“The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.” Aristotle
At first glance, that statement might seem racist. But viewed as a comment on a vast ocean of individuals, it makes perfect sense. Individuals are endowed with innumerable degrees of talents and capabilities. Some individuals have few abilities or talents at all.
When a politician proposes the idea of promoting equality for all, they are proposing a utopian goal that can NEVER be accomplished. They will propose laws and spend ship loads of money in their vain “attempt” to achieve equality, but they never succeed in accomplishing their utopian goal, only spending the wealth of the nation and erecting volumes of law and regulations that enables them to control your every move.
Make no mistake, Buttigieg’s utopian proposal for equality is vintage Marxism. He has shown himself to be an evil idealogue. We would forever “need” him in power to accomplish his “lofty and innocent” goals.
We are not that stupid, Alfred E. B’g.
I now live in the South.
There is no Racial Inequality here.
Prove me wrong.
Racial disparity is a problem only if it arises for the wrong reasons. Whites benefiting because they have better parents is not a wrong reason. Nor is blacks suffering when they become their own worst enemies (crime, illegitimate kids, undisciplined spending, won’t study in school, unhealthy eating, etc.). Racism can be a problem, but the modern USA, with its black racial preferences, abandoned the old South long ago.
Since when has it become the purpose of government to micromanage how we relate to each other?
I don’t need or want such a service.
Perhaps the problem is in the statement it’s self
Racial inequality.
Perhaps those two words should be analyzed to sort out the truth therein
“broad plan”
Paging Larry Craig...Larry Craig, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Mayor, “Pajama Boy’, Democrat, Dreg, Pete, Buttigieg should concentrate on the out-of-control crime running unchecked in his “Shiny Gay City” then worrying about his financial bribes of failure...period!!! What a butt head from head to toe!!! He and that lesbian witch hater, Megan Ripenoe ought to get together and and dance with the “SATAN DEVIL”, wolves of the Gay community...idiots and America haters that they all are!!! Case closed!!! Democrats, Disgusting...two words that go well together!!!
Panderin’ Pete.
“His “Douglass Plan” aims to”:
1.”establish a $10 billion fund for black entrepreneurs over five years”
On what basis does he claim that deserving “black” entrepreneurs are unable to get the loans and capital investment they need? None. And what are “black” entrepreneurs have have started their business ventures without such federal assistance supposed to think? They will rightly think some other “black” person will get a federal subsidy they never got and did not need - meaning some other “black” person is getting a federal boost OVER those “blacks” who never needed it.
2.”invest $25 billion in historically black colleges”
A. That amount is more than twice the total federal direct assistance and loans to students of all “races” for college. B. And what does that have to do with the MAJORITY of “black” college students who do NOT attend the historically black colleges? Zip, zilch, nada.
3.”legalize marijuana, expunge past drug convictions, reduce the prison population by half and pass a new Voting Rights Act to further empower the federal government to ensure voting access.”
None of which directly attack the issues the lead to “black” inequality, beginning with the destruction of the “black” two parent family culture and family culture altogether. Where that culture is sound for “blacks” they do not fall down in achieving the goals they are capable of.
I’ve heard this sort of talk before, how we need a “Marshall Plan for the cities”.
What’s old is new again.
Though this is new for someone like Mayor Pete, who was born in 1982.
Another white boi racial asskisser
Who wouldnt dare live in a black neighborhood
Do South Bend first and we’ll check back in 10 years to see what’s left
So Mayor Butthead let South Bend go to Hell for the last 8 years and now he comes up with ideas on how to solve the race problem? Too late Butthead - the middle class families ran out of South Bend as fast as they could load the moving van.
Gimme a break.
Equal before the law - we fought for and WON. Equal Opportunity we fought for and WON. Republicans pushed through historic civil rights legislation in the ‘60's - and fought racist democrats all the way. (look up the vote numbers- the truth is out there)
But NO, racism today is NOT the top issue.
It's a horse to ride for democrats to gin up the black vote... and it's divisive. Democrats made promises to the black community for the last 40 years - and they have NOT come through...that's what democrats need to look at - NOT at buying the black vote with lies.
How to counter racial inequality. Invent a magic potion that, when drunk, will raise peoples’ IQ 30-40 points. Invent a pill that, when taken, will stop people from fathering children outside of marriage. Create a magic app that will translate from ebonics to English.
Eh?
