Here’s a novel idea... instead of being lazy and demanding money for what happened in The past, how about folks pick th3msleves up by their bootstraps and go out and earn a living just like everyone else, and stop with the self pity?

Well said, but these are exactly the kind of people who will NOT lift a finger to do a damn thing if they can find some fool to do their bidding. AND, they also don’t give a damn if that fool is white, black, male, female, young, old, wealthy or poor! SUCKER is the only qualification!

Hey wait a minute. I thought multiculturalism was supposed to be such a wonderful characteristic of the communist utopia? I mean, can’t we all just get along?

As I get older, I am starting to believe that the Old Segregationists were right, and that we are better off staying away from black folks. Particularly until black folks get their poopy in one sock. Black Americans are, as a group, some sick puppies. It doesn’t have to be that way, but it is that way. Be honest, if you are white, don’t you already do what Scott Adams has just discovered, and not go places that are loaded up with blacks? Like, the State Fair, and shopping malls?

There were about 750,000 casualties in the Civil War. Payment has been made in full.

I don’t let fear of any person stop me on my travels. I’ve been in situations where I’m the only white dude and I’ve been in places where it was Lilly white. No difference.

Blacks got houses cheap in the 1960s and 1970s through government backed block busting.

But not as cheap as yours and mine will be when they finally force us out on the street!

Good luck to you then! Personally, I stay away from Dark Places. There are some neighborhoods that I avoid, some gas stations that I will not use, and some grocery stores that I will not patronize. My city is like 55% Black, and blacks here have killed whole malls by their very presence. IMHO, 3/4 of Black Americans suck big time, and I have no use for them.

It’s all about the racism which is the topic.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Of course, EVERYTHING’S about racism to your ilk! That’s why you want to rip off Whitey even though the only person who ever did anything to you was YOU. Why don’t you try to emulate a REAL black man like Ben Carson or Booker T. Washington?

Well you keep losing. Eventually you’ll smarten up. I hope. Unfortunately due to you, we all go down like in2018, 2020 and 2022.

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.

Yep, typical rodent (Democrat) mentality.

Yep, and everyday there is an increasing number of such places where no sane person, black or white, would risk going, not only here in America but all over Europe as well. Fact is, savages are slowly taking over the planet. Oh, and just to be clear, they ain’t all black either!

Tell me dear Prof, why there is such a difference between the county of let’s say Japan and Angola? How about why Native Americans had not invented the wheel while the rest of the world enjoyed the blessings of said invention?

Dear parents stop sending your kids to American Universities. They are breeding grounds of idiocy.

He looks like a swish. I think I’ll send him a bill for all the landscaping I did on his home. What? I didn’t do any landscaping on his property? That doesn’t matter. He’s a big “reparations” guy. The boy won’t mind sending me a check for the “I dindo nuffin!” work I didn’t do.

Yeah, well just how much money will I have to donate to “the restitution fund” before I’ve finally smartened up? Get out of here! Try South Africa!

[is that no amount of money will satisfy]

This is too easy for liberals to understand. And once they get the ball rolling, it will snowball. By the time they figure out that this is a terrible, terrible idea, there will no stopping it.

Now give me a check for 75 million dollars. Because...
