re: #149 thedopefishlives

Um, can you give an example of who is part of the ‘black rights’ community, and who keeps pushing for government handouts?

Would this qualify? I’ve been working with a local group who’s trying to get compensation for the shipyard, mutions, and other workers who worked here in the Bay Area during WWII, making an enormous contribution to the war effort, and then were forced out of their jobs when white soldiers returned home and needed jobs. It turned a prosperous middle-class black community here in the Bay Area into an impoverished one, and the economic effects are still here today.

Not many of that generation are left alive, but some of their widows are, often the most stable matriarchs in the black community.

So is their seeking compensation for their unjust firing looking for a government handout?
