Black and Right...

Would that this man be running for President. I would tread lava for his ideology.

Tell the truth: If you saw him walking towards you, you would cross to the other side of the street.

I thought he was doing pretty well until he got to the part about the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg. Is that what he thinks today's upper class is? We should forgive those at the bottom of the financial pile for not seeing the upper class that way. That part of his speech reminds me of the line from Cool Hand Luke: "You gotta stop being so good to me, boss."

I like him; he and I could talk for awhile without getting bored. His first snippet:

"The notion that the Democrats are for the poor, and the Republicans are for the rich...Now if Republicans are for the rich, then that must mean that Republicans must need the rich to keep their power, and if they need the rich to keep their power, then that must mean they need to keep the rich rich, to keep their power... If that's the case, and that means that Democrats are for the poor, then that must mean that they need the poor, and they need to keep the poor that way to keep their power."

Not a bad insight.

This guy makes more sense than anyone from McCains camp; they should have hired him for the campaign trail.

Not even, I wouldn't cross the street for Mike Tyson.

This guy is definitely a threat to Obama's ego.

I would love to have a couple beers with this guy, especially since he looks like he's had too much coffee today LOL.

I have alot of black customers who feel just like this guy does, sadly there are not enough of them putting their views out there, especially when all the leadership they have to choose from is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who clearly know nothing of bringing the racial divide to a close, but further spread it with their , I hate to use the term because they use it so loosely, "hate speech."
Truly sad.

Black people are not some monolithic, lemming-like, one-minded people, who need "leaders." They are as diverse in opinion than any other group.

I would wager a lot of the black customers you speak of are also Obama supporters.

Not a bad insight.
I agree though it's not a new one. I doubt the Democrats actually have a conscious plan to keep people in poverty. They probably truly believe they are doing good with all their social engieering. The end result though is to breed a welfare depenent underclass that will keep voting for them in perpetuity. And when you have such a perfect symbiosis you're not going to do anything to change it.
