Just for fun, I suggest that we respond to the demand for reparations from our Negro brothers with a list of the extensive costs caused by the social pathologies of this failed tribe in our country: violent crime, illegitimacy, illiteracy, drug addiction, single parent households, and sheer inability to live in a civilized society (Teen Mall Mobs anyone?) Start with the lost futures of all of those children living in homes without fathers, and add to it the incarceration costs for the very high percentage of criminals among them, and also the expenses associated with the drug treatment programs for their addicted and drug dealing dregs. Then consider the value of the lives lost to the Negros murdered by other Negros in our country. And if we can come up with an actual estimate, what about the impact of the election of inferior incompetent race mongering self dealing grifting Negro politicians to government offices at all levels for the past 60 plus years. Considering all of this, it confounds me that this tribe pays very little attention to the prophets among them: Thomas Sowell, Robert Woodson, Carol Swain, Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder, Byron Donalds, Sage Steele, and the list goes on.
Let's develop and present this bill to those vermin black bastards in the Democrat Party just to see their eyes inflame and their heads swell with rage. Perhaps it will be cleansing experience for them.
It’s always 1963 to them & we’re always in Selma, AL. What’s telling is that the Congressional Black Caucus doesn’t allow black members if they are republicans. See? It’s always one set of rules for them that never apply to anyone else.
It's not entirely the black communities' fault; decades of Democrat-approved programs have incentivized ALL of the traits that contribute to the problems.
- Violent crime? Look at dropped/reduced charges, lenient sentencing, early release, etc.
- "Illegitimacy" and single-parent (read: single-mother) households? Check out the Democrat-pushed welfare programs and tax structures that provide so much more for single moms that having the father in the home is downright punished.*
- Drug addiction? See: "Violent crime."
- Teen Mall Mobs? "Broken windows" policing; letting small things slide, leading to the expectation that bigger things will also be let slide. (Also, see: "Violent crime.")
The biggest enemy of black communities is Democrats. But the D's talk a good game and promise to do the exact opposite of what they intend, so they keep getting elected.

* - I've lived this personally; a couple decades ago, when my family was just getting started, we weren't in a good financial place (who is in their 20s?), and a social worker *actively encouraged* my then-fiancee to kick me out of the home so that I would be "estranged" and she could qualify for more public benefits. Fortunately for myself and our kids, my then-fiancee was smarter than that. But in all seriousness, a single mom of two or three kids can live entirely on the public dole, but add the father back in and they lose it all -- both parents have to work and pay taxes, and pay out-of-pocket for child care on top of it. It's insane with all the perverse incentives.
I’ve talked about this for some time now. These clowns are seriously ill and there is no known cure. Those who follow them are worse. Sooner or later ( Probably Sooner) the call for violence against any conservative within sight will go out. And if they mean it or not, their bat crap minions do. I believe some thought my views were simply overblown diatribe. And yet here we are. One of their followers is actually running for office on arresting Zionist and putting them in concentration camps. It seems the more extreme you are, the more welcome you are to today’s Democrats. This should be troubling to anyone with common sense. Because once civil wars start they there’s usually no turning back. We’ve finally reached the point where any notion of common sense or civility in the democratic party has left the building!
The only way to get rid of racism is to stop being racist. I've heard that thousands of times. It doesn't work if both sides of the equation don't stop being racist. To say that black people were the target of racism is true, but not complete. Early in the last century, Irish, Italian, German, and other immigrants were treated as second class citizens. They were the targets of prejudice and racism. Today you cannot make a disparaging remark about any non-white, that's racism. Remarks about white people are not racist though. Think about that. Because whites are a majority it is not racism to disparage us. We've allowed the race baiters to define what is or isn't racism, and with that, we've allowed an extra-constitutional decision to determine what is a crime and what is not. I repeat, the only way to get rid of racism is to stop being racist. That's everyone.
Michael - - You are spot on….
If it wasn’t for double standards, the DemonicRats would have no standards at all ! !

And they would write that off as another example of racism.

I’d have to agree with one minor disagreement. The biggest enemy of black communities……are other blacks.
Let's say both are true. The biggest and most dangerous enemies of black communities, therefore, are black Democrats.

When I read this I thought of that old Loretta Lynn song. Honey you ain't woman enough to take my man.
