It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.
Not true of the last few years.
It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met.
The cop has been charged with murder, in record time. As I asked before, do you want to execute him without trial?
And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality and humanity.
Most of us want to live in peace; as in all civil society, those intent on violence must be removed.
Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.
Tsk, tsk. Go ahead and list your demands lest US cities are burned down.

Why not both? Or aren’t “they” capable?
This is what happens when voices aren’t listened to.
I’m amazed people are surprised. Trump made America a tinder box, this was coming one way or another.
Vile human. Monster.
Obama being the first black President certainly changed America..
Those that wish to can't wind back the clock. The genie is out of the bottle.

America has a great tradition of providing opportunity? Really? Got any facts to back that up or is this just made up bulls*** like usual?
Well, let's look at the facts: if you are born in a family in the bottom quintile of earnings in the USA you have a higher chance of staying in the bottom quintile than equivalents in Britain, France, Italy and Sweden.
If you're black it's even worse.
Delusional.

Says a republican politician? She's happy black unemployment is only 60 higher than white unemployment. She's a big BLOTUS fan too.
"Black Americans are doing great under this president, and as this continues, we can expect surprises from this community in November 2020."
It's now May, and it's fair to say we are all surprised.
The cop has been charged with murder, in record time. As I asked before, do you want to execute him without trial?
As I've stated what, around three times now? Everyone charged with any crime is entitled to a fair trial.
Tsk, tsk. Go ahead and outline list demands so that US cities aren't burned down.
It's been 53 years since King's speech - not enough time to address social inequality between now and then?

Ah come on. Shooting fish in a barrel is no fun. "The land of opportunity" is a well-worn slogan going back generations. You'd be aware of that if you had the knowledge you accuse others of lacking.
America is the land of opportunity, and should be proud of it

Oh look - BLOTUS says kneeling quietly during the anthem is disrespectful... so WTF is he doing here?
I almost feel sorry for you Lee - anything Trump has ever said critical of any of his opponents, there is a tweet or video showing him doing the same or worse.

Last year, on "Fox & Friends" Trump said that showing disrespect during the anthem was "maybe" a deportable offense. "You have to stand proudly for the national anthem, or you shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country,"
looking forward to the BLOTUS deporting himself.

President Trump appears to flout his own rule with his behavior during the national anthem at the Super Bowl
He didn’t take a knee, but in the eyes of many, he might as well have. Yes, President Donald Trump, oft-critical of those who don’t “stand proudly” for the...

Hmm you reply with a fact-free opinion piece from Fox, not surprising, facts can be very inconvenient for some.
The Land of Opportunity is a well worn lie, peddled by the right wing media cheer squad as you demonstrate so well by linking to that article.
It is less a land of opportunity than Britain, France, Italy and Sweden, that's what real data tells us.

I was suggesting Trump was poking fun at the extravagant vocal gymnastics. I don't know the context.
Here it is in black and white - in a piece querying its veracity.

Here's some actual real data about the land of opportunity and real wealth differentials based on race. From that renowned leftist organisation, McKinseys

The economic impact of closing the racial wealth gap
The persistent racial wealth gap in the US is a drag on Black Americans as well as the overall economy. New research quantifies the impact of closing the gap and identifies key sources of this socioeconomic inequity.

Yes there are cultural factors at play. I can guarantee that if e.g. Aboriginal kids were required by law to have 95% school attendance up to the age of 16, say as a proviso for welfare payments, the prospects of Aboriginals as a group would take a quantum leap forward in the space of a generation. Hence I donate annually to assist those making an effort.
How do you break out of the rut if you're born to parents who don't care whether you get an education or not? Nobody has found the answers.
