I see nothing wrong with encouraging blacks to get rid of their entitlement mentality. Not saying all or even most do, but many enough do that it is detrimental to the black community.
And I see nothing worng with black folks feeling entitled to anything from this country any less than anyone else. Especially if it includes respect on all levels. However, I disagree with the lazy opportunistic outlook manifested by undeachievers of all ethnicities. Not just black people. So whether you might end up working harder than the other person for what you want out of life nor not, I believe that you still should not give up, since you cant get out of it alive.

It's sad that this is where you get your self esteem...by looking down on minorities.

How do you interpret Backspace's post to be an indication that he/she "looks down on minorities"?

I don't vote for republicans because I'm a liberal atheist with some compassion for humanity. The stupid things republicans say are just a bonus for laughs and face palms.

I don't look down on minorities and your weak attempts at offending me are humorous. I look down on lazy people who lack personal responsibility and a solid work ethic.

Aside from repeatedly using words like welfare, food stamps, fatherless households in reference to Blacks, these comments

Conservatives like myself have plenty compassion for humanity too, we're just smarter than liberals who believe that money grows on trees and debt is a mythical creature like a Sasquatch.

Did he/she assert that ALL black people are on welfare or food stamps or that ALL black households are fatherless or that NO white people are on welfare or food stamps or that NO white households are fatherless?

I don't think so.
