40 million strong, Black Americans are the richest and post powerful population of African descent on the planet.


Glenn Loury is the first tenured Black Professor of  Economics at Harvard and today is a Professor of Economics  at Brown University and a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. He currently hosts a podcast called "The Glenn Show."

Excerpt

…the very fact that the cultural barons and elites of America—who run the New York Times and the Washington Post, who give out Pulitzer Prizes and National Book Awards, who make the grants at the MacArthur Foundation and run the human resources departments of corporate America—have bought in to the new woke racial sensibility hook, line, and sinker gives the lie to the pessimism that the American dream doesn’t apply to Blacks. It most certainly and emphatically does apply, and it is coming to fruition daily.

The central issue, then, is a question of narrative. Are we going to look through the dark lens of the U.S. as a racist, genocidal, white supremacist, illegitimate force? Or are we going to see it for what it has become over the course of the last three centuries: the greatest force for human liberty on the planet?



Thankfully we saw this weekend a return to pride in America, city parades, fireworks, the Blue Angels flying high, maskless  barbecues, and families enjoying each other.

Loury is a brilliant scholar and and political hack.

He learned the real money is on the right so now he’s back with the boot strap crew.

Damn shame the women have to exist in this silly Highlander (there can be only one) environment.

[bambu.]

Teach your daughters (and sons) self defence before they get to high school.
Girl bullies will bail your daughters up in the school bathrooms, taunt them, take their ipods and toss them into the toilets...then threaten them that if they tell anyone bad things will happen to them.
The bullies need to be too scared to do that, for fear of getting hurt.

Ham's tune changes depending on who he wants to attack, same as always.

Cosby's prosecutor will face disciplinary action, as well he should.

And Sha'Carri Richardson accepted her suspension and says that she let her fans down, not anybody else.

So, Ham, make excuses for the prosecutor, while blaming the runner. Business as usual for you.

Cosby is free because the Woke put so much political pressure on the prosecutor that he fucked up big time.

...if you know the rules, and you break the rules, you have to live with the consequences.

 

My observations are accurate. They just don't conform to your narrow Woke World.

Get over it.

Your "observations" are contradictory, but whether you just won't admit it or you cannot grasp it is beyond my ken.

You still cannot admit a mistake.

You misinterpreted what was clearly written and you ignored the context of each statement. It was explained. But your bigotry and bias derailed your comprehension.  Or you're playing games to please the rest of the CoW.

 


So we'll help you:

Geraldo Rivera approved of Bill Cosby's release from prison after "grotesquely unfair" proceedings, adding that Harvey Weinstein may be next.

Rivera, an attorney, said he wrote a note to himself in 2018 describing Cosby as a "sexual predator who left a trail of human misery and despair" while predicting that "his conviction will be overturned" because the judge "went way over the line in allowing unrelated victim testimony."

"What they did to this guy was mob justice," he said on Fox News's America Reports with John Roberts and Sandra Smith. "First of all, the former state [district attorney] promised that they would not bring a criminal case against him if he testified in a civil deposition. That was an express agreement that he had with the former district attorney. That's No. 1. No. 2, to bring in five unrelated victims to testify against him was so grotesquely unfair that it just seemed to me that this was mob justice."

 

"How is he going to get back these two years that he has lost?" Rivera asked, adding, "This never should have happened."

When asked by John Roberts about how the accusers will get a sense of justice, Rivera said, "Our hearts go out to these victims."

"They should have gone to a prosecutor when their cases were ripe for justice. I am sorry that they are not getting a sense of moral fulfillment now or rehabilitation or repair for the damage that this man probably did to them, but that's not the way the criminal justice system works," he continued. "In our system, there's an accuser, there's evidence, the evidence is testified by the defense, and then, the jury or the judge rules on it. In this case, they brought in people that were unrelated to this victim. Why just five? Why not 50? Why not all 50 that you say were harmed by this monster? ... In this case, [the prosecutors] embellished [Cosby's alleged wrongdoing] in a way that was wrongful."




And...

President Joe Biden says U.S. Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson knew the rules before using marijuana, ultimately leading to her being banned from competing in the games this month.

“The rules are the rules,” he told reporters Sunday. “Everybody knew the rules going in. Whether they should remain the rule is a different issue. But, the rules are the rules and I was really proud of the way she responded.”


Doesn't matter. You're still an anal-retentive, insignificant, lonely old man, josh.

Nice of Donald Trump to admit to the charges against his organization. His son, Eric, did, too, though I don't think it's mentioned in this.

That is not why Cosby was released Forrest. He was specifically released because the court found that a prior prosecutor's promise not to prosecute if Cosby agreed to testify in a civil case was binding on later prosecution. It had nothing to do with the sort of mythical manhunting overkill you, our resident kangaroo and Gerry Rivers fantasize about.

The new old face of the GOP.

[Hamilton Samuels]

Racist Dem: Democratic Rep. Cori Bush disputed the Fourth of July's message of independence on Sunday, saying the holiday only represents freedom "for white people."

"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people," Bush, a member of the left-wing "Squad," wrote on Twitter amid celebrations of the 245th Independence Day. "This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free."
