Jeb Bush to National Urban League: 'There are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility

Jeb Bush to National Urban League: 'There are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility in this country'.

Jeb Bush in his address Friday to the National Urban League will talk about a “listening and learning” phase following his 1994 campaign in which he made comments that were offensive to African-Americans, play up charter schools, criticize a "losing" war on poverty and discuss his decision as governor to take down the Confederate flag.

“I know that there are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility in this country. Some we can see, others are unseen but just as real,” reads Bush’s speech, obtained by the Tampa Bay Times. “So many lives can come to nothing, or come to grief, when we ignore problems, or fail to meet our own responsibilities. And so many people could do so much better in life if we could come together and get even a few big things right in government. I acted on that belief as governor of Florida. It’s a record I’ll gladly compare with that of anyone else in the field.

Cut back on the calories, Jeb and you could feed several 3rd world nations.

Knock yourself out Jeb. It won't make any difference. They've heard it all before and discounted it in advance.

Jeb’s mascot should be the panda. Constantly panda-ring to whatever audience. Hillary as well.

Think of all the black children that were aborted and had their organs harvested by Planned Parenthood while Jeb was a member of Bloomberg’s Abortion foundation.

Yeah, there are unjust barriers to opportunity and upward mobility . . .

. . . starting with big government of the elite, by the elite and for the elite who think they are somehow entitled to not only the top spots on the pecking order, but to reorder the pecking order of those of us on the bottom.

And next, Jebbie will lecture us about white privilege and micro-aggression. And all you crazies who don't know how to address issues in an appropriate tone, you especially need to pay attention.

Says joe entitlement born with a silver spoon in his mouth, you wanna help the Mexicans and Hispanics? Go to their counties and commit acts of love to better them so they can stay there, until they are willing to follow our laws and get in line to wait their turn for a chance at legal immigration. We have enough actual Hispanic members of La Raza in America promoting illegals without a White boy wanna be Mexican joining in.

Like amnesty for foreign nationals who broke in?
That’ll help the Urban League’s constituency..........

PP isn’t about the health of women. We all know that.

When will black Americans figure out what is being done to them under the guise of women’s health?

don't get me wrong....I've vote for Jeb because a pub is always better in the White house than a rat....but....

I wonder what barriers he's talking about....staying in school...studying... getting pregnant at 14.... breaking the law.... dressing respectable... talking English...wearing your pants down hanging only on your male thing?....

gee if only we knew we could have it all and not got to school, not study,not stay somewhat moral, being a slob, etc....

its all good....we're all equal and we all deserve what I deserve right?

Why is this man not running as a democrap?

1. Open borders with amnesty.
2. Common core is great.
3. Obamacare is wonderful.
4. Upward mobility?
5. Nuke deal with Iran?

If the choice is between a Democrat and Democrat Lite, who would vote for Democrat Lite?
