Not to hijack the thread, but as a tangent, let me say this is just a preview of what is going to happen in all of our cities when we establish large foreign diaspora through amnestying tens of millions of illegal aliens.

Hey, Jorge Bush! Hey, Fat Teddy Kennedy! Hey, Juan MacCain! When the country is riven by social unrest through your weak and cowardly leadership, please don't say there was no one warning you of what was going to happen!

???? Well, first of all, she is not responsible for all her countrymen. As I am not for mine. Second, she is a woman of faith and integrity, and has chosen a high road. However, she does recognize sloth and slovenliness when she sees it.

Africans not “authentic” blacks.

There is no LOVE between the “african-americans” and any of the black africans, regardless of the tribe.

You got that right. I observed the same animosities between American blacks and the Ugandans security forces used in Iraq. They did not like each other...period.

Here’s an update of the story from roanoke.com:

City code inspectors on site today at troubled apartment complex
One inspector finds condemned apartment still occupied.

By Rob Johnson

Three Roanoke code inspectors began an inquiry into all 40 units of Maple Grove Apartments, a blighted complex in Northwest Roanoke where tensions between Somali-Bantus and American-born blacks have drawn the attention of police in recent days.

As reported today in The Roanoke Times, four of the apartments have been cited for various code deficiencies, such as mold-ridden drywall, since mid-March. Residents say poor maintenance of the apartments contributes to tensions that boil over into anger aimed at each other.

On Thursday, Vontina Durham, one of the inspectors, discovered evidence that an apartment unit she had officially condemned April 2 was still occupied – although it had been ordered vacated.

“You need to get out,” she told the tenant, Tricia Arrington, who has five children. Arrington protested that she had already moved and had returned to collect personal belongings. But Durham said the smell of urine, among other things, indicated the apartment was still occupied.

The apartments are owned by Dr. George Abraham, a Roanoke allergist. Abraham met with The Roanoke Times for near an hour on Monday and declined to answer any questions about the apartments on the record.

Inspectors began preparing what seems certain to be a long list of needed maintenance to report to Abraham, who has owned the complex for five years. Inspector Troy Coles told Abraham’s maintenance worker that the exterior of the buildings need cleaning, and promised advice in renting a pressure washer. What’s more, Coles told him, “Pretty much the whole complex will need repainting.”

I guess we can thank the elimination of the “National Origins” section of the immigration laws by that pompous, gun stealing swimmer.

But in the case of MUSLIMS, we can thank Jorge and the current Congress for not stopping their influx.

You know what this is about, don’t you?

The recent African immigrants are, by comparison, highly successful,

and are putting the lie to the “systemic racism” excuse being used by our own several generations old trained victim class.

That’s why American #000000’s hate them. They expose the lie of the perpetually aggrieved that they have to be on welfare and can’t work on their own because of systemic racism.

Of course I know what it’s all about. That’s precisely why I find it so rich.

Africans not welcome? Well, then, why are the African-Americans living there? /rhet.

To tell how bad that area is, they were talking of naming it or another street close to it Martin Luther King BLVD. Don’t go down that street at night.
