Let's have the conversation about race

No, lets have a conversation about character and the values that Americans are expected to hold and support. This like personal responsibility, respecting the law, not stealing, or murdering, or robbing, or raping or attacking others.

. . . or using tax revenue to buy votes while promoting the destruction of personal responsibility.

Lets start with that conversation before we move on to other things like working for a living, supporting your family, getting an education to better yourself, protecting others and setting an example for your friends and family.

After that, we can move on to forget about things that really don’t matter like the color of a person’s skin.

. . . and we can best forget about things that don’t matter by actually enforcing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - which was written to be color blind on its face, but (precisely as its opponents predicted, and as Hubert Humphrey said he would “eat my hat” if it eventuated) was from its inception enforced without the blindfold on Justice.

All it would take - and SCOTUS had the opportunity in hand with a Connecticut firefighter’s case early in Obama’s tenure, and dropped the ball - would be for SCOTUS to stipulate that there can be no discriminatition against anyone on the basis that they don’t look like sons of the POTUS. And no favoritism on the basis that some people do.

>>It is getting to the point where words no longer have any meaning.

Worse than that, it has already gotten to the point where actions have no meaning. Zero and CupHolder get to decide (based on skin color) what a person was thinking, and condemn or pardon him on that basis.

A wise person had this to say on a previous post regarding the negro: “Never has a race of people done so little with so much opportunity afforded to them in the history of this Country”

“...Blood is red and money is green, those are the only colors of any importance...”

True... IF you are a thinking, logical, rational person.

However...Try maintaining that thought as you walk through North Philly, Camden, Newark, Detroit, Cleveland, etc.

I can guarantee you the denizens of those areas - and a thousand other places just like them in our cities - don’t feel the same way about it, brother.

It’s a reality that we live with, and must recognize to stay alive. When an 88 year old WWII vet is murdered because he’s white by feral thugs; when a 99 year old great grandmother is beaten and murdered by feral thugs because she’s white; when a 20-something year old Australian baseball star is murdered by feral thugs because he’s white, I’d say that race suddenly matters a whole hell of a lot.

That change will never come until government stops rewarding out of wedlock births to teen moms. Manhood’s been eliminated in the black community and replaced with a caricature, a devil’s shadow of real, godly manhood.

The family is the fundamental unit of society and it has been under attack forever. Keep yours strong and expect the same of others. Adultery, pornography, divorce are all evidences of crippled manhood.

I think a nationwide Amber Alert needs to go out for Impy...he’s been kidnapped and an imposter (or pod person) is posting under his handle.

First Moldy Cyprus, now this? Impy, what happened to you? I’ll let Deniro and Jackson explain:

“...Blood is red and money is green, those are the only colors of any importance...”

Again, yes, but when you’re dealing with feral animals, not so much. Being color blind these days is like jumping out of an airplane with an empty parachute.

Sorry, this Ted Cruz birther gave me some crack, I must have smoked too much.

Still want that little hoebag Miley though. Nothing much I can do, my brain chemistry may have been permanently altered by that rock. Let this be a lesson for all of us.

Now that’s the old Impy! Welcome back!

:)

[Impy]

Speaking of Amber Alerts I once got one on my phone, the damn thing downloaded the software without my permission at the behest of the government.

[GOPsterinMA]

That’s f**ked up.

RE Impy:

I was worried about him... he seems OK now, though.... (psst - but keep an eye on him)

:^)

[NFHale]

I did too. Also “Severe Weather Alert” messages.

I don’t need the gov to tell me its raining.

[fieldmarshaldj]

That’s not rain.

[NFHale]

“..not rain...”

Yeah... it’s yellow...
