Terry >People like this guy, Jesse, and Al Sharpton have made a living keeping "their people" poor and helpless African-Americans, even the rich ones, are poor compared to the new "democratic" leaders in Africa like Mugabe, Mbeki, Njoma etc. >Our government made a living out of doing the same thing by keeping people on welfare In Africa, it's the taxpayers who are supporting these guys in the manner to which they have become accustomed. While poverty, famine, plague and pestilence abound around them, the black leaders in Africa live like the aristocracy in 17th Century France. Of course, the poorer their people are, the more they feel they are entitled to hand-outs from the "developed" nations. I ask you, where, except in Africa, have you heard that the major industry in the country, from the leaders down, is begging --- apart from stealing, that is. >It is interesting how blacks always look somewhere else for help. They have not figured out how to help themselves Oh yes, they have! Look in the jails to see how they have "helped themselves". Blacks like to make out that they are always the victims of racism but the days of racial discrimination by whites are long past. However, the buzzword today is that they are victims of being "previously disadvantaged" or slavery, even though that ceased 140 years ago in the US. Of course, although slavery is still practiced in Africa eg Sudan, that "doesn't count" because it's African enslaving African and, by definition, blacks cannot be racists. In any multi-racial country one will always find the convict population, and presumably the criminal ranks, has a preponderance of blacks over all other races, notwithstanding that the members of the other races are equally or even more poor. But, one dare not tell them that --- that's called "hate speech". Just as Bill Clinton would say, one thing I can promise you is that I am not a racist.
