They are going all-in. They will make their move before the vacuity of their ideas becomes obvious to all — and that means the time grows short.
It takes the whole village to drag the cart to the top of the hill.
Utter BS and revisionist history.
Republicans, most of whom were Conservatives, were the ones who passed the Civil Rights Bill in the first place.
Another attempt by the left to re write history to fit they current agenda
Is this true?
In this era of affirmative action, I could imagine that a resume from Malcolm Jamal or Latisha might get more call backs than a resume from Jason, Justin, or Jared.
Well, this is from Salon, which is well known to be a liberal mouthpiece.
Wealth redistribution has been going on since the end of the War Between The States.
It really kicked into high gear when LBJ decided to put blacks back on the Government Plantation and get them living on handouts paid for with money extorted from working taxpayers.
Obama has brought it to a new level with his stimulus money handouts, his $17 trillion dollar debt, record deficits, record unemployment, destruction of the middle class and half the population sucking the government teat.
Wealth redistribution is why the USA is heading down the democrat/liberal/socialist toilet bowl.
The writer likes to make stuff up. It was the democrats that fought against the bill.
The usual leftist lies to rewrite history.
Damned be all of those arch-conservatives in Chitcago and Boston! Oh wait....
Redistribution of wealth is happening NOW through the back door. One big way this happens is the Federal Reserve’s Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP).
ZIRP denies interest to those who work hard and have savings. At the same time, it offers nearly unlimited capital to Government (at all levels) at very low (near zero) interest rates. This allows entitlement spending to grow to near infinity with few consequences (in the short term, anyway). With ZIRP, savers continually lose ground as the amount of interest they get is well below the true rate of inflation.
Eventually ZIRP will not be enough and you will see a Negative Interest Rate Policy (NIRP). Under NIRP, you will have to PAY to keep your $$ safe (let’s say 1-2% of your principal each year). And that is even after inflation.
It’s coming—count on it.
I agree! I think Michael Jordon, Will Smith, Tiger Woods, Barrack Obama and Snoop Dogg should all give me half their wealth so I can be rich too... cuz its not fair for them to have so much and me to have so little!

Anyone who writes complete drivel like this article needs to voluntarily donate to their own scheme.
Those who carp about reparations need to divest their money and donate to any black they meet walking down the street in Philly or Baltimore or NYC.
Those who advocate suicide to end overpopulation, should act on that belief and off themselves.
Those who, like Al Gore, advocate a completely upside down lifestyle change must become the stationary herbivores living in unheated and unair-conditioned 100 square foot apartments taking showers rarely.
The Obamas need to vacation closer to DC and stop adding to the carbon emissions along with every single celebrity posing as an environmental crusader as they pollute the skies not to mention the land with ridiculously huge houses.
I could go on. I won’t.
Let’s start with the wealth accumulated by Salon, Soros, Clintons, Kerry, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedys, Reich, Buffett, Gates, Steyer, Jackson, Sharpton, and so on.
And by redistribution, it means actually giving the money away to individual people they claim must have it, not to political organizations whose purpose is to gobble up money for bribes that go to make politicians, like those above, even richer than they already are.
Put up or shut up.
Thomas Pikettys the author of book Capital in the 21st Century is a French neo Marxist who has bragged about being a policy consultant who has had a major impact on the Obama Administrations policies and one who is held in high esteem by President Obama personally.
This article puts into perfect perspective what Pikettys writings are all about and the fact that this guy’s ideas mirror those of the Administration and are a major influence is rather telling
Start with yours.
funny how Asians arrive here constantly with nothing and in just a few decades are usually rich.
why is it blacks have had 150+ years and still can’t get their act together? could the fault lie with them? and not some imagined boogy man?
I'm not so sure that is something to be proud of. The so called 'Civil Rights Bill' has turned out to be an anti-white abomination. We have more race crap now than we have ever had almost all of it in the name of 'civil rights'. 'Civil rights' permeate our laws, schools, work place, institutions etc. there are literally thousands of race based political, lobby groups and social group most of it decidedly anti-white. When they passed this legislation they forgot to tell whites that 'civil rights' doesn't apply to them and how anti-white it would all be. Kinda like the immigration act of 1965.
