Marches for Racial Justice and Black Women Converge in Washington

WASHINGTON — On the first crisp fall day in Washington, thousands of anti-racism marchers proved that the capital’s summer of protests had not yet come to a close.

Two separate rallies — the March for Racial Justice and the March for Black Women — converged in Lincoln Park, a picnic-and-birthday-party plot nestled in the heart of the gentrified eastern part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. They marched in front of the Justice Department before descending on the National Mall to denounce institutionalized racism.

Wonder how many single moms will be marching.?? Girls get pregnant, want everyone to come and pay for their mistakes, and then call it RACISM because we don’t feel responsible for their errors.

Presumably by “racial justice” they mean an end to affirmative action, right?

:-)

Led by beating drums, protesters jabbed signs in the air

Very bad when the drums stop.

Bass solo.

A quick perusal of current American mass media would leave the uninformed with the impression that 60+% of our population is black.

The only thing these perpetually aggrieved whiners are accomplishing - on a daily basis - is pegging the 'I no longer give a damn' meters of thousands more hitherto sympathetic people.

Talking about race can be a difficult subject and words and perception can be misinterpreted especially online. However, we live in an age where plenty of black men are making millions of dollars for playing sports and are successful through other enterprises. But since some athletes and their actions regarding kneeling during the national anthem has become so prominent, perhaps they should be called out by these black women groups. If these women were married to affluent black professional athletes who chose to become strong father figures, raise their children with the mercy of God, benefit from the financial windfall, then the black culture would be strengthened better that at any point in history. I wonder how many of the kneelers would be willing to “sacrifice” in that capacity.

Marching against racial injustice in 2017 is very similar to matching against British Domination of the colonies. It’s over. Go home. Get a life.

Getting pregnant isn’t a mistake to them. It’s a life goal. Birth control is effective if used. They aren’t interested.

This whole NFL BS has caused me to thoroughly reconsider my views on race.

Television commercials are so PC that almost every commercial must (as if by law) have at least one black.

Hey Mr. Ad man, there are not enough blacks in America for every family to have a black friend.

I sometimes play PC BINGO while watching commercials (with the sound off)

Blacks
Interracial Couple
Asian
Lesbian (sometimes hard to spot unless they point it out)
Homosexuals (usually in the background. Extra points if they are holding hands)
Father doing the role of the mother.
Mother doing the role of the father.

These don’t count promos of other shows where the whole point is to shock (like one the other day having two men kissing a promo for a day time soap)

Sometimes propaganda works, sometimes it doesn’t.

How about some “racial justice” for the often harassed and subjugated Caucasians???

If institutional racism is the playing field that you believe you are on, then play on that field. Don’t whine about it.

We can all conjur up something to be angry about. But it seems to me that blacks are mad that their culture and traditions can not compete economically within the United States. Wefare did not help. Affirmitive action did not help. Children out of wedlock did not help. Murder in inner cities did not help. Rap culture did not help. Black Liberation Theology did not help. Obama did not help.

The only thing that will help is turn to God for guidance, work hard at whatever job you are capable of, get married, stay married, raise your kids to be good citizens with a work ethic reflected by your own actions, value education, be content with what you have and hope for a better future for your kids.

Hopefully someone was passing out free birth control. The black community’s 74% illegitimacy rate is killing all of us, both literally and figuratively.

Many things one could say about this but one of the most amazing things is how these people have not only enslaved themselves, but are begging to be enslaved even further.

Of course, they won’t realize that until it’s too late.
