No, it isn't just a matter of changing times. It's a matter of the Welfare State harming families. Thomas Sowell, black conservative, sociologist, historian, and author The welfare state: Rhetoric vs. reality He's an economist, not sociologist.

That is really cool! Thank-you!:ty: He doesn't really want to have voting rights or other privileges, because since nobody has lived as an Indian in his family since his great-great grandparents, he doesn't feel that would be right. He's mainly interested (and some of the kids are) in...

I don't watch any network news and I don't know what The Blaze is, although it sounds vaguely familiar. I read all sides of the spectrum and draw conclusions from that.

He was speaking about D.C. and while he now says (quite a bit after the fact) that he meant something different and was taken out of context, what he said was this: "We've got to do something about these Asians coming in, opening up businesses -- those dirty shops," Barry said Tuesday night...

I didn't have to go out of my way at all. We were friends at the time of the King beating, everybody was talking about it, and I have never forgotten her reaction. Everytime King comes up I instantly am taken back to that moment when she shared just how brutal LA police officers were...

1. You've never believed anything I say anyway, so it's dishonest to pretend otherwise. 2. There was nothing misleading in my post. I perhaps made the mistake of assuming you knew more about politics and current events than you do. I did not realize it was unknown to you that Barry as the...

Sigh. You make things so difficult, so much more difficult than they need to be. You asked why the riots, which were supposedly in response to acts of brutality by white police officers, actually targeted Koreans. I gave you some possible reasons why, pointing out the attitudes toward...

He isn't condoning the beat-down. That's just how you have chosen to label him, so you filter everything he says through your preconceived ideas. Rodney King's beatdown wasn't because he was black. It's because the LA Police were thugs who beat up lots of people, regardless of color, because...

Maybe because former Mayor Marion Barry's ugly attitude represents more than his own bigotry: And because garbage like this was being spewed in publications geared towards blacks in the '80s JSTOR

Deaf culture is blunt. Bottesini is even more so. If you want to engage with Deaf people, you need to have a thicker skin. Instead of getting your feelings hurt, try to think about what she said, all of what she said, not just the part that hurt your feelings, and why she said it. Your...

The percentage has increased partly because we redefined poverty. People living in what we call 'poverty' now would have been called 'middle class' in the 60s. But I agree with you, government dependency is a trap as vicious and crippling as slavery. In fact, did you know that the black...

Except that isn't justice. I was living in Japan at the time of the Rodney King beatings. A friend of mine there is from LA. She was a white girl who had mouthed off to the cops once when they pulled her over for speeding. She wouldn't ever talk about what happened after that, except to...

I am thinking about the mountain of laundry I should be folding right now.

Instead of you trying to pick a topic, ask him what he likes to do. What's his favorite food, favorite color, favorite book? Does he have a job? Ask him about his job, does he like it, what does he do? If he doesn't have a job, ask him what he wants to do. Does he have any pets? Ask him. If...

I'm not so sure about the Cherokee and a blood requirement. What we were told is that your Cherokee ancestor had to sign the Dawes Commission Roll, which closed in the early 1900s. That's the roll my husband's great-great-grandfather refused to sign because he 'just wanted to be American,'...

Which is so much harder than the kids, IMO. When my kids are having those moments, I can tell myself, "They will outgrow this." When my dad was alive and being very difficult, I could not say that.

We won't buy them for our son, either. Given his active life, he is more likely to lose contacts than glasses and they cost more than we want to spend on replacements, he is not likely to follow up on the regular care they require, and his prescription is still changing.

Supposedly some distant ancestor of mine was Indian, I forget what tribe, but I think that's just a fun family story. both of my husband's great-great-grandparents were part Indian, Cherokee and Chocktaw. They lived in Oklahoma. Their daughter, my husband's great-grandmother, helped raise him...

My son-in-law, who is deaf in one ear because of his service in Iraq, says he would be interested in a hearing aid but they are too expensive, and the military won't pay for one for him because 'they issued earplugs in basic training." I suggested he go back to the VA with his father-in-law...

My deaf friend asked me to go and I said yes. Now I'm getting cold feet. I don't think my signing skills are up to it, and I don't have any idea what happens at their open house.
