In my 42 years of life, no person..black or white has ever tried to mislead me to “settle” for their idea of a good job. If that is what you let “black people” “advise” you (so you say), then you’re right…that was your fault. You have to think for yourself and not let ANYBODY tell you what to do – you can listen to advice, but be sure to use your own intelligence and research skills before you make any decision. That ought to be plain common sense.

Again, I am a black democrat and I do not think the way you suggested in your post “The Worst Kind of Democrat is a Black Democrat,” nor do I know any black democrats with the crazy ideology you wrote about. The only people who feel that they are “entitled” to something are lazy, and intellectually inferior…and you cannot characterize that type of mentality on all black democrats. If you’re going to make blanket statements, make sure that they are at least somewhat correct – you’re way off base.

Common sense tells me if we as black people would be more responsible for ourselves, then we would not continue to fail – it is not up to the government, it’s up to us – each and every one of us.
