I got completely turned off when, near the beginning, she asked, "Why is there such a disparity between poor blacks in this country, compared to the rest of the world?" (Probably not her EXACT words, but as best I remember it). Is she truly unaware that the very poorest Americans are doing much better than much of the world?

But I kept watching, in spite of my disgust. Then she said that people loot because they see other people with nice things, and they know looting is the only way they can have them, and also because they are food insecure and clothing insecure.

What a load of horse manure. I had to stop watching. Yeah, looters steal Gucci purses because they are clothing insecure. And apparently they are completely unable to work what we productive people call a JOB, and earn a PAYCHECK, and set goals for self-improvement and advancement, so that they can PURCHASE the nice things they want.

I can't remember the last time a video made me this angry.

Actually no, I said I grew up east of Michelle Obama - because east of South Shore is Lake Michigan.

When they measure schools on things like math and reading scores along with graduation rates etc. it's pretty much impossible for the regular CPS to "look good" because a large portion of the more able students with involved parents etc. are at private schools or attending the various magnate schools like Lane Tech.

My college roomate went to Quigley.

Complaining about people? Pfffft, that's easy.
and didnt you just complain about somebody?Was it easy, or are you not subject to the rules you wish others to follow?
