Black billionaire and BET founder says blacks should leave the Democratic Party and..

[sid]

...found their own third party to achieve their goals. Robert Johnson supports the current riots and protests and says it is the greatest thing since the start of the Civil Rights movement. He also said that the most important thing was to close the wealth gap between whites and blacks and that should be done by giving the black people 14 TRILLION IN REPARATIONS.

What a great idea! I am sure that the vast majority of white Americans will only be too glad to get started with this. Of course, it should also be noted that Johnson did not offer to share any of his billions with the poor, suffering blacks.

Here is the story. Check it out:

You know, I've noticed that -- none of the rich socialists are willing to share THEIR wealth.

As the average black IQ rating is about 85% as opposed to the other races at 100% plus. It would seem that the best way to improve the black wealth gap would be to help raising that level by what ever programs and/or means would help do it and improving their changes for higher paying jobs. Not by reparations or freebies which would not improve the real cause. Possibly some kind of concentrated and supported government effort. Don't ask me how, but with out raising their IQ qualifications for such jobs, things will just remain as it is..I for one, do not believe that lower IQ ratings for blacks are because they are black! But more due to social matters and problems.

I personally know a number of black folks that are probably more educated and intelligent then I am.

It really has nothing to do with race. A newborn child has very little intellectual function -- that develops over 25 years (which explains why males under 25 have such a high accident rate.) The early period of brain development is critical -- children who have a chance to interact with adults, whose parents talk and read to them develop much faster than children who are neglected. what chance does the child of an unmarried 16-year old high school dropout have?

Worth a quick trip to the history books.

Third party movements in the country are typically ephemeral, since the collapse of the Whigs and rise of the Republican Party. Where they do succeed, it is by getting their positions adopted by one of the two major parties. It is highly unlikely that the current Republican party would be a home for such a black third party. So their best play is to see if they can get the Democrats to go along. There is low hanging fruit there, politically speaking--reforms that can enjoy support in white suburbia. If they don't overplay their hand, then black political groups could become part of a winning coalition in the near future and get some of the rewards.

And that is the tragedy of the Great Society --

Since 1970, out-of-wedlock birth rates have soared. In 1965, 24 percent of black infants and 3.1 percent of white infants were born to single mothers. By 1990 the rates had risen to 64 percent for black infants, 18 percent for whites. Every year about one million more children are born into fatherless families.

The Great Society programs kicked in in 1969-70.

Why not "ax" them in the Democratically controlled city public school jargon.

So Ray, to your question, I'm not the expert, but maybe less of this:

(Scroll down)

Group of people, all non-white, at a restaurant in SC. Manager comes to throw them out, says a customer complained they were verbally abusive. Manager threatens to call law enforcement, which for minorities is a dangerous escalation. Then the manager realizes that one guy plays for the Colts. Sudden change of attitude, hey we can work this out. Too late.

I've never been minding my own business in a restaurant only to be thrown out. Don't think I would like it at all.

Per your link...
The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association said 16 players tested positive for the coronavirus in the first wave of mandatory tests done in preparation for the restart of the season.
Those 16 players were part of a pool of 302 tested on Tuesday -- a 5.3% rate of positive tests leaguewide.

Looks like more not less of the average percentage. ..Probably from the type of sports with a lot of close touching..

From what I understand, this sort of thing happens to blacks enough to get frustrating. I admit it has never happened to me. But I'm a no-nonsense eater, LOL.

I'd like to hear what the manager says and also the person who complained said..before I pass judgement and so should you..
