I conclude that they're a massive redistribution program. Jesse, Sharpton, the Chicago Revrun aldercreatures, and various assorted race hucksters get their snouts in the gravy train, and the more than enough which is left goes to the moocher class. The elites get their undying gratitude and their votes, many times even more than one per voter (and from moochers so grateful that they continue to vote rat even once they're dead). The only losers are the productive middleclass taxpayers who get nothing except the threat of fines, penalties, chunks of their labor stolen from them through confiscatory taxes, and all this at the point of (so-far) metaphoric gun, and a real chance of jail if they don't give the loot up.

That’s why it bothers the left not a jot that the redistribution of productivity through these “welfare” programs never works to ameliorate the stated problems, and why their solution, without fail, is to throw more money (middleclass taxpayers’ stolen wages) at the problem. Sure it doesn’t accomplish the stated goal-to “end” poverty, etc-but it gives them a bigger and growing trough in which to stick their snouts. That’s the important thing.

Race plays its part. Race is one of the primary factors in the growth of a culture, and culture affects the kinds of societies people create. This can be seen all over the US and all over the world. If people were interchangeable like puzzle pieces, then they would all create equally successful communities, cities, and countries wherever they are geographically. That hasn’t been the case.

But the Obama Administration has not improved the situation of blacks. In fact, blacks themselves complain that Obama has not helped them.

Well, it is news to me, not reported elsewhere in the USA, that the first 3 Citizen Casualties of the Obamacare War are African-Americans.

It is stunning that the American Pravda Press is SO BOUND by ideology that they see fit to leave out so many critical details.

"Warning bells: Is US shutdown orchestrated by a black President and the white leader of the Senate brewing an African-American revolt?"

Well - Chidanand Rajghatta - Senator Reid would look at you with those snake's eyes and ask: "Why would we do that?"

"the small cabal of Tea Party lawmakers represent a mostly-white constituency in Middle America that resents against any government role"

This constituency also strenuously objects to the criminal elements in the Government who receive promotions and raises when they commit crimes against conservatives. And what would the Congressional Black Caucus say about the waste, fraud, and abuse by the Federal Government and the harassment of religious and conservative groups? Well, as they would say in the 60's and 70's - It ain't no thang but a chicken wang.

I never heard he was black. . . .

If he wasn't before, he is now.

This reporter does nothing for the credibility of the media...amazing how much he got wrong, yet there it is published in black and white and spread around the world. With this kind of “reporting” no wonder the LIV’s think there is global warming.

Yup, Blacks are disadvantaged. That implies that some force, law or action is actively creating a disadvantage for Black Americans. What or who is this disadvantager? I'd like to know.

There is also no comment or concern of the costs or disadvantages of using government power to "enforce healthcare" (whatever that means). So the people paying are just racists for seeing their own family budgets, jobs, businesses, future get pissed away by a bunch on criminals in government. It's just racist, that's all.

The blindness of these people truly astounds.

Small point about this article.

American blacks are NOT disadvantaged. Under the law they not only have every advantage, they have extra advantages. This is true socially as well. Academia and every large business in the U.S. sets a very low bar for you, if you are black.

This is what all the zombie movies and programs are symbolic of. I think we should start the rumor and spread it that all the zombie shows are actually racist and see how quickly they get pulled for PC reasons.

I'm almost surprised that the 2 White guys in the photo aren't being demonized and prosecuted for "not doing enough because of the color of the poor guy's skin"...

Pretty sad how cynical many of us have become because of the crap the Left keeps dishing out as "food for their masses".

The real question to be extrapolated from the acts is not if AA’s are in revolt, but if AA’s are all mentally unstable.

Such a sample that turns out 100% of the mentally unstable miscreants were black can lead to the conclusion that a substantial portion of the black community are mental.

Take Chicago for a focus. Blacks routinely kill each other for no reason. More young black men have died in Chicago from killing each other than all the recent wars overseas. They must be mental.

They don’t have to be from India. Very few foreigners understand American conservatism and the constitution. Most foreign scribblers are decidedly ultra-liberal and think all governments are for giving away goodies to various people. The strange thing is that while many native Indians have emigrated to the horrible U.S., virtually nobody emigrates to India. Now why would that be? As usual, leftists can’t seem to buy a clue.
