchebags like Kristoff but it isn't like that for most white people. Maybe if blacks did a little more work and less whining they would be doing a little better.
