“And yet they still hate America, and are still filled with resentment.”

BEcause they have been TAUGHT that resentment by folks like Rev. Wright, and morons like the author of this racist trash!

The irony of what Wright, Sharpton, and their ilk are doing is that they are actually hurting blacks, and pushing them toward failure rather than success. If you really want to help people succeed, you teach them that, fundamentally, they are in charge of their destiny. You empower them that way.

If you teach people that they are victims of circumstances beyond their control — in the case of black “community organizers,” victims of “the man” — you momentarily make them feel better because you give them someone else to blame for their own poor decisions. But, ultimately, you encourage helplessness.
