What Christopher doesn’t understand is that no amount of money will satisfy those blacks who demand it.

Oh I think Christopher and the clown who posted this crap understand that perfectly!

You can’t give a public based on race.

But why turn that into a racist handout to everyone?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A racist handout of a single dime to ANYONE is sheer lunacy, and anyone who suggests it should have their bank accounts closed and the entire balance of their accounts donated to the care of combat veterans!

So, the answer is just giving every black person alive $10 million bucks and all is well with the earth??? Is that it? 95% of blacks would still be in Africia if they had not come here on DUTCH, FRENCH, SPANISH and ENGLISH ships!! I don’t recall Bob Smith and Thomas Jones of Virginia going over there and bringing any of them here. Let them sue the countries that brought them here. Maybe their MUZZIE brothers who kidnapped and sold them into slavery would help. Naw, wouldn’t happen.

That is why there is a wealth and health gap. Racism has nothing whatsoever to do with it. If is solely major, destructive, life choices people in those groups choose.

BINGO! You’ve described the whole situation PERFECTLY!

All I know is if this gets crammed down my throat I’m going to look to make lemonade from the situation.

Run out and buy new Escalades fully loaded from the Burbs, trailer them to the inner city.

Wait until the dealers sell out the first day the checks clear.

Shine them up better than showroom then sit them on a lot and ask for offers, with the title in hand.

If you miss the first round of sales then the drug dealers will be round two for you the week after.

Yep. It’s those racists who keep making obese women shovel all those Twinkies and tater chips down their gullets. And if we racists didn’t supply all their free weed and crack, people would be a lot healthier.

Maybe the ancestors of people that died fighting to free the ancestors of slaves should demand their share of the reparations.

Before reparations are paid, it would be advisable to examine the reason the ancestors were enslaved.

Those reasons are still in effect today by those whining for reparations.

Good thing no one reads the LA Times any longer.

I walk my dogs in the morning around several blocks, different each morning - and I don’t see a single LA Times on anyone’s driveway, as I did not so long ago.

You can only continue to feature so many illegal alien sob stories and “White People Bad” hit pieces before your base of readers flee:

“Los Angeles Times claims that white people driving is bad for the environment.”

Why on earth would I pay so much as a single cent to be bombarded with that kind of “news” on a daily basis? Looks like my neighbors all feel the same.

It sorta was stupid for people to refuse to let them eat at a lunch booth or sit where the hell they wanted or drink from any water fountain. What were you people in the 1960’s thinking? I mean that is really stupid to play that game and now those of us not born then are living with those actions.

Hey, you’re really good at the tactic of changing the subject when you have nothing intelligent to say about the focus of discussion. Did you learn that tactic in the hood, at your communist indoctrination class, or at your remedial learning center?

A lot of black folk in our area are the nicest people. There are a few that have a huge chip on their shoulders. But I think that is being taught to them by their elders and by the example of some of their peers.

Those three institutions (Institute for Policy Research, National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences) need to be closed down immediately.

They have been taken over by woke zombies and have become the enemies of civilization.

It’s all about the racism which is the topic. Perhaps your reading comprehension is poor. Love the fact I hit a nerve and your guilt is eating at you. You most likely were the worst. Probably called the cops at the restaurant because you’d get a black persons breath on you. God forbid. You’d despise that. Weird how you make sure your KKK annual fee is always paid in full.

This is the reflexive position of the average white savior.

Inherent in their conclusions are firmly-held presumptions that minorities are inferior to them and require lifelong guidance and supervision, never able to function as independent individuals with free will.
