Black Exhaustion and Our Luncheon. Fed Up With Corrupt, Incompetent Wall Street Journal.

Not Buying It: Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, and Robert Woodson Debunk Myths about the Black Experience in America

Featuring Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, Robert Woodson, and Peter Robinson via Uncommon Knowledge

In this wide-ranging conversation, recorded at the Old Parkland Conference in Dallas, Texas, Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, and Robert Woodson debunk the 1619 Project, advocate for the restoration of the Black family and the Black church, describe their own very different upbringings and formative experiences, and discuss the many reasons why they are optimistic about the future of Black Americans, despite prevailing narratives commonly expressed in the media.

Thursday 28 August, I hosted a discussion group of 6 buddies. Two could not make it. I sent two items to discuss.  One was written by an author and discussed how Palestinians were beginning to be a burden among Arabs who wanted to break through the handcuffs they have shackled themselves with for centuries..  

The other article I wrote and analogized the same thing was happening with the black community.

I am not a racist, never have been a racist and am at the point where I have been made to become a racist like the kicked dog discussed in the video.

The wonderful thing about America is freedom and with freedom comes success, failure and responsibility.  Democrats and their union lackeys have prevented blacks from having the kind of education they deserve. Furthermore, families that lack father's are another reason for black failure and errant behaviour. Thank the Democrats again because they would not offer welfare if the father was in the family unit.  

I can think of nothing more despicable and  Dem.Sen. Moynihan predicted the consequences over 50 years ago and was vilified by his own party.

Our lunch discussion was  wide ranging. We discussed limited terms for both elected politicians as well as unelected bureaucrats.  We touched on dispersing federal agencies throughout the nation and away from D.C.  

On a local level we discussed issues pertaining to Soros' funding of  radical DA's and how it came to be and was there anything that could be done to curtail it from occurring.  We discussed the quality of the American citizen as the root of many of our problems.

One of the attendees was a former DA and discussed the nature of the office and the people attracted to serve. He was an optimist and thought the tide was turning but would take 30 or more years to bring us back to where we departed.   

He also acknowledged that in the entire dining room he doubted whether anyone present had ever read opinions rendered by Justice Thomas yet, had already formed opinions of the man.

One, at the table, was another attorney and had read many of Thomas' opinions.

We discussed the mid term election and the pitiful state of American affairs and the ineptness of the current president.

We discussed the Democrat's tactic of manipulating words in order to control the agenda.  Are we in a recession because of two back to back negative GDP Quarters?

Obviously we solved no problems but we enjoyed the company of each other and hope the current radical Democrat Party will be smashed, Stacey Abrams will go down  in justified defeat and were undetermined about Trump's running.

Because we are all conservatives it was somewhat of an echo chamber discussion but I daresay the education, rational thinking of those attending collectively exceeds that of the average voter.

Speaking for myself,  I have faith in the goodness of American's but not their sophistication.  They still have commonsense.

I have mentored a black kid who reached out to me some 4 years ago. I am proud of his accomplishments and the progress he has made both in education and job experience. He has not always done what I challenged him to do but at least I have exposed him to another side and he takes it to heart.

He is the hope of his race. 

My Louisville daughter has done an amazing job raising money, getting inspirational speakers to come to West End School, which she helped found, to speak and she mentors graduates long after they have moved on.

Amy is much softer than I am. Takes two to tango.

A cousin of mine clerked for Justice Thomas some 3 years ago and, of course, my father helped liberate Birmingham, with others, of their tyrannical police chief and his snarling dogs.

My family has been on the right side of the race ledger for decades but I confess I am no longer willing to be a pin cushion for black radicals, BLM, Stacey Abram's garbage etc..

On May 14, we left for our annual trip to Litchfield Beach, to be with "family" from our Atlanta days. I asked the WSJ to withhold delivery of my paper  and restart the Sat/Sun Edition on May 22.

They failed to do so. Several days later I called the WSJ Circulation Department and for the next two weeks spoke with an Indian male, and perhaps his wife, and they were courteous and totally incompetent.  I then asked to speak to their superior and they said they had none.  I then wrote a letter to the Assistant Editor of theWSJ and never got a reply.

Then I cancelled the paper portion of my subscription and retained the electronic portion and asked for a refund of the unused portion of my paper subscription and have yet to receive same.

I started reading the WSJ in 1950 when I was in college and, except for the time I was in service  and mostly out of the country, I have been a loyal subscriber. We are talking about some 70 years.

You would think the WSJ would give a damn but apparently not. I even asked Kim Strassel to help me and to o avail. A second disappointment.

  TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN MORE CONTEMPTIBLE THE WSJ HAS NOW STOLEN WHAT THEY OWE ME FROM THE UNFULFILLED SUBSCRIPTION.

THIS IS CAPTALISM AT IT'S WORST AND WHAT IS RADICALLY WRONG WITH OUR NATION. CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS GONE TO HELL AND CORPORATIONS  ARE MORE INTERESTED IN DIVERISTY HIRING THAN SERVING CLIENTS.

AND YOU WONDER WHY I AM A PESSIMIST.  A PESSIMIST IS SOMEONE WHO HAS MET TOO MANY OPTIMISTS.

The Great Depletion  By Katie Pavlich +++ Virginia AG Sues Biden for Pushing Transgender Ideology on Children By Sarah Arnold +++ Democrats Going for Desperate Line of Attack Ahead of Midterms  By Rebecca Downs +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  FROM HOOVER: The Roots of Black Economic Progress By David Henderson via Defining Ideas David Henderson describes how substantial drops in the poverty rate among Blacks and Hispanics are due in large part to the Trump administration’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Incomes rose by a higher percentage in Black and Hispanic households than in White households. From 2017 to 2019, median income for Black households increased by 13.5 percent, from $40,594 to $46,073. Meanwhile, for Hispanics, that figure went up 11.3 percent, from $61,372 in 2017 to $68,703 in 2019. Henderson credits the Trump legislation’s reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent for this substantial economic progress. He explains that economists have long known that tax cuts increase incentives for more capital investments in workers, which translates into growth in real wages and national income. +++ Not Buying It: Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, and Robert Woodson Debunk Myths about the Black Experience in America Featuring Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, Robert Woodson, and Peter Robinson via Uncommon Knowledge In this wide-ranging conversation, recorded at the Old Parkland Conference in Dallas, Texas, Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, and Robert Woodson debunk the 1619 Project, advocate for the restoration of the Black family and the Black church, describe their own very different upbringings and formative experiences, and discuss the many reasons why they are optimistic about the future of Black Americans, despite prevailing narratives commonly expressed in the media. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
