I will say again. When historians look back hundreds of years from now they will realize that slavery was in fact the biggest mistake the United States made but not because of the slavery. Rather because it brought black people to the United States in large number.

Was this a decision against the X holiday, or to support the protestors; they have to eat. CFA should just ignore the Commies, until they ruin the business. Then CFA should just pack up and leave and punish them by removing their otherwise desirable product.

Communism/Socialism are incompatible with Constitutional Principle Capitalism, minus some extraordinary power. As long as there are different levels of competition-based affluence, there will be envy, contempt and ultimate hatred on the part of the less-gifted/powerful have nots against the 'selfish' haves. Only AI and manipulation of the human brain can change this psychological dynamic. Who knows what the future holds. Relative degrees of Heaven or Hell for all concerned I suspect.

There is no forward thought process. They can’t think of the long term damage of their actions. They have been programmed to only think about their immediate feelings, and like a petulant child, they will display anger and action vs thought and evolution.

Hmmm, you would’ve thought they’d appreciate chicken restaurants remaining open on one of their black idol days.

Neal Boortz had a great comment on Malcolm X. It was back when Alex Haley came out with the book ROOTS. Black people got an interest in learning about their ancestry in Africa. He demonstrated the problem with an example: 'If Malcolm X had wanted to research his ancestry he could have visited villages all over Africa and asked the locals: 'Excuse me, I'm trying to find out where my family originates. Does your village contain any people named Mr. or Mrs. X?'

This is how you drive businesses away from your community.

The urban progs view of life is so fricking funny. Who do you think eats most fast food?

Do you really think most urban poor folks can afford an overpriced burger at some hipster food cart?

People scream about food deserts, same people cry when an affordable food joint shows up in the hood.

Amazing display of cognitive dissonance.

They're talking about grocery stores, not fast food chains.

If youre starving, its there.

But you folks would rather some overpriced hipster burger stand open that pays less than fast food, and is far less affordable.

No one hates the poor more than bubble dwelling progs.

Funny how they're not in the business of adding to society or constructing new things.


Bc their view of success is purely relative to those around them. It’s everything is shitty their shitty life is merely average.
