Sharpton is a criminal who got rich off the media, instead of going to jail.

Somebody already wired the money out of the account, and it’s sitting in their freezer.

Yup, he nailed it. The blacks of Sharpton's ilk continue in the dysfunctional attitude that the world owes them a living. This keeps these blacks poor and dependent while lining Sharpton's pockets.

The blacks of Bill Cosby's ilk understand that America doesn't owe them a thing except to protect their God-given freedoms and peaceable pursuits of happiness and success.

Hey Al, how 'bout NO ONE gets ANYTHING given to them, and WE all do this thing called WORK to get what we EARN?

I doubt that many freepers spend a lot of time in court.
Some of Holder’s people show up for hearings in their pajamas and slippers/scuffs; first time I saw it, I couldn’t believe it.

In the last 40 years or so there have been about 10 trillions dollars worth of checks to blacks that have cleared with no problem.And what did I,and people like me (net *contributors* to the US Treasury),get in return?

Detroit,for starters.

Well, maybe the checks did bounce...

But so far, the EBT cards are functioning correctly.
