Quote:What kind of bigot are you?

 

Black people are still suffering the kind of open air prison treatment in their own nation that the Japanese suffered for a few years.

 

You want to talk about confiscation of property? How about 12 trillion dollars worth in the war on drugs? Almost 2 trillion in 2010 alone. <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/forfeiture'>http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/forfeiture</a>

 

This right-wing war on drugs started by Nixon to keep black men down needs to end, it's the worst social offense by the government against this people since slavery itself.

The war on drugs was started to keep black men down?

That conspiracy theory makes Jesse Ventura sound like Hawkings.

As unpopular as this may be, IMO....again, my opinion.. Yes the Japanese were dealt with harshly. Their homeland, along with Germany was destroyed.

With our help, they've pulled themselves up and are world leaders in many areas.

Our govt also gave blacks,who yes, were mistreated themselves, plenty of opportunities and still does. In fact, so many opportunities that have upset others by what they deem reverse discrimination. Sure, some have taken advantage of it. Many haven't and still use the white man holding me down crutch.

I have witnessed this in society and workplace. I mentor. Worked in management. Labor relations and labor unions.

When I read or hear the excuses, like drug wars pulling down the black man, it tells me the more things change, the more they stay the same. Excuses. Lame ones at that.

There are still issues. Always will be. But opportunity is there. Is it easy? No. It's easier to make excuses.

Flame away.
