Sowell is spot on, as usual.
Harlem was one of many ghettos across the country that have still not recovered from the riots of the 1960s. In later years, a niece of mine, who had grown up in the same Harlem tenement where I grew up years earlier, bitterly complained about how few stores and other businesses there were in the neighborhood.
There were plenty of stores in that same neighborhood when I was growing up, as well as a dentist, a pharmacist and an optician, all less than a block away. But that was before the neighborhood was swept by riots.
Who benefits from the Ferguson riots? The biggest beneficiaries are politicians and racial demagogues.
This is an important message... it's the truth... These are the ideas that must be gotten out to the people.
Ping.
The wisdom that comes from years of experience is so valuable. It's a shame young people don't want to listen to it.
“These are the ideas that must be gotten out to the people.”
Leftism makes each leftard his own jailer. You can try to expose them to ideas, but they play each idea like a talented matador, allowing it to pass by with a thundering of hooves and absolutely no effect whatsoever.
I am starting to see this phrase more and more and it really burns me bullying. What Brown was caught doing on tape is assaulting not bullying!But, after a video was leaked, showing him bullying the owner of a store...
Assaulting is so abstract-sounding.But bullying - now that is beyond the politically correct pale! It makes the Gentle Giant sound mean!
It's even worse. Assault is an act that creates aprehension of an imminent harmful attack. Battery is the harmful or offensive touching of another. The video clearly shows an offensive touching of the clerk. So Brown was guilty of assault & battery.
Who benefits from the Ferguson riots? The biggest beneficiaries are politicians and racial demagogues.
This is an important message... it’s the truth...
WHITE racial demagogues benefit... black racial demagogues do not..
Blacks already know the black demagogues are corrupt BUT DON’T CARE.. and will despise the white ones no matter what they do.. BUT WILL vote for them.. if no black is running..
American BLACK CULTURE is totally corrupt from head to tail..
Even IF it looks beneficial... IT IS NOT...
If it’s BLACK culture based...... it’s nasty..
If it comes on your TV and it’s black, turn the channel..
ELSE; your supporting it... to some extent..
PROOF; Cosby...
You're right. If black rage didn't prop up white liberal elites they wouldn't be able to be elected dog catcher... They DO benefit the most...
