A brainwashed ideologue for sure. This apparently articulate black has no clue of economics.
He would understand what creates value and economic growth which leads to a better standard of living (and it’s NOT government’s hand on the scale).
Obama did not save the US from a Depression. Total Counterfactual Fallacy!! Obama’s prescription for a manufactured crisis caused by excess debt was ‘solved’ by more debt.
For example, Obama touted the point that GM was saved and criticized Romney for suggesting a controlled bankruptcy. Now, the headline is ‘GM tells court it not liable for claims over pre-bankruptcy cars’. Psst. GM went bankrupt.
How do they reconcile the difference between fact and fiction?
If he could, it’d be a first.
“Black people could learn a lot if they’d just watch what white people do and do that.”
While that is true there is a lot that white Americans can learn from Asian immigrants who save diligently, start their own businesses, focus on achievement, and have very strong family ties.
“Barack Obama literally saved America?” From what. Exactly what did he do to save America?
As was in his career with the Illinois Legislature, his tenure for the last 6 years has been marked by a continuation of voting “Present” or fighting against our needs on important issues for America, such as the economy, oil and gas, Islamic Terrorism, and a host of other issues.
Watching Germany being literally blackmailed into supporting the EU because of their Nazi past reminds me of the current trend of demands on US whites for alms for our slave past.
Rather than emulate Western civilization that has evolved fairer than other cultures because of industrialization*, their answer is always to reverse any advances, to drag us down a notch.
* The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution is a 2009 book by anthropologists Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending.
That writer may not know what “literally” and “saved” mean.
The writer is FOS!
What the blacks going to teach us? How to prepare rotted monkey for bushmeat? How to not run a country? How to get along with each other?
“THE BELL CURVE”
Stupid. Artificially dividing the population into two groups by skin shade and them assuming that everyone in each group thinks alike and differently from everyone in the other group.
Good reflection of what’s wrong with the country.
I won’t be able to comment on the article because I suffer from Chronic Racial Fatigue Syndrome.
“...because when we discuss America as a whole, the discussion always turns out to be “White, White, White.”
The author of this article uses this as the underlying premise of his entire article, but without a shred of support for it. We are just supposed to take his word for it.
Dr. Thomas Sowell already has. But, I’ll bet this guy doesn’t think he is authentically black.
.
i use to have a pretty open mind.
this mookabooner quota bot has changed my attitude.
The question is which black people? the gang banger thugs who rob and kill or the churching going blacks who work hard and raise their families right?
Far as I got.
Ummm, Eric L. Wattree does know blacks are only 13% of the population, right?
But that's not the issue.
Wattree's already in a political party that totally accepts him just the way he wants to be accepted. White Liberal Elite Democrats don't criticize blacks... for anything. In fact white liberal elites feel anything said about blacks that isn't a hundred percent positive is racist... If Wattree wants to tell white liberal elites how they should listen to him they will fall to their knees and agree. White liberal elites WANT to be lectured. Wattree should go to any campus and tell them... They'll buy every word.
If on the other hand Wattree expects white conservatives, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians etc to buy this stuff whole cloth without any input of reality to go with it, he is wrong. We can all have our own opinions, but not our own facts. Those we would have to debate. Something that would be good for both sides.
In the mean time, Wattree should be stay in White Liberal Elite Unicorn land... and not worry - be happy.
“Few people can legitimately deny that Barack Obama literally saved America”
Stopped reading right there.
A complete lunatic.
