Should space exploration be halted?
Why, because there are poor black people? There are poor white people, poor brown people, poor native Americans, poor Asians, etc.
Not every whitey is a billionaire.
I say more power to them if they can afford the price tag to go to space.
Stop whining and blaming you situation on the color of your skin.

Wow…never thought about what it must have felt like for some back then when this occurred.

Or maybe he should tell lefties that their dear leader really didn't fix America, and maybe even left it in worse shape than ever.


He can't complain to Trump about these problems. African Americans enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate and fastest wage growth in US history with Trump in the white house. Now a democrat is in charge. How is he doing? Is he improving the standard of living for the African American community? If not, maybe this gentlemen should take his complaints up with Biden.


Leftist Jeff Bezos earned his money and it's his to do with as he chooses. Just like how Jay-Z is a billionaire and can do with his money as he pleases, since he earned it. See how that works? It really doesn't matter what your skin color is. It does matter what you do with your time and talents. That will be the ultimate determining factor in whether or not you will build considerable wealth. Wallowing in your own self loathing and misery has never been a very profitable venture, although I wish this gentlemen lots of luck. I'm sure he could start a go fund me account and receive lots of donations, now that he has his 15 minutes of fame.
Reading is fundamental.

Not his fault you didn’t read enough know that this was written in 1970 or that your people couldn’t have gotten to the moon without his people.

It was those his people with BETTER math skills than your people (despite many hurdles) that landed your people on the moon in the first place. Read a book.

And yet many black women helped to achieve that goal because they were smarter than the engineers working on the program.

Yep.

And that's the point of art. To make you think, and maybe see things from someone else's perspective.

Hits the mark.
