a tremendous number of NON-Prejudiced people are sick and tired of all these racist programs using, spending our tax money based on skin color

Yeah, everything except promote the traditional family and the associated values. Never mind the use of Cain’s words once more.

The “school-to-prison pipeline”? Really? Maybe the stupid recruits should just throw a “monkey wrench” into the works to avoid that outcome. I’m just sayin’...

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set.
Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” ~Barack Obama

Well that’s mighty Black of him! Screw the young men who lack pigmentation. Why don’t Obama, the Salt Vampire he married and Holder just stand with clenched fist raise and scream Black Power! They might as well with their lack of subtlety.

Atlas Shrugged is not a novel. It's a documentary.

Whatever it is, its not gonna end well.You got that right.
Obama can't change the high rates of unwed motherhood and the RAVAGES from fatherless families.
I once read a comment saying that it would be NICE if the African-American community could have a discussion, dialogue, whatever, without ONCE using the word "white."
I don't think it could be done. What do you think?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
The first part involves a group of business and foundation leaders who have come together around implementing and testing strategies in various cities that zero in on key moments in the lives of young men times where interventions have shown the most impactful results. That includes making sure the children are ready to learn once they get to school and keeping them out of the criminal justice system.
The second element is an internal effort within the federal government that will focus on using results and evidence to evaluate what has worked and what hasnt. This component will use existing federal resources and the information learned will be shared with the public in hopes of spreading best practices... Blah blah blah. If you read those two paragraphs again, you'll notice that there's nothing concrete that can be measured and evaluated. There's only platitudes and an opportunity to throw some taxpayer money around. I want a job writing crap like that.
"The effort will hinder inner city divisiveness, replacing it with a counterbalance of opportunity and uplift. Funding for growth and life-bettering educational efforts will come from existing programs repurposed and reevaluated with an emphasis on collaboration in a public and private spirit of cooperation..."
