There was a rally down in Georgia with around 100 Nazis a few weeks ago. In listening to the left, they made it sound like another Nuremburg rally.

That’s generous! Black males age 15-35 are only 3% or so. All that crime belongs to them alone.

...or never get married and just work steadily and live within/below their means things will work out, financially anyway.

Interesting observation on the regional difference. I don’t know one way or the other.

But I know turnout is the key.

Doesn’t seem that blacks have much enthusiasm for 2018 midterms. For Democrat victory in 2020 it is necessary (but not sufficient) to get them out to vote. That’ll take a black candidate IMO.

Judging by the young ones I saw vaulting the subway turnstiles in NYC on Monday evening, I'd guess they were looking for a free ride.

Nazis and Klansmen (some of each of those ‘groups’ being undercover FBI agents acting as provocateurs) AND Communists AND black nationalists ALL marching ‘proudly’.

... vaulting the subway turnstiles in NYC ...

Didn't some DA say he wasn't going to prosecute jumpers any more?

Illegal Mexicans don’t qualify for Medicaid. They have the highest rate of no health insurance. And these Mexicans have the lowest rate of infant and maternal mortality ... better than whites, whose rate is better than Asians whose rate is better than Blacks, whose rate is better than Native Americans.

But Blacks on Medicaid have by far the highest infant and maternal mortality rate.

So the solution? Achieve equality by expanding Medicaid to all Blacks and Hispanics and eventually to everyone in the US.

Translaves - born free, self-identifying as slaves.

Black voters want the same things other Americans want.

All has been available for a long time, but one has to learn and to work to fulfill those wants.

An infant-mortality crisis is tightening its grip on the most marginalized communities, and across many economic metrics—from evictions, to generational wealth, to segregation—disparities are either stagnating or trending in the wrong direction.

This has nothing to do with race. There are wide swaths of WHITE America dealing with the same thing. Donald Trump is president today because his message resonated with a lot of them.

According to NYTimes, there were about 2 dozen “Nazis” at the Georgia rally.

The problem with many black Americans is that they are black first and American second.

Blacks routinely underperform in midterms, the reason being that most of them live in safe districts where the black congressman is in for life. No real reason to get excited. Now the presidential year, that’s another matter.

He may be getting worried that white people are starting not to care about what race hustlers say.
