Yeah, it's not DU material... I think...

That is a thing of beauty.

Anyone who confuses legal and political equality with identity of talents and character has never thought for two minutes consecutively about either thing.

Remember the day General Discussion went back in time to 1969?

A big year for me, 1969...

He was on a suicide mission for the cave clan. You tried to save him, but alas:

He was too full of it to hear you.

Last sentence and all of it. Perfect. Attempting to compose a longer, suitable answer for later.

That has always been my motto.

It's not a Wall St. plot. In business, less taxes paid, means more money for shareholders.

Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.

In The Beatitudes, Jesus pronounced both Blessings and Woes:

Luke 6:20-26 King James Version (KJV)

Blessings:

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

Woes:

24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

This made sense to me and everyone I knew growing up, a definition of total human equality. Many don't want to hear it as they are in love with themselves and their possessions.

'When will this great nation finally give white people the recognition they deserve?'

When they elect Hillary Clinton!

MUAHAHAHA!

Chew on that, wingnuts!

In the interest of full disclosure, some of my best friends are white.

To Mr. Brooks:

You get respect, you must give it first. Try it some time.

Or keep whining. That really changes things.

Signed,

Card-Carrying White Person who recognizes the gifts that people of color give us every day, even without asking.

LOL! Yes, it's all true!
