I agree with BRKLN, he really did not push an African American agenda while in office. He is/was foremost a secular humanist socialist and rode that agenda as President. I feel most African Americans were upset with a lot of his social agenda he pushed while he was in office, but stayed with him be...

LMAO

That was excellent...and there were no comics in the 50s that were not Jewish.

I bought the book about 10 minutes ago (on Amazon). I'm not a kindle guy although she is. I am more comfortable handing the book to her with a conversation about why than telling her to download it. That works. I think you should ultimately read it at some point, but the biggest key is for her to. ...

its controversial to me. Obama left office with this country more racially divided than any time since the late 60's. And I'm not going to accept "it was always there, he just brought it to the surface" as a diversion for the reality of his presidency. We'll just be on different sides of ...

I'll agree with that, too.

That book has influenced how I parent...and that advice is what I drill into my staff all the time.

Your insistence on not having her just give up is a big key, so you're halfway there. Many parents would not be self-aware enough to even try to figure out a good approach.

That's not that controversial. That's right in the MLK wheelhouse. That "infection" is the reason why I said on here months ago that the number of places I was willing to live in this country was minute, because I know what being in a non-diverse community will do to kids my age. That is r...

But it seems kind of odd to say that Thomas is making decisions with a bias toward whites That's not what I was saying. I was saying he's a horrible SCJ. That's all. Bklyn, why do you have a problem with well-educated black men in position of great power? . Heh. I have zero problems with that, on i...

I didn't read that in the link.

Tell your daughter working hard is not for her coach and not for you. Tell her working hard is for herself...and it's bigger than LAX.

Then buy her the book "Grit" by Angela Duckworth and force her to read it and discuss it with you. You read it, too.

I forgot DS is here. I should have figured he'd be a buyer.

I knew eCat was in, too. My sentence was me being slightly controversial to whet the interest before the click

Just like Hop Sing.

Internet privacy just hit the shitter today. Almost missed it wading through the Rice paddies.

interesting how the Dem narrative has changed in last 3 days though Trump is insane for suggesting Obama admin spied on him ---> Susan Rice was just doing her job From what I've read today, not much is known. Susan Rice did something totally under the purview of her job, that was approved by an ind...

Probably too much junk in the trunk for most of you guys, but this is a straight siren's song in my part of the world...

seems kinda straight forward at this point. Trump knew the Russians were fucking around trying to do whatever they could to make Hillary look like a criminal, plus he isn't a Rusky hater like our democratic friends who apparently still think this 1963 (that's maybe the most surprising part of this ...
