If true, they have only themselves to blame for voting in Democrats like Obama so many times over the years

I used to see that too. Guys in scuff slippers (’Romeos’ and fuzzies) and the ladies in housecoats and PJs.
I’m guessing they just need more time to ‘assimilate.’ Maybe in another 400 years they’ll figure things like this out.

The community just needs more organizin’ n agitatin’ n stuff. Forget about being upstanding citizens, speaking English, behaving, getting an education, being punctual, not carrying a chip on your shoulder, and leading a moral and straight life.

but bashing someone's head on the sidewalk makes them feel better, especially if they can blame the bashee.

How can this be when Obama is in the White House, making things better for everyone especially his black brothers and sisters?

Seriously, if you go up to most inner city blacks, and ask them what they want to do with their lives, what would they say, I suspect most of them would say, “Get High, Get Money...” But they really don’t have much ambition at all.

"Every since Obama has been in, there's been an increase in jobs in the private sector but black unemployment has increased. Why? Because we work in the public sector." -- A. Sharpton

And just why do "we work in the public sector"? Hmmm?

Talk about the bigotry of low expectations. And by Mr. Sharpton himself, no less.

Mr. Sharpton, please explain where to find these increased jobs in the private sector. Almost 10 million people have left the labor force since your Lord was immaculated. Almost every job in the private sector is a part time job at low wages in the service industry.

Dream Defenders want to replace “stand your ground” with “Trayvon’s Law,” which will require law enforcement to create policies that prevent racial profiling and end what they call the school-to-prison pipeline — the funneling of young people from public schools into the juvenile justice system or jail with “zero-tolerance” rules.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/trayvon-martin/os-trayvon-martin-zimmerman-protesters-20130726,0,2146252.story

They want Trayvon’s Law — immunity from prosecution for the crimes they commit.

I agree with the credit check to get a job. It doesn’t make sense. When I was in management back in the 80s I hired a woman as a salesperson. She was damn good. Two weeks after I hired her I got a call from my boss that I had to fire her because she had bad credit. I couldn’t believe it. I told him they might as well fire me, too, ‘cause my credit sucked at the time. Why? Because I had been unemployed for six months. It’s stupid.

A young black man was interviewed in East Cleveland and said they want out but don’t have the money to get out. I guess I’ll ask this question until the day I die: What is the solution?

We do have opportunity here. Don’t get me wrong. There are places where it’s hard to make things work though. Inner cities can be a hard place to move on up. Certain areas of large cities where poor Blacks live, have few jobs in the area.

Look, I’m not dumping on our nation, but I think we have to acknowledge that there are some places where it isn’t easy to climb out. That’s all.
