Imagine a scenario where two kids grow up in a 3rd world country but were born in the US. The first kid has been taught all his life that the US is an unfair country where only those with money and privilege will succeed. He has been taught that lacking these privileges his likely top end is to barely scrape by and do the work that the privileged wouldn't want to do. The second kid was brought up to believe that the US was the land of opportunity and that if you busted your butt and were resolved to conquer any obstacle in your life, there was no limit to what you could achieve.
At 18, each of these kids parents scrape together all of their savings to get the child to the US where he will arrive penniless to try and make his way in life. Ten years later, who would you bet has achieved more and is living a better life? Which of these two is likely unknown to law enforcement and has a job with some sort of opportunity to get ahead in life?

I think the idea is that since Dems don't really believe the garbage they shovel on people whose votes they are attempting to annuitize, the people aren't supposed to believe it either.
Or something.
I would bet on neither.
were poor people better off before entitlement programs?
Allow me to translate "Don't keep up the good work!"
i'll never understand how a supposed military man holds such contempt for contingency planning. isn't that one of the most basic parts of strategic planning? planning for the worst does not assume the worst outcome.
"don't send out the air cover, guys. that just encourages the infantry to fail at their job."
Precisely. There's also a difference between disagreeing with opinions (and TNC is fairly radical, so it's to be understood that many of his ideas will be disagreed with) and calling someone a hack, too. You can subjectively dislike something without objectively calling it bad or wrong.
I think that because he has brought racial discourse into The Atlantic and the NYT and a wide range of MSM outlets, regardless of whether he "hacked" his way in, he's got the talent to stir the pot. America is navigating some fucked up shit with police and race and politics in the 21st century, and it's probably a good thing to have a loud black voice from Baltimore in the middle of it all.

I don't think that cyclical, subsistence dependency programs are your back-up plan.
hey when you've run out of arguments to make...
Why? Because he's half white?

you mean like how, after 60 or so years of modern warfared development, the US military relies almost exclusively on combined arms with air cover
not a big Jason Pierre-Paul fan, huh?
When you and your parents have white faces and white names.So there's no lesser "half white privilege"? At what ratio does the full privilege kick in?
