Had Black Americans been left to their devices, had they been allowed the same advantages as White Americans, Black Americans would have had access to the property, government programs, and jobs that their White counterparts. In places and times where Black people have been allowed access to these things, Black Americans have prospered in accordance to their hard work and abilities; the same as anyone else. While the overtly oppressive systems, and the lack of access to beneficial systems, no longer directly apply in the 21st century, the subtle shadows of these overt policies persist. Kaepernick doesn’t owe any success or fortune he has to anyone or anything besides God and himself; he worked hard to develop his talent and earned what he earned.JAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350835006191353765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-35980902679443771352021-01-30T05:09:48.941-05:002021-01-30T05:09:48.941-05:00And please do not stop addressing the negative imp...And please do not stop addressing the negative impact media, and 'race hustler's' are having on society. <br /><br />I am an avid radio listener, and many years ago I noticed the subject of 'race', being discussed more, amd more. It started to feel like I was being indoctrinated, so I stopped listening to those programs.

Even the London New Years fireworks show blasts a big huge image of a hotdog, you don't think you would get sick of the subject of hotdogs?Anonymous2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06513857915532856156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-5451006675763840302016-09-04T18:54:16.288-04:002016-09-04T18:54:16.288-04:00Boy, all this silly nonsense the corporate media k...Boy, all this silly nonsense the corporate media keeps spitting outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-18598241660575870222016-09-03T09:27:55.186-04:002016-09-03T09:27:55.186-04:00I read the whole article and others by Coates on r...I read the whole article and others by Coates on reparations and Bernie Sanders too. Bernie was right. It's divisive as illustrated by recently leaked DNCC memo from Nancy Pelosi's computer on BLM. See here:<br />http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/1/black-lives-matter-rips-democrats-leaked-memo-how-/<br /><br />Dems have to tread carefully. They disavow the memo, but after Hillary's endless email scandals and voluminous lies about same, I believe Guccifer and not Pelosi or any other Dems. The above article claims reparations made it into the Dem platform too.<br /><br />George Soros is steering the whole thing, but he's not doing it from behind the scenes anymore as his memos are being leaked as well.<br /><br />The Democrat-controlled Mainstream Media may blank all this out, but many of us know about it anyway. We won't shut up about it either.Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-41455725721335150692016-09-02T10:41:37.714-04:002016-09-02T10:41:37.714-04:00Coates piece persuasively (and seemingly effortles...Coates piece persuasively (and seemingly effortlessly) turns the issue of race in America into a pressing discussion about work, wealth, and theft rather than an unresolvable grudge-match about bygone guilt. (Please read it here!) Of course, it also has the words "reparations" and "slavery" in it, so you can assume that a lot of discussion about it will go like this:<br /><br />How to Read TNC's piece on reparations: <br /><br />1.

Completely inauthentic and a waste of my money.<br /><br />This was suggested at our church book club. I struggled to read it, it was littered with inaccuracies, no heart at all, I can't help feeling that someone from Murdoch's empire said, Tom (whoops, Jason) this whole Black Lives Matter thing is going too far - you're happy aren't you? And of course, all Uncle Tom's are, because whites pay them to be lapdogs.
