"People say black folks vote Democrat because of the position we're in. Maybe black folks are where we at because we vote Democrat." "

OMG that's gonna send a chill down Demcrap leaderships!!!!

Some of their supporters are wakign up to what's been done to them since LBJ!

For his part, the Reverend Meeks promises to keep the heat on Democrats, while encouraging white conservatives to become more aware of the issues facing minority residents subjected decades of liberal-progressive social engineering, "I wouldn't call us victims, nobody is a victim. But the Lord knows these Democrats have victimized us."

There's actually some sense in that senseless comment. The way I usually say it is that we can't win them over by burning them out of the plantation. Instead we need to lure and encourage them to leave willingly.

The rats are jumping ship because they see Detroit in their path.

Assuming its not some Jesse-esque plot to extort current democrats this is great news. Dare I say its hugh?
All we need now is for someone to post that "Hell" road sign with the ice on it

IIRC, Rev. Meeks was strongly opposed to the redefinition of marriage bill that Madigan and Quinn foisted upon the state of Illinois.

I know I’m cynical but what’s in their hearts? Will they take the GOP even further left? The way I see it, you can’t parcel-out values. It’s a package deal. You can’t espouse traditional marriage but seek to expand welfare. You can’t embrace equality while touting affirmative action. That’s how we got into this mess.

[stars & stripes forever]

Win win for the Democrat Party.

All these years as loyal democrats and now with a black president Rev. Meeks is saying enough of this? Makes me wonder if there isn't a bit of jealousy involved here. After all, the Obamas are the ultimate house (censored). Living large in the White House and doing nothing to help reduce black unemployment, black on black crime, poverty etc. Saying if I had a son he'd look like Travon, was just a sop to his homies and I bet the know it.

The Germans have a national policy to train and relocate workers to areas that are creating jobs. They don’t move until the job is guaranteed. It’s a hand up—not a hand out. RAT policy puts people on a shelf in a warehouse and sticks an IV in their arm to sedate them. Giving people real opportunity is the best medicine. Unfortunately, trying to take jobs to the people ignores how the economy actually works. So instead of 7 or 8 guys stuffed into a Model T heading to Detroit, why not facilitate the process? A win for labor. A win for business. A win for government.
