The proposals are simply more of the same failed policies that have ruined Dem run cities throughout the country.

The real goal is taking all wealth accumulated by whites over the centuries and giving it to minorities.

Forbes seems to be counting on the government to do all this stuff. That’s like entrusting your daughter’s education to a psychopathic hobo.

Sounds like the same ol' Liberal clap-trap.

All it takes is one proposal:

1) Outlaw Liberalism

Which of these HASN’T been massively implemented over the past five decades? Doing what you have always done will get you what you always got.

The stupidity will continue until _____ improves!

The biggest boost to negro (and every race's) wealth would be to replace Social Security with a mandatory 401k type system. Then wealth will be accumulated and passed down in families.

The whites would get it all back within a few years.

Of course they could just shoot the whites and solve that little problem.

I don’t see things like no babies out of wedlock, don’t do drugs, stay away from crime, go to church, be parents to your children. ..

Recommitting to racially integrated schools, colleges and universities

1954 was 61 years ago. There's a lot of data about this now.

How's it working?

It came on insidiously over the past 4-5 years. Maybe Steve Forbes no longer has a say in hiring.

That’s right; no “acting white”. This is just a plug for the teachers’ unions that own the Democratic Party; both pre-K and kindergarten aren’t even required grades, but they add a lot of union members.

Those are just a bunch of governmental gobbledygook designed to increase taxes and expand government. They are meaningless gibberish.

And what's up with YT? He magic?

Put YT in the room with sun people, and all of a sudden they're doing calculus?

I mean, what's the theory here?
