Dumb people sit in their self-made crap-nest and blame everyone else.

If you have skills but live in a place without job opportunities for those skills, move to a better location...or sit on your butt and complain and point fingers thinking some miracle will happen and a job will appear. It won't and you are getting older every day.

If you can't find work because you didn't value education and take proper advantage of school, that was your choice. You can seek out ways to gain an education and job skills...or sit on your butt and complain and point fingers and look for handouts.

There is no level playing field in life and some folks are higher and some are lower. Some are there because of their life choices...good or bad. Some are there simply because of an accident of birth. The playing field is growing steeper and the high ground is a little more scarce thanks to income inequality and the failure of trickle-down thinking. Life choices are more important now than ever before for everyone, not just minorities.
Well said.

Truth be told, racists need to get over their prejudices, bigotry and hate so we can all move forward... White supremacy is getting old..
If we become a poor, 3rd world nation it won't mean much anymore.

Bitching about something that only exists in .0002% of the population is getting old.

Racism is not "America's original sin". Truth be told, people need to get over it instead of pointing fingers at everyone else for their failures. Approximately 73% of the black population is middle class or above. There's no "white man" keeping anyone down. The only people keeping people down is themselves.

Stop projecting who you are on to other people.

I know, right

Just look at all that White Supremecy and Whiteness that drove hundreds and thousands of miles to Houstan to help hurricaine victims with their White Priveldge cars. Trucks, boats etc. All on their own White Priveledge money. Leave their White Privilege families, homes, and jobs.

How dare they show their White Supremecy in Houston

I'm fairly confident that there's a larger percentage than .0002% that are racist here in America. Out of a population of 326 million people that would equate to approximately 65 thousand racists in the entire country. Laughable... There are probably more than 65 thousand racists in a state like Texas alone.

There's a group of people that would say anything to prevent a light from being shined on white supremacy. And we all know why...

Yes it would. The only people that don't have a problem with racism are racists...

Not worried about Russian military superiority or them being superior in any technology. Being in the Defense Industry for the last 17 years, I dont see any Russian programs that come close to anything we have. We have a lot of stupid people in this country, but we also have some very bright people too.
