He speaks the truth. We don’t understand why they continue to choose BEHAVIORS that cause them most of their troubles.

“... you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination”
Meanwhile half of the federal employees are affirmative action hires. Do not talk to me about discrimination.
Most black people can barely read and write, let alone even speak proper English. There is a reason why they cannot find suitable employment.
They blame whitey for all their problems while doing nothing to educate themselves.

regarding your comment “the world is what you make it”:
The same boiling water that makes a potato soft will make an egg hard. And that same water, when exposed to coffee, will be changed.
The world is the boiling water. We all need to decide if we’re going to be the potato, the egg or the coffee.

To: McGruff
it’s his SOP.
he couldn’t even kill PBS when we had control of the house and senate.
compare that to what Pelosi was able to ram through.
i think Newt is overrated. his hissy fit about being forced to sit at the back of Airforce One told me everything i needed to know about him... he wasn’t a principled conservative. he talked a good game, but at the end of the day, he cared more about his own power (and perception thereof).
somebody should really dig up his financial records since he left congress. it would be interesting to see just how much money he’s made from lobbyists while out of the spotlight. i suspect it’s been a lot.

Unless you are black, married and have a full time job or business. Then you don’t have time to be out on the streets after dark protesting, looking for and finding trouble.

Anyone with a Twitter account needs to post to Trump saying to NOT pick Newt for Veep!!!
His handle is @realDonaldTrump
To: Cecily
I reacted the same way,but then I said,Trump is going to get buried by this Black lives matter crap,so just like the democrats give the blacks what they want to hear,the Democrats promise all kinds of freebies,so throw the bs to deflect the criticism. The democrats do it and the dopes vote for them to the tune of over 90 percent. Over and over and their plight gets worse,so why fight it

Sorry, Newt is spot on! Our white daughter is dating a young man whose parents are from Nicaragua. He is obviously mixed race, and has enough non-white features to be “racially profiled.” He is college-educated and has a senior technical position with a well-known Silicon Valley company. Our daughter tells us that recently while shopping they, with their prior purchases wen into another store. He asked her to carry their all purchases, because he was concerned that he might be subjected to a search of their bags owing to his physical appearance. That is what people of color have to deal with every day, and I realize that they have to “own” what others of their race have done to foster the fear and resentment, but none of it is right. I don't condone what was done in Dallas last night, but I have real reservations about what happened in Minneapolis and Baton Rouge too. We must support our police, but they too have an obligation to act responsibly, and many of them don't. I have had first-hand experience with their abusive behavior and I am old and white. The environment today cannot be justification for being “trigger happy!” They have a right to go home at night, but that does not give them license to shoot people indiscriminately.

you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.
That is until you go as a single person and live in
the black community then you will see discrimination
and risk directed at you.
There are racists and bigots of every color and in
every community.
