Respect must be earned.
Well, Mr. Law’s racist proposal will most likely go nowhere. I predict less than 1% of black Americans will follow his orders. But Law is indicative of the attitude of too many black people: (white) America is cheating them. Does Law understand that he and other black Americans are simply Americans who are black? That’s it.
Because they lament that he will never become a Democrat Senator...
One, SYG law had nothing to do with TM’s death nor GZ’s acquittal. Two, police abuses and mistakes affect everyone, regardless of race. If they seem to be happening disproportionately to one race or another it probably has more to do with the number of raids etc in those neighborhoods. More crime, more police activity, more chance of police mistakes or abuse.
his ‘memory’?
trayvon was into drugs, petty theft and street fights. basically a thug’s life.
are they saying the money should be directed towards that?
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet, I needed a little comedy this morning. With that said, might I address the audience from a black perspective?
Thank you.
I will ignore the fact that this writer takes bits a pieces of history completely out of context to fit his agenda. (how in the world does one expect to advance filled with all that hate and anger?). Let’s just deal with the $1 trillion in so-called ‘black’ dollars in the economy, shall we?
One of his quotes answers his own question: “...All recent studies point out that Black consumer spending is at an all time high, while Black communities suffer the highest unemployment, the lowest median family income, and the highest debt. African Americans still out-spend all other ethnic groups, in all categories...”
Translation: Most black people with money don’t spend it in the own communities.
a) Number of black people that make a decent living who reside in the ghetto: 0. As soon as you make enough to get out of those hell-holes, you leave (except for the few rap thugs who don’t have the good sense to listed to the words from a Kenny Rogers song, and are promptly executed for it.)
b) It is not safe to have a small business in the hood, and the insurance and tax rates are too high for a large size business. The home, the public school systems, the local churches (formerly the backbone of the black community) have been high-jacked and so degraded to the point that they are now trying to import a whole new underclass (read: amnesty) to replace what can only be called a ‘failed social experiment’.
Where I live, I personally get my haircut at a place owned and operated by gentlemen who don’t speak English to socialize and conduct business, and all have just enough arm and neck skin-ink to indicate that cutting hair is a step-up from their previous trade craft. I ,and other black men go there because it SAFER and MORE ECONOMICAL than going to the ones in the hood. And beside, you know there isn’t going to be in trouble in there - cuz NOBODY’s crossing these Homies, gringo.
While growing up, I could name at least 20 black business alone in the black community that was targeted by thugs, and forced to close (some by the murder of the proprietor). I even tried to start a small business myself back in the hood a few decades back. Guess what? The city and tax regulations (ran by the lefties) made it near impossible. Not to mention the week after I made it known that I opened a bicycle shop out of my home, thugs began ‘casing the joint’.
There are many successful black business people. But they will not live, work or shop in the hood. Where is Oprah gonna find a $38K handbag on MLK Blvd? What the author seems to miss in all of his blind rage is that the black community he envisions, is all but dead. The good people have escaped. All that’s left are zombies and demons in dark skin, who are now terrorizing the countryside.
This is laughable.
He points out that blacks have the highest consumer spending despite also having the highest unemployment and lowest median incomes.
How can this be?
He answers this question in the very same sentance: blacks have the highest debt too.
So when he says that blacks should be strategic in how they spend “their” money, he’s really saying that blacks should be strategic in spending the money that others (whites?) have provided them ...
jimjohn, thank you for the much needed perspective. The truth is often difficult to come by these days...
Lies, lies and more lies. “Grandma” Eleanor Bumpers lived in government assisted home. She was complaining about her appliances and water not running (stating Reagan was coming into her apartment and breaking the appliances) and there are reports about city inspectors coming into her place where they found urine and feces in jars all over the house. The police showed up after she chased out one of these inspectors out of her home, holding a knife. She was going to be institutionalized and when cops came into her house, they found her naked as she lounged at them, holding a knife. She was no small woman, weighing over 300 lbs. I wonder what Mr. Law would have done, facing an angry, over 300 lbs naked woman, holding a butcher knife, coming at him.
P.S. Hard to post so many sentences from a mobile device so my apologies for abruptness of my post.
I will make sure that I will not do business with any company or corporation that supports Black Ku Klux Klan Racist “Justice for Trayvon” nonsense. I do not advocate my own lynching
Had black leaders listened to Booker T Washington and not WEB duBois we might not be having this conversation. It’s amazing when you travel through black communities, urban Harlem, suburban Hempstead and see few if any black owned businesses save hair salons and barber shops.The author is correct,economic power is the basis of political clout. Too bad they did not accept that a century ago and relied on the govt to protect and advance their agendas.
Exactly
WEB DuBois was an outright Communist...and was even visiting the USSR before the US recognized it. Look what it has done for Blacks
One trillion dollars of spending power? How much of that is with their own money?
RE Pic:
Oh yeah... now THERE’S a real american... (not)...Lakweesha, LeVonda, Tanoosha...whatever...
Wen Trayvon was shot and killed in self defense, the state of Florida was denied the right to try him for felonious assault and attempted murder.
The other part of what she states is correct. If black communities had the business of the residents in the area, it would serve them well. It would involve a different culture than what we have now. When a business opens in these areas, theft, "no snitching", violent crime and dangers getting to and from them make success impossible. Nothing changes until the black communities change.
Take a look at this youtube(skip forward to 1:30) to see what happens when multiple cops confront one crazy man with a knife. If the knife guy is within 7 yards, then the gun guys are in trouble.
If blacks were doing nothing but just following the race pimps for the Klan With A Tan and leaving the rest of us alone I’d say fine. The more you make your people less qualified in the market place you make more room for my people.
The problem is that they don’t keep their inferior culture to themselves but inflict it on every segment of society.
Like absolutely everything in life, when taken to the extreme good ideas become bad and diversity comprising of contributing members of society is a good idea. Diversity including human debris is a path to destroying society.
Proof: Look what incorporating Muslims has done for ANY country. Diversity does not mean adding weeds to your garden.
It's early, but I think we have the post of the day.
You are absolutely right. Which brings to mind the proper way of handling thugs with knives and swords http://youtu.be/anEuw8F8cpE so enjoy :)
