Honest to God, I’ve been hearing this crap for the last fifty years. It never changes. No matter what legislation is passed giving blacks special benefits or how many programs Congress passes to “help” poor (and predictably “oppressed”) blacks, according to the majority of blacks, this is still a horrible, racist country dominated by a white power structure (institutional racism) that keeps blacks down. Yes, that’s all every white American thinks about is how they can oppress black people. I’m sick of it and at the end of my rope.

a catalyst for social change

Riots are a great catalyst: for the middle class to move to the safer Republican areas. Something akin to riots caused the first humans to flee Africa towards the colder north. This process has been repeating ever since. Canada is an entire country of people willing to tolerate freezing weather in exchange for civil neighbors.

“You are talking about people who are living at or below the poverty line. You are talking about people who are the products of failing schools,” she explains, “and so I look at the looting as part of survival.”


All part of the plan baby! All part of YOU and your MASTER’S plan that is.

When black school age children are told by their peers that to do well in school is ‘Acting White’ then all of this stuff you and I are witnessing is not Whitey’s Fault. It’s YOUR fault. So man, or woman in your case, UP! and take responsibility for you and your people’s actions. As for me... I’m over it. Go live in your little ‘dream’, I’m tired of paying for it.

Looting (aka: rightful redistribution) makes jobs as workers have to produce more stuff to put on the shelves. To think otherwise is obviously racist and elitist. To paraphrase the Las Vegas signer, celine dion, “let them touch it...they never have touched it”.

This is nothing compared to whats coming when Wilson walks.

The “protestors”, egged on by race hucksters, are now going to attempt to shut the highways down tomorrow at 4:30 pm for 4 minutes 30 seconds in rememberance of how long MB laid in the street (you know, during a homicide investigation).

I support the right to protest peacefully but deliberately stopping your vehicles in the middle of busy highways on a holiday is pure effing madness and will get people hurt.

I understand the confusion about "looting".

I'm old enough to remember the reporting by the MSM employees during the 60's rioting.

In the inner-city ghettos it's not looting. It's the layaway plan so common back then before credit cards became dominate. However layaway is still common today for some because of -- what else? -- racist credit card companies.

The inner-city ghetto merchants (almost all white racists back then) charged (and still do charge) exorbitant prices.

The extra amounts are in reality payments on any and all merchandise in the store; to wit, layaway payments.

The items fully paid for, more than in full, over the period of thousands of years belong to the victims of white racist oppression -- even if the merchants are no longer mostly white.

I hope this clears it up.

(Just in case /s)

RE: It never changes.

searching for race-grievance industry

the search engine found

Heritage Foundation article from Jun 24, 1998 -

"The poverty industry has joined forces with the race-grievance industry, and together they suppress reform that could have the power to uplift those low-income ..."

.. and going way back

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.) ~ Educator, Author, Civil Rights Leader

You are talking about people who are living at or below the poverty line.

Actually, it's far worse than that. They are zombies, the living dead, and their monetary poverty is just a symptom, an outward manifestation of the spiritual poverty and death within.

None the less, dead though they may be, they are quite rich in spirit and self esteem and oblivious to their own lifeless forms and to their own deaths long ago, at least on a conscious level.

And nothing changes until they change their inner dialog and the reactions they have to what they encounter hour by hour, day to day. "Change your mind; change your life." There is nothing physically wrong, it's their software that's been corrupted.

The best thing is to do a re-boot with a repair disc and reset back to the original good. But how?

First, one must ask: Who wrote the code? Who is the original Programmer? If His code is running the hardware, the hardware is not a looter or a rioter nor an oppressor or abuser.

If any other code is running the hardware, it's probably a beta program and all bets are off. Much of that is malware and should be avoided.

Thugs, thieves and lowlife is what they are. Looters should be shot on sight.

Now that would send a powerful "international" message.

The number I saw was something like $38 trillion squandered since the mid-1960s on these failed “social programs” and what have we got to show for it? Riots in the streets. An entire racial minority destroyed by the entitlement mentality. 80% fatherless homes for children to be raised in. Yet the liberals keep pushing for more. End of your rope? Hey, not just you, but tens of millions of others. Time to cut off that rope and say no more handouts to those who think they are owed them because of their supposed “oppressed class”.

I grew up poor, too. When one of my brothers stole a candy bar from a store, our mother marched him right back to the store to confess and apologize. We never had an excuse to steal, no matter how poor we were.

Law-abiding Americans are getting more and more tired of this crap! We’re sick of all the excuses. Race and/or poverty are not licenses to steal.
