Latest:
“@ms_tjp: On the phone with an STL organizer. Apparently, Jesse Jackson requested money on his own, church did not #Ferguson “ Agent .

Looking like story is fairly well corroborated.
Still waiting for a standard media mention.

Why isn’t this extortionist in prison?

And why do people still refer to him as reverend? I can see the title of So Called Reverend as being proper but not reverend in his case.

People in black neighborhoods have got to learn to deal with their own before decent neighbors refuse to move in and businesses leave. I've seen so much of people going to the police to "do something" after years of looking the other way when crimes are committed because snitches are held in lower regard than are thugs.

Lyndon Baines Johnson for the sake of a short term legacy pushed through Acts against the family which with each passing generation is destroying families and communities at an ever increasing rate. Johnson pushed "Rights" and failed to mention responsibility that goes with them for an orderly society.

It's created a much larger poverty class for both black and white, it has created far more kids without stable living at home married to each other parents for both black and white, it has created the notion government will raise the kids and provide for their education and now their morality as well for both black and white.

The voices of reason and accountability like Alan Keyes, Niger Innus, & Jesse Lee Peterson are purposely ignored for the most part. They have answers. Those answers require personal efforts and even personal sacrifices. Their answers apply both to black and white.

We see an unprecedented lack of leadership in the White House and as well in both houses which should be condemning the looting and being a role model. I can't imagine for example if Alan Keyes were in the Oval Office of him sitting back and not saying nothing. I can not imagine him had he won the Illinois US Senate seat remaining silent right now if her were a senator.

The Great Society the dream of LBJ has become a national nightmare destroying lives upon lives. It replaced personal responsibility and standards of acceptable standards of conduct in all communities black and white.

It gets worse when so called preachers for their own fiscal pleasure and for power are pimping the flock into poverty and the dependency. A lifestyle which enslaves the flock to the worst master possible that being the government of the United States of America.

I don't think being poor was ever as such looked down upon in the US as long as a person made honest effort for themselves and family. But being poor trash or rich trash was at least in my youth highly looked down upon. Trash was trash with no apologies. TRASH LOOTS!!! Trash destroys property of others in feral mentality acts.

Both my parent grew up poor and during The Great Depression one in the city the other on farm. My grandparents held their family to an expected level of personal conduct and accountability. As a result my parents and my aunts and uncles had a better life than their parents.

>>“My wife and I took an AIDS vaccine that they offer down at our Church.”

>>Is that the one where you prevent AIDS by keeping your zipper up?

That’s one effective vaccine, though ours is in the form of a marriage license, and a solemn vow to God to be with no other.

Worked for me, through the Grace of God.
