I’m not a basketball fan.

Using your method of watching games, you could probably watch the last 5 minutes in maybe actually 5 minutes, by ff through all the timeouts. Otherwise, it would take about 30 minutes.

This has established that cumulative audiences for live Premier League programming rose 11 per cent to 1.35 billion.

OK, like I said it out draws ping pong and curling.

And I still don't give a fat rat's ass.

I have started listening to Mark Levin and Rush on youtube 1.20 instead of 3 hours.

I don’t believe many whites feel guilt; I believe many are forced to pretend to feel guilt.

I was shocked at how resigned my teens are that this situation will never go away - because even at their relatively young ages they understand blacks don’t want an honest discussion. They want to lecture/scold, and nobody is listening; after 50 years, it became repetitive nonsense.

“I was shocked at how resigned my teens are that this situation will never go away”

And so what do they plan to do about it? Are they just going to keep on taking it, because if that’s their plan it’s only going to get much worse for them.

“even at their relatively young ages they understand blacks don’t want an honest discussion.”

Of course not, what do blacks have to gain from an honest conversation that it’s their irresponsible behavior that puts them where they are.

But sadly the situation, is worse and more intractable than that. The reality is that it doesn’t matter whether the conversation is honest or not. No place on earth and at no point in history have blacks and whites been able to live peacefully together.

Why? For the following reason. Two groups of people that have significantly different AVERAGE IQ and whose members are easily identified as belonging to one or the other group can never peacefully coexist together.

Think about that for a moment and you’ll come to the same conclusion. It’s the reality we see in the US everyday.

The only inescapable conclusion is that separation of the races into separate countries is the only solution and the best thing for both races.

It’s a sad reality and a tough one to deal with. But until your teens and my teens accept it and are willing to do what it takes to achieve it, their lives will only get more miserable and be accused of all sort of made up atrocities that they’ll be forced to atone for.

So the first honest conversation they have to have is with themselves.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all baseball stats pre-1947 get an asterisk.

Or all asterisks get removed to be fair to the ‘modern era players ’.
(Though I do think Pete Rose deserves the Hall of Fame because of his time as a player not his managerial failings)

O.J. Simpson is in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Pete Rose is not in the baseball Hall of Fame.

I hope they understand the primary lessons in how to deal with it: Breed and vote.

Without them, there is no solution in a country where policy is decided by elections.

I don’t believe blacks and whites can’t live together peacefully; I see the conflict between hardworking West Indian and West African workers and their American black co-workers, and I know most people would be quite content to live with the former - while the former are quite happy to come here and strive for the same goals as many white Americans.
