An Asian friend of mine made his way across the border from China to Hong Kong years ago with nothing in his pockets.

He made his way to the U.S. and at one time lived in a chicken coop while he bicycled to work at a mortuary. Now there's a nice job.

I think he understood that at every point in time it was essential that he live within his means and accumulate something.

I have plenty of work that could be done around my place. But I have no intention of paying two or three times minimum wage which is what many of the illegals in my area are charging. So the work remains undone and there are no jobs.

I predict that in twenty years in the U.S. there will be many, many people living in what would pass for a chicken coop. Some will thrive and others won't. Few, however, will be on government assistance.

Did 97% of Jim Jones’ followers voluntarily drink the kool-aid?

So LBJ’s Great Society, affirmative action, black president and even black mayor of Philadelphia still have black folks disadvantaged? Yet they will mock a success story like Dr Ben Carson or RG3 because they don’t fit the mold. Being blind, stupid and easily manipulated is a recipe for failure for anyone not just blacks who think small with little vision.

How come most immigrant Africans who come here don’t moan and complain but adjust fairly well in America? They are a whole lot friendlier and with less bad attitudes too.
Our so called racial problems in America are so minimal despite what the loud mouthed race baiters and their enablers in the media spout off-— buncha liars all.

A black person with a job skill who is intelligent, diligent, courteous, positive attitude and of good character can and does achieve success in America. Its what MLK envisioned and preached about but those blacks who choose or live the loser mentality need a reality check up. As a white person I absolutely love seeing a black person succeed and prosper by legal means. All power to them and less power to the losers with chips on their shoulders. As Zig Ziglar said, ‘your attitude determines your altitude’ in life.

more than half of male African-American high school dropouts are unemployed

There's a reason to stay in school, dip wads. Don't blame your stupid choice on whitey.

The vast majority of the violence in the black community is being carried out by the black community. The root causes of this are a lack of self-responsibilty and the off shoots of that are single mothers, gangster lifestyles, blaming your problems on everyone else and a disrespect for anything considered “white” (like an actual education- not what passes for it in inner-city schools).

The biggest reason the violent, gangsta-thug culture is dominant in the black community right now is that the black community has accepted is as ‘black culture’. Do not go blaming inanimate objects or “society” for the actions of punks, by doing so you are exonerating the violent punks who will go and commit more crimes thinking “It isn’t my fault, I can’t help it”.

Until the black community rejects violent culture, rejects the hate and animosity toward non-blacks and blaming them for all their problems instead of blaming the problem-makers, nothing is going to change.

Tell young black girls not to put out unless baby daddy is married to her. Tell young black men to pull up their pants, speak English, get up, go to school, get a job and take care of their woman and their kids. Find or hire a thousand black versions of George Zimmerman to watch your neighborhoods. Stop excusing crime.

Stop looking the other way while stores are robbed or burned down and non-blacks are threatened and beaten regularly to keep ‘them’ out and then complain and cry “racism” when nobody wants to do business in your neighborhood.

Ironic how it has gotten considerably worse since their hero ObaMao was elected, isn’t it?

More like poetic - they thought they had the all-time sugar-daddy. Remember some gal in Florida being interviewed and saying she wouldn't have to pay her rent or pay for gas in her car anymore? Obama and other Black slavers peddled it and they bought it.

bad credit often reflects poor personal decisions and irresponsibility, not victimhood

when 100 people apply for one job (or one rental apartment, it is a screening tool to narrow the field

of course as a business owner or landlord you are free to disregard credit history and choose whoever you choose

my DD is in high school

I suggest anyone looking for reasons for our social rot spend one day subbing in high school and see how many of our minority (or nonminority) yoots you would hire as employees. Attitude rules. Adults cave. It truly is a jungle out there and it starts in middle school if not sooner.

And who, pray tell did Jesse help elect POTUS, and what has he done to help this situation?

and illiterate or at best semi literate, technically incompetent, uneducated and lazy. That of course doesn’t count when trumped by being on drugs that incapacitate and render performing at a simple job.

And just think, Jesse, it’s going to get much worse and will probably never get any better regardless of how much of my money is confiscated from me by your central socialist government.

You and other pimps like Sharpie have assisted greatly in creating a sewer for American negroes.
