rbrnmw's JournalJohn Kasich makes patronizing comment
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/29/john-kasich-african-americans_n_1840366.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopularDuring an event hosted by The Huffington Post in Tampa, Florida, Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) gave his thoughts on the direction business growth should take.
"You know where entrepreneurship in my opinion has to go? Into the inner city," Kasich said. "We have to convince African Americans that they can start and own businesses. And I was just laughing the other day reading that great article about Jay-Z, who's got a tiny little ownership of the Newark Nets and he's running the whole gosh darn thing now."
Kasich continued: "People like that, who have shown that they can come form the streets and have a tough beginning and then be able to become great entrepreneurs -- we've got to get it into our schools in the inner-cities, we've got to show kids that, boy, you can be what you want to be. And Arianna, I think it's critical, because if you take a look at the popele who've been left out of prosperity around our country. It's terrible. And we're having set-aside programs in my state and I tell my staff, I said look, if you don't give African Americans particularly an opportunity to share in the economic pie, we're just nuts."
Help I'm feeling really depressed I'm hearing that this is President Obama's to lose BUT
I have been voting since 88 and have seen just about everything the GOP dirty tricks bag holds. I am worried about suppression and electronic voting machines along with the biggest bunch of outright lies going unchallenged I've EVER witnessed it's like Rove and Atwater were cloned into one big fucking election stealing machine. I need a drink and somebody to tell me I'm wrong
I bought The American Experience program about RFK I think I will watch it
I hate Paul Ryan and cant watch him
poppy looks really sick I do feel bad for him
OMG these people make me sick
Some people were joking that Jindal should just go ahead to the RNC because the only ones who would drown would be the ignorant people who didn't evacuate and those are Obama voters anyway and deserve their fate more or less.
These kinds of jokes should not be allowed to stand so I told them how sick they were they apologized but it doesn't lessen the degree of disgust I feel
Being a life-long Democrat I am very embarrassed to admit this but here it goes
A couple of years ago I got into ancestry and started my family tree I found I was distantly related to a few presidents Kennedy, Lincoln, Pierce, and The Bushes GWB has the most lines in my ancestry I've been thinking about writing him. But I can't bring myself to do it as I hate the man. My mother's grandmother was Samual Bush's niece My father is related to both the Walker's and the Pierce's. Here is the dilemma my kids want to write to him I know he would probably never respond anyway but I told them no they couldn't write him. Am I being petty?
he is lying through his teeth Ohio has gotten horrible under him
Kasicko I hate that man with a passion I'd like to know where all jobs are he created
Just finished watching The American Experience about The Kennedys
It made me sad and nostalgic at the same time. Where are the Jack's, Bobby's, and Teddy's in todays political pool?
