As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does". We love the "Mayor for Life" the way America loves the Kardashians, he's just another recurring train wreck.
It will be what it will be. Until we raise leaders instead of rap stars and athletes we will be left behind and you are right that other people in the mentioned races will take full advantage of our weakness. Hispanics in my area tend to be divided though. Some hang with White people some hang with black people and some just a mixed group. Also I have done business with some Hispanic people and we got along fine. Dont know many Asians but lots of Indian/Pakastani people own stores here. They seem to own more than even the White people. Its not the who but the what that matters. If you have leaders who have good hearts and minds then all will be well. If you have leaders that see one group as something to be used and abused then its another story.
Good stuff to dispel the us and them.
The first two people I influenced in getting a job in my life was black and the other was Jewish(and some people might know what I think about Israel which has nothing to do with it). After that it was a Romanian and an old guy(forgot to discriminate there too) . I am not really in personal but in that case I handed in the resumes and pushed for them for hire. Not sure what the hell is wrong with everyone else. My Russian co-worker chided me for not making sure it was a hot girl on one of them... I see his point but....
When I had my own business one was a very busy Mexican shop that was lower rider heaven. The owner would have scared the crap out of most of my current neighbors. I would waste too much time talking to him. My best sparing partner in chess was a black guy name KC. Wish he was still around because he had great end game skill.
Some might wonder why I don't have any interracial friends now. I am a man with a family and a job. I don't think I have any friends anymore..

Actually it was "Momma" who said that.. Forrest was simply quoting her.
Marion Barry = the prime example of why DC should never have been granted home rule. DC as the Federal District should be governed directly by the Federal government.

OMG no! Can you imagine how bad things would be here! Every new swing in power would turn DC into an extension of itself and things would shake up every four years or so. Certainly not a good place for living or doing business.
My hope is that the city surrounding the government buildings be granted statehood and the federal district in it's core be governed directly by the Feds. That way nobody's house (except the President's) is effected by their wild political whims.
I could understand why blacks hate Asians . They basically call them out on their excuse making by suceeding and prospering ..many times in the same neighborhoods where success was said to be "impossible". As an Asian I could 1. Be offended by what Barry has said 2. Realize that only weak minded idiots get offended easily by people they dont even know, especially when considering the source. i then move on with my life. I often wonder why blacks more readily accept option 1 then option 2!
You can only open so many liquor stores or pawn shops before a market is saturated. No legitmate profitable business will open without proper police protection.
there is a crying need for green grocery on the hood. korean people have provided this service. treating them nicer would result in more of them coming in. also i think they have a great deal to teach about how to run a business. if they can do it, how bout the AA community themselves doing it.
the people and esp the kids need it. have the koreans demanded billions to start up their biz on the hood? i dont think so. that would be another line of work separate from selling apples.

Well as usual you missed the point. However since you brought it up the Federal government has direct oversight control on DC so yes ultimately Obama is responsible for MB. Just so you know.
