Good for Mr. Young. The black population across this country needs about 500000 more just like him.

It cracks me up when people like you criticize the right for not "including black people" but then criticize them for making an effort. Now that there's a guy that shares a political ideology, you're chastising people for promoting him.

Smarmy liberals are the scourge of the earth.

Most black working men I know are fiscally conservative. If you have your own business and are not sucking the government's dick, you can't survive otherwise.

ETA: I regularly patronize a dozen or so black businesses here, and none of the owners are remotely close to being SJW types, and all of them garner plenty of white business.

The only bitching the black oil field workers do is about wearing the hot fire resistant clothes in July.

A good job, or even better, your own business, is a huge outlook changer.

I represent a guy that has a car wash business. He has three guys who work for him, and it was amazing how quickly he switched outlooks when his guys would come in late or not work.

That's sad when his words are defined as "conservative" and not reality.

I guess you're sad he's not on the race baiting government plantation.

This part pisses me off. Yes, America is all about opportunity but it is no one else's responsibility to provide this. The early American colonists did not have anyone provide anything when settling a new country and drafting a constitution.

I'm all for criticizing SWB when it's warranted and it has been many times. This does not feel like one of those times IMO

Literally a direct quote from the Pledge of Allegiance. Is that talking about race too?

So you think that dividing people is what should be done? We shouldn't try to work together to make a better world? Opportunity is bad?

You're just searching for something to bitch about. You people are as bad as the race baiters. In fact you are race baiters for the other side.

You are trying a little to heard to find something that isn't there. She has said plenty of stupid things but isn't there this time.
