Du Pont Heir Robert Richards IV Spared Jail for Raping Three-Year-Old Daughter

[lostinblue 1,989]

Let me see if I get this straight. You want to put your faith behind a man whose core message is pushing white people out of a city to make it completely black?

Manning is fiercely opposed to the gentrification of Harlem^[7] and calls for its residents to boycott its shops, restaurants, doctors, banks and churches.^[8] That action, combined with a general rent strike, would force all property owners out of Harlem, he said, leaving the neighborhood to its rightful inheritors: black people.^[2][9]

Manning calls his plan "No Dew, Nor Rain," after Elijah's warning to Ahab, king of Israel, of a coming drought. "When there's no dew, no rain, there's a drought – there's all kinds of suffering," said Manning. The whole of Harlem, he said, is to be a "drought zone."^[8][10]

Manning said the intent of the boycott was to return Harlem to its pregentrification days of 1990, without the crack, crime and boarded-up buildings.^[2] His hope, he says, is that declining property values will make housing affordable for black people.^[2]

You attack the man but have nothing to say about this you tube video ....He speaks the truth

We should just let a select few make new topics these days. They dictate the conversation anyway.

I'm not attacking him. I'm asking you a direct question. Do you stand behind his beliefs? Yes or no. Take your time.

Pretty much. I'm thinking about taking a sabbatical.

So what is incorrect in what he is saying.

I can find a video with some random person talking about how bad white people are and any other race for that matter, but does it make it right what they are saying? No. Is he partially right? Sure, I will take into account 10% of what he is saying. He can sit her on youtube and get paid by some anti-black person to post anti-black things. Anybody can do this.

1. Being poor is not unique to blacks. We have showed you this over and over. There are way more poor whites here in the U.S. than poor blacks. Poverty is all over the world and the face of poverty is not always as black as the propagandist want you to think. Sri Lanka, India, Philippine, Fiji, Bulgaria, Russia, Bangladesh, Hungary, most of the middle East and I can continue to post.

2. Let's talk accountability. The majority of the countries who have been colonized still suffer today. Natural resources were stripped heavily and puppets were put in power to continue these types of systems even when colonialism had so called ended. After that, you have dictators who are only out for themselves. So you have a high concentration of wealth in one place and everyone else struggles to get by. They cannot systematically rise because they are unable to. Sri Lanka still keep people as maids and servants based off of their last name. These people have little to no chance of advances. They go to the middle East to make money for their families knowing there is a 95% chance they will go back to Sri Lanka in a body bag.

U.S. blacks on the other hand, even though the system is still against us, we have continued to rise. Sorry you are LOST and do not accept this. Years of legalized slavery, years of legalized discrimination laws, and then years of people who do not want to recognize that Jim Crow is no longer legal. My grandmother dies a house maid. Are there some lazy blacks who don't want anything but to live in the hood and be left alone? Sure. Does this account for the majority of blacks? No. However, your racist views of black people allow you to think so. If this was the case, why do you think so many black men wanted to sell weed? Because they wanted to make money to help take care of their family. Then, the U.S. government came up with the War on Drugs. So they locked up as many black men and young boys as they could. Only to now legalize it so that white men can become rich off of it. Thank you lovely U.S. government. They want the high concentration of wealth in the hands of whites. If you act like you do not know this, it is because you do not want to.

3. You say blacks do not want anything. Ok. Lets give you this. But then please explain to me why we have black judges, lawyers, doctors, teachers, military personnel, linguists, engineers, accountants, budget analyst, entertainers, business owners, dentist, God I could list so many. Michele Obama worked for Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, is the sixth-largest U.S.-based corporate law firm in the U.S. Mellody Hobson, George Lucas's wife. In 2000, she ascended to become the president of Ariel, a Chicago investment firm that manages over $9 billion in assets.^[1] It is also one of the largest African American-owned money management and mutual fund companies in the United States.^[2]

4. Will power is a hard thing to come by when you feel your birthplace hates you. People should not have to wake up and cry in the morning knowing that when they go to work no matter how hard they work, they will never be appreciated or liked because they are black. So people cannot gain the strength to take these challenges. Many people become comfortable in their surroundings and do not want to leave. It is a psychological issue. This is why battered women stay with the men who are abusing them because they feel they cannot survive outside of the situation they have become so familiar with.

When you have walked these shoes, you will understand. The only thing you know is when you go to the store, when you travel to other countries, you are loved for your white skin.

You know nothing more so you understand even less.

You cannot answer this question he lays it out plain as day. You hate every thing this man says. I believe every thing that this man said in this video

Of course you do. And I was going to respond but Janelle wrote a very logical and elegant response to you already. Why don't you address her first, then, if you want, I'll write my answer.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

So anybody going to discuss the actual topic of this post? Or is every post a racism thread now?

I refuse to participate now. It has ruined my VJ experience

I left it alone. He is the one who posted that video. Do you want us to ignore him? Or should we address it?

You know sometimes people take silence as the truth.

You have addressed it, so have it. The problem is here the folks that think this way can't be changed. We get challenged because they want to believe what they feel is the right way, even though deep down they know it's not.

I know. Anyway, I'm done with it. My VJ experience was ruined the moment I stepped foot over here.

I hope you are having a good day. I am swamped!! I keep working on my emails, but they just keep coming in. I got 65 in just last night. Then of course they keep coming in during the day. I am finally down to 56.

I'll be glad when I get off as well. I have school tonight, on top of trying to run this building. My retirement can't come fast enough!

Hope your day gets better:)

I am long away from retirement. ha! Then if I switch fields after I finish this degree it will be even further off.

But hey, as long as I get vacation time and can do some intl travel I am always happy.

Minorities shouldn't be allowed to post. Then we wouldn't have any threads derailed by racial issues. Problem solved.

Maybe majorities shouldn't post either. Then this could be a truly quiet section.

It's that easy? I am sure Heman and the Thundercats can easily be your heroes too.
