A lot of people are still living on the plantation.
A lot of people are still slaves.
A lot of people are afraid to try and be anything more than that.
And this is not exclusively a problem for people with dark skin. We have a pretty diverse class of people hooked on dependency these days.
Real simple— black politicians are well paid by their masters to manage the labor pool, and keep them well downtrodden with all kinds of payment programs to keep them dependent. Their masters apply this to many other demographics in the US in the same way... keep up the minimal largesse, disincentivize initiative and pride of self, and thus keep everyone... in their place under our overlords.
People like Zuckerberg, the disturbed little twerp and his dominatrix chi-com wife. The Communists intend to be the next plantation owners of our Republic. It will not be allowed, by any and all the means our Constitution provides, and the People may take.
There’s poverty caused by misfortune.
There’s poverty caused by politics and politicians.
There’s also poverty caused by laziness and unwillingness to work. I have no sympathy at all for the last category.
No, she’s specifically talking about “communities of color.” Just so we’re clear, a group of people is going to receive different (preferential) treatment based solely on the color of their skin. I’m pretty sure that’s called racism.
Whitey.
LBJ did it...
A basket of live crabs is often used as a good analogy for what life is like in black culture. Anyone who has seen crabs in a basket will notice that when one tries to crawl out and escape, the other crabs will grab him and drag him back in.
Who Is to Blame for White Poverty?
One can transcend and overcome the energy level and role of perceived victimhood by taking responsibility for the consequences of one’s own perceptions. This requires the belief that nothing out there has power over you. It isn’t life’s events, but how one reacts to them and the attitude that one has about them, that determines whether such events have a positive or negative effect one’s life, whether they’re experienced as opportunity or as stress.
Do blacks have any responsibility for their lives?
The problem is that our welfare net is too generous and too large.
Black culture sucks. I learned all about it.
I grew up in a 100% all white community. Later on took a job as a director at Memphis based company where I learned first hand about black people/black culture.
-Never knew what black people time was before then. Learned all about BPT first week.
-Had some great black employees but a high percentage was flat out lazy. Doing just the bare minimum was common
-Whining and victimhood from the blacks was constant even from the good workers.If management did somethig they did not like it was raaayyycism and this was 1990.
When I moved to Memphis the company boarded me in one of their company owned apartments for a month. When looking for my own apartment the HR director pulled out a map and told me do not rent in any of these areas circled in red.
After 3 years I had enough
Politicians. Lazy people. Men that love to get some and run. Women that open their legs to those men.
The welfare state.
Wasn't it actually the new Liberalism, coming out of the 60s, that shaped the world of Michael Brown? The enormously seductive power of 1960s liberalism was and is its promise to redeem and deliver us from the evils of white supremacy? This liberalism was so transformative that even many conservatives fell under its sway. Wasn't this liberalism far more focused on assuaging white guilt than on developing blacks?Back in the 60s, we blacks made a very bad deal with America. We demanded that America help us develop. But if this was logical it also was naive. It seduced us into putting our fate right back into the hands of the same white America that had oppressed us in the first place.
We began to live by a formula. America's racial guilt was our power. White guilt became Black Power.
Of course, there was a catch. To milk white guilt we had to always be victims of white racism. White racism and black victimization became the heart and soul of liberal power in America.
-- Dr. Shelby Steele, from "What Killed Michael Brown," a documentary film produced by Dr. Steele and his son Eli
the world needs only so many rappers and athletes.
The message of existentialism, unlike that of many more obscure and academic philosophical movements, is about as simple as can be.
It is that every one of us, as an individual, is responsible, responsible for what we do, responsible for who we are, responsible for the way we face and deal with the world, responsible, ultimately, for the way the world is.
It is, in a very short phrase, the philosophy of NO excuses!
Life may be difficult; circumstances may be impossible. There may be obstacles, not the least of which is our own personalities, characters, emotions and limited means or intelligence.
But, nevertheless, we are responsible.
We cannot shift the burden onto God, or nature, or the ways of the world. If there is a God we choose to believe [and choose not to believe]. If nature made us one way, it is up to us to decide what we are to do with what nature gave us whether to go along or fight back, to modify or transcend nature.
It’s blacks themselves
They are hardly helpless sheep
Democrats Republicans
I would not put one gram of faith in the GOPe anymore
A fools bargain
Walter Williams addressed this years ago while filling in for Rush. He said in the 1950’s, blacks had solid families just like whites. Then President Lyndon Johnson pushed through his war on poverty. That war basically paid men to leave their families in exchange for all sorts of government benefits.
Williams said Johnson’s War on Poverty did more damage to blacks than the KKK could have every dreamed of.
70% of their kids born into one-family homes is all anyone needs to know.....
