Excellent, been thinking the same thing. Blacks are demanding to respected, adored and given special privileges no matter how offensive, angry, destructive and hostile they treat others.

The American Dream is available to all of us. If you set your sights, do the work and persevere, you can be millionaire NFL or NBA player. You can be a doctor or a lawyer or a congressman.

Demanding respect for being rude, crude, mean, hateful and violent is an epic fail. Stop whining, get back to the business of living and being decent citizens of this great country.

Successful millionaire whiners are so pathetic.

My husband said the black national anthem should be “Carry Me Back to Ol’ Wakanda”.

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams. . In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls,..Also did this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3877896/posts and this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3880192/posts

HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS

And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress an example is Illinois 3rd district

Todays Democrats weren’t happy with his funding votes against abortion and on being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd.

That was a district where those city wards were predominatly composed of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway. Those Wards were reliable William O Lipinski supporters of Dan’s father. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs

Kamala Harris is unfit to serve in ANY capacity!

Much less President!

“Until LBJ’s “Great Society,” black unemployment was way down...”

Actually that’s not true.

“The unemployment rate for African Americans in 2017 (the last full year of data) was 7.5 percent, 0.8 percentage points higher than it was in 1968 (6.7 percent). The unemployment rate for whites was 3.8 percent in 2017 and 3.2 percent in 1968.3

The unemployment data for these two years, almost 50 years apart, demonstrate a longstanding and unfortunate economic regularity: the unemployment rate for black workers is consistently about twice as high as it is for white workers.”

Also...

“Poverty rates. The share of African Americans living in poverty has declined substantially in the last five decades. Using the official federal poverty measure as a benchmark, over one-third (34.7 percent) of African Americans were in poverty in 1968. Today, the share in poverty is just over one in five (21.4 percent). For whites, the decline in the poverty rate was much smaller, from 10.0 percent in 1968 to 8.8 percent in 2016. In the most recent data, African Americans are about 2.5 times as likely to be in poverty as whites. (In 1968, they were 3.5 times as likely to be in poverty.)6”

From https://www.epi.org/publication/50-years-after-the-kerner-commission/

I don’t disagree that the “Not So Great Society” has done way more harm than good for everyone concerned, and more so for blacks because they were targeted more. But that doesn’t negate the significant AVERAGE correlation between race and quality of behavior (which in my view, is heavily correlated to AVERAGE IQ).

Your assertion begs the question that if blacks were doing so good prior to LBJ, what was the rationale behind the Great Society?

You see there is a synergistic relationship between the left and blacks (or any other minority that’s perceived to be aggrieved). The left sense of justice is animated by the idea of “equality of existence”. The leftist elitists simply cannot abide the reality that some people do better than others, are smarter than other, are more successful than others. To them this is patently unfair and it insults their sense of justice to no end, and are on the warpath to eradicate it.

And blacks are their perfect object for their crusades, the most in need of that “egalitarian justice”, the reason being that they are easily recognized AND because they have struggled everywhere in the world pretty much throughout history and continue to do so - they can be their PERMANENT victim object group to save from the oppressors. They are much target of their “affection” than what the left used to aim their “justice” at, the “working class”, for two reasons. First because they’re easily identifiable and second because unlike the working class which was very mobile in the economic ladder, blacks on the AVERAGE have always tended to occupy the lower rungs, and most likely will continued to do so for the reason I mentioned above.

Listen, I realize that what I’m saying is considered blasphemous in polite society conditioned by decades of indoctrination that all races are the same and that the only reason blacks don’t do as well is because of white racism (which is the only valid conclusion you can reach if you start with that false premise), but if you open your eyes and look all over the world and disabuse yourself of all the propaganda that we have been subjected to (tough to do, I know) and instead start believing your lying eyes, you will reach similar conclusions that I have.

And this is not through any sense of malice, but only as a result of being brutally honest with oneself and the acceptance of reality, unpleasant as it might be. Only after you get to that point can you constructively and rationally address the problem and set up conditions that allow everyone to do their best.

Go argue with Thomas Sowell, but I suspect he’ll cite more than two points on a curve, the first of which is during the first year of Great Society, and the second of which is during the first year of Trump. How about from 1940 to 1968, and from 1968 to 2017.

“The unemployment rate for African Americans in 2017 (the last full year of data) was 7.5 percent, 0.8 percentage points higher than it was in 1968 (6.7 percent). The unemployment rate for whites was 3.8 percent in 2017 and 3.2 percent in 1968.3
