We all need to understand that the problems mentioned above of people leeching off society sitting on the stoop drinking a 40 and not doing a god damn thing all day except having kids and bitching about everything is NOT meant to talk about only blacks. If you think that is the case then you have never been out of the city. Go take an amtrak and stop off in all these backwards rural towns and see the inbreds with 12 kids who don't work and just sit on the porch all day. It's not a racist thing, it's a society thing. If you think it's racist to criticize social leeches then you obviously are stating that only black people do that. I don't think it's a race thing, I think it's a problem that society allows people to live in this fashion, answering to no one and not having to pull their own weight.
If you see my point as a racist one then you have some serious problems with the connections in your brain.

your minority law school friend is a smart man.
your distorted view of the world is unsettling. how you can blame the republicans for the mess we're in is beyond my comprehension. i think you'd better look back a little further to our 42nd president for the roots of the evil they prey on us now.
you're post was disturbing, at best...

In fact, the only people on the planet that hated Clinton were...
Repugnants.

Yes, it certainly is, especially since I couldn't get my full name in b/c of you.

It just didn't work but that's neither here nor there.
We need to start tellingthe truth around here and people need to stop propogating the lies told of the past administration. I don't get it. Clinton brings unheard of prosperity (that we thought would last forever) and rabid Americans crucify him (like Jesus) and Bush brings in fear and misery, and he is thought of as some hero?
What the hell? Is this the Twillight Zone?

ok,
I'm looking at the great depression,
why didn't the president step in with his awe inspiring powers and stop that from happening.
FDR did, and he did a great job of getting us slowly out of it, unfortunately, i don't see the executive branch as the end all for economic progress in america. infact, i see government as hindering most of it.
that's neither here nor there.

Now, we need a president who can bring back investor confidence in America.
