Not a real post? If this is real, then you are the most cliche 'benevolent' white racist I have experienced. Why, I EVEN PLAYED with some blacks when I was young, and then EMPLOYED them when I grew up. You are truly a fine person, indeed, to help out these so less-as-good-as-you black folk.

Idiocy is its own punishment I suppose, but unfortunately government schools have provided, and the welfare class has contributed, enough of these fools nowadays to know at least which side of the teat to suck upon, and how to vote, but nothing else.

Stop the who did what blame game and look at the situation for exactly what it is. Go back to the months after JFK was assasinated, to the day LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. In speaking with fellow Democrats it is purported that LBJ said "Gentlemen, I have insured the vote of the American Negro for the next hundred years". Now whether he really said this is up for debate. The point is that the Johnson Administration set about to create their legacy in the Great Society (aka Utopia). From that legacy the majority of social programs, many that go on even today, came from the Johnson's Great Society debacle. Social engineering, enhanced welfare programs, free or subsidized housing and more. The bulk of those programs were and still are aimed directly at America's black race. The Democratic party is responsible for the continuing downfall of America's blacks, how is this?? Well here it is uncensored: The Democrats used taxpayer monies, Social Security contributions and anything else they can lay the grimy hands on as a handout to the Blacks of America. Have a baby, get a check...need a place to live no problem...sick need medical care no problem and it just goes on and on and on. Not once in my lifetime have ever seen a true hand-up from the government and as long as the Democrats are in control of everything from the Unions to the Whitehouse this plague upon Black America will continue. So wise up. Get an education and go forward. If you don't you can bet you're either going to be an inmate or probably dead before you're 30. The choice Black America is your to make. Enough already!

I think kids should be allowed to drop out/put out of school if disruptive. Then put straight into boot camp until they have a skill and can support themselves. Girls should be NORPLANTED as well. These are called consequences for choices made. An EIGHT year old FIRST grader.

Our sitting President just sought additional funding for the Clinton success, Americorps Program. It will save all...attain a GED, get indoctrinated into Socialism and become a successful community organizer and work for ACORN. Now, I ask, how good is that?
