Money don’t fix broken homes and the neighborhoods that results from them.

[TADSLOS]

My brain actually hurts from reading that.

[BenLurkin]

This guy finds fish “offensive.”

We regret to inform you that your submission did not pass the Turing test.

That article seemed to be missing some pages. Made no sense

[PAR35]

Might have been his grandmother.

Why are people rioting on the streets of an American city? Why doesn't the government of the richest country in the world help them? Possibly the answer is that there are two Americas: one is college-educated and upwardly mobile, the other is under-skilled and stuck with no place to go. And governments are often peopled by Americans from the first of these two Americas who don't understand what the people in the second America want.

The political class doesn't want the underclass to be educated because then they wouldn't vote Democrat.

The fish thing at the end was pretty weird and unexpected...

perhaps the author was trying to channel O’Henry.

They also don’t want them to have jobs. Hence the importation of cheap illegal labor. (soon to be legal if they have their way)

The problem is: DemocRAT RULE - I believe it’s been 15-20 years .. so what you see IS WHAT YOU GET FROM THE DEMS.

When are people going to wake up and stop electing these people ..??

There’s some serious “lost in translation” going on in that author’s mind. Maybe he’s a victim of some bad Baltimore crab meat.

Have I had a stroke? I cant make those words turn into a concept.

“I saw shabbily dressed people sitting on plastic chairs.”

If they were drinking beer in the morning, it might have been my family reunion.

If they were shooting at their empties, then I KNOW it was my family reunion.

[Calvin Locke]

My brain actually hurts from reading that.

de Tocqueville, he's not.

And he certainly doesn't understand the LBJ/DNC/Alinsky, etc. theories of black usefulness, either.

[Verginius Rufus]

Why doesn’t he mention that Baltimore was the home town of Babe Ruth? Maybe because he’s from a country where they play cricket instead of baseball?

[Calvin Locke]

...bad Baltimore crab meat.

Probably fraudulently labelled Chinese imported stuff.

DemocRAT RULE - I believe it’s been 15-20 years

More like 50 years.

All kinds of people from the lower classes get into the middle and upper classes through hard work. People such as Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Henry Ford, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Ronald Reagan, Ike, Lincoln and millions more. We’ve spent $22 trillion dollars on “helping them” just since 1965. Our treasure chest is not bottomless.
