Do I See A Pattern Forming Here?

That's not the half of it either.

Now why doesn't this surprise me?

Thye Democrats have spent decades telling black Americans that they're victims, solely to gain their votes.

What good has it done them?

None; in fact it's done the opposite & further limited their progress.

Today's society doesn't owe today's minorities anything for what happened 50 or more years ago - they've HAD $billions invested in them over & above Caucasians.
They've HAD "affirmative action" (racism against whites in all but name).
Unless & until they shed the "victim" mentality, get off ther butts & look to improver their OWN lot themselves, then they will never get anywhere.
Call me racist for that & I wont care because it's the truth.

Bushmaster

Well Damn!! Guess I'm a racist too then.

Elvis

Im color blind have been for years.
we here in Kiwiland know about reverse racism
bout time your lot swallowed some cement
shat out a brick
built themselves a bridge
and got over it.

Change is brought about through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is. Create a problem and then step in with a solution. Federal Police! It's what Obama has wanted all along and regardless of how many have to die, this is his path to getting it.

+1 Bushy and Elvis
+/- Blue, I agree witht he first part of your position but as for federal police ... you can't swinga a dead cat and not hit a federal cop in the US. DOJ has the FBI BATF FBOP DEA USMS Homeland security has USCG TSA ICE CBP Air Marshalls not to mention USFS, USFG IRS USPS etc. They either enforce all or some of the federal legislation and in some cases state laws also when the are delegated.

I believe he means to supplant our local police and sheriffs with federal police. In the recent past when unconstitutional gun grabs were threatened many sheriffs and local police chiefs stood fast and said outright they would not enforce violations of our second amendment rights from the President or the Justice Dept. He wants loyalty to the federal government and himself to replace loyalty to the constitution and the people.

We have a CULTURE problem, not a COLOR problem.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Ch. V: The Intellectuals and the Boston Mob (pg. 118)

"I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.
My experience is that people who call themselves "The Intellectuals" understand theories, but they do not understand things. I have long been convinced that, if these men could have gone into the South and taken up and become interested in some practical work which would have brought them in touch with people and things, the whole world would have looked very different to them. Bad as conditions might have seemed at first, when they saw that actual progress was being made, they would have taken a more hopeful view of the situation." Ch. V: The Intellectuals and the Boston Mob

There's a third kind of black American too: They go to school, then college, work hard & prosper & bring up their kids to do exactly the same thing.
Unfortunately the likes of Sharpton & his race baiting pals don't want other blacks to follow their example, because if they did, Sharpton & his ilk would lose their gravy train.

Indeed! The same pattern also exists in Detroit which has been ruled by Democrats for sixty years. All the best...

Dr. Ben Carson is a great example of that. Raised from the age of 8 by a single mother in the Detroit ghetto to become the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at John's Hopkins, author of 6 bestselling books , sat on the boards of Kellogg, Costco and the Academy of Achievement and now running for President. This man is a role model for young blacks if anyone ever was.

The "Black Culture" has evolved to a point where they can no longer distinquish between discrimination, personal failure, or it just wasn't their day when something bad has happened. Its time for Black Leaders in America to "man-up" and teach and preach personal accountability including demonstration by personal example. It needs to start at the top.

The current administration has not reduce racial tensions they have increased it and "fanned the flames". It's gotten so bad, I am reluctant to even ask a black person what they think anymore. I feel sorry for the hard work Blacks in America that have worked hard and achieved personal succeess.
