The proposals sound like something out of Stalin’s Soviet Union.

No, Stalin’s proposals would be “Shoot YT and take his money.”

I sincerely believe that we don’t have a race problem in this country, What e have is a couture problem that just sometimes breaks down along races.

I’m not keen on associating with other cultures. If your going to act like an animal, I’m going to stay as far away from you as I can. It has nothing to do with the color of someones skin or where they came from, although it could seem to break down that way.

Act like a good American citizen/neighbor and I’ll treat you as such...

Forbes Mag editor Randall Lane is MSM all the way. Veteran of Newsweek and Daily Beast (sister pub of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker). Steve Forbes has become a fake.

I don’t see things like no babies out of wedlock, don’t do drugs, stay away from crime, go to church, be parents to your children. ..


We are not allowed to talk about such issues, because to talk about those issues means we are passing judgement on how some people choose to live their lives.

A key tenet of liberalism is that we are supposed to be non-judgemental. So that’s why you seldom hear discussion of the issues you mention here as obstacles to people’s advancement in life.

Totally agree. Culture is all that matters. Look around the world. The 3rd World is the 3rd World due to culture, not a lack of resources. Change the culture and you create opportunity.

EXACTLY. I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.

TAKE ALL THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO COMPLAIN THEY DON’T HAVE “EQUAL OPPORTUNITY” and shIp them off to the country of their choice.

I am sick and tired of a certain segment of the Black Community who CONTINUALLY complain about this same crap and the idiot moron whites who pander to them.

People come from Haiti, Africa, South America, and eastern Asia, NOT BEING WHITE and very often not even speaking our language AND THEY SUCCEED. MEANWHILE this segment of lazy, entitled, unmotivated native American blacks act as though society OWES them something.

SORRY. NOBODY ALIVE TODAY OWNED A SLAVE! IT AIN’T MY PROBLEM THE MOTHERS OF THESE PEOPLE LET SOME GUY KNOCK THEM UP AND THEN TOOK OFF TO KNOCK UP ANOTHER IDIOT.

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GROW UP AND FORBES NEEDS TO WISE UP.

They forgot:

A. Everyone puts their money in hat.
B. Everyone takes out $1 and passes the hat.
C. Around and around it goes.
D. When the last dollar is removed from the hat we declare victory - Equality At Last.

??? Seem like we are still living in the 70’s.

Libs, always propose the old failed policies as if they are brand new inventions.

Their excuses had always been ‘not enough money invested’. Note: ‘not enough “OTHER PEOPLE’s” money invested’ is what they say.

I find it hard to believe that this article was actually published anywhere in the last 25 years, let alone in Forbes magazine in 2015. LOL.

The idiocy in this piece is about the equivalent of publishing an article in 1905 called: "10 Proposals for Turning the Fort Apache Reservation into the World's Next Industrial Power."

I’m old enough to remember when Forbes wasn’t a radical left wing publication.

It’s the education establishment. Kids are fed Marxist facts and when they grow up, despite the reality around them, they never fact check. This woman is an Asian, but makes no mention of the high rate of achievement by mainly pro-family, mom/dad households that Asians come from.
