    Neither was Trump. He addressed illegal immigrants and vetting Syrian refugees before allowing them into the country. Did he express that well? No, he did not! But, he's not a politician who was used to weighing every single word. We ALL say things that come out too harsh, it doesn't mean we are bad, evil people. On the other hand, we know what Hillary has done, her soft, sweet, words mean nothing.

    I say this because for the past eight years, he's the major cause of friction between the races and by allowing illegal immigration and the criminal element it breeds.

    Donald Trump has no choice but to address it. But the liberal media twists his words and because of his forceful delivery, his passion for allowing immigrants into the country legally gets misinterpreted. IJS
    ValW says it like it is. Obama is the main cause of strained race relations today because when he comments he feeds into it. Race relations have been worse in Obama's 'reign' and he's directly responsible. He never misses an opportunity to politicize every event that happens and ignite the fires even more. Also he has no regard for the law. Even though we have certain laws concerning immigrants, etc, he told the justice department to ignore them. Obama is the worst president we have known and has pulled this country further into the left and socialism than it ever has been. Also in LGBT and related matters.

    I still like you FO (), but any Christian that would vote for Obama or Hillary is seriously devoid of judgment and has abandoned their moral base.

    I had a repeated, strong prompting to post this passage, so I did.

    I went back over to that thread and re-read and pondered the passage in the various translations and guess what JUMPED OUT at me?

    First the passage...


    Proverbs 6:16-19 KJV
    (16) These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:
    (17) A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
    (18) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
    (19) A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.


    Every one of the things mentioned in this passage is EXACTLY what Obama and Hillary do or promote all the time!

    FO , do not be deceived.

    Stay in the Word.
    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    So I'll say this and I'll bow out and ya'll can continue to defend racism..

    I will not back off the racist angle of this story (I don't care what some lesbian or wanna-be black/white woman did or said, I'm talking about THIS story of the Hispanic waitress being stiffed by a couple of red-necked prejudiced people). Before Trump open his fat mouth and talked about building a wall and making Mexico pay for it, before he started mouthing off about sending people back where they came from (and who knows he may want to do the same for African Americans--why not, what the "hell" do we have to lose?), etc etc, hardly anyone would have made a point of writing on a bill "we don't tip illegals"...and don't nobody tell me there has been public precedent before this. All he has done is woke up the closeted racists.

    And although it really is nobody's business who I'll vote for, I am serious when I say that I would rather write in and vote FO's Left Foot than be manipulated into voting for that slimeball Trump.

    That is all.

    ETA: Here's something to really get ya'lls goat... I would rather, if it were legally and constitutionally possible, vote Obama in for a THIRD TERM than Trumpy.

    How ya like me now??
    Like you just the same Sis and your love and support for Obama has long been an open secret so no new revelation there ...

    But do consider since you are upset and blame Trumpm for bigotry ... I ask what about the bigotry of low expectations that Hilary and Co have for black folks ...????

    What about the Failing Schools that they deliberately keep black kids in ? Isn't that even more racist and bigoted than a tip ?

    Feel free to continue voting for Hilary and Obama ..It's your own peeps IE black folks that will CONTINUE to pay the price

    Does Black Success Matter?
    By Dr. Thomas Sowell


    August 16, 2016 5 Min Read


    We keep hearing that "black lives matter," but they seem to matter only when that helps politicians to get votes, or when that slogan helps demagogues demonize the police. The other 99 percent of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media.

    What about black success? Does that matter? Apparently not so much.

    We have heard a lot about black students failing to meet academic standards. So you might think that it would be front-page news when some whole ghetto schools not only meet, but exceed, the academic standards of schools in more upscale communities.

    There are in fact whole chains of charter schools where black and Hispanic youngsters score well above the national average on tests. There are the KIPP (Knowledge IS Power Program) schools and the Success Academy schools, for example.

    Only 39 percent of all students in New York state schools who were tested recently scored at the "proficient" level in math, but 100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy school scored at that level in math. Blacks and Hispanics are 90 percent of the students in the Crown Heights Success Academy.


    The Success Academy schools in general ranked in the top 2 percent in English and in the top 1 percent in math. Hispanic students in these schools reached the "proficient" level in math nearly twice as often as Hispanic students in the regular public schools. Black students in these Success Academy schools reached the "proficient" level more than twice as often as black students in the regular public schools.

    What makes this all the more amazing is that these charter schools are typically located in the same ghettos or barrios where other blacks or Hispanics are failing miserably on the same tests. More than that, successful charter schools are often physically housed in the very same buildings as the unsuccessful public schools.

    In other words, minority kids from the same neighborhood, going to school in classes across the hall from each other, or on different floors, are scoring far above average and far below average on the same tests.

    If black success was considered half as newsworthy as black failures, such facts would be headline news — and people who have the real interests of black and other minority students at heart would be asking, "Wow! How can we get more kids into these charter schools?"

    Many minority parents have already taken notice. More than 43,000 families are on waiting lists to get their children into charter schools. But admission is by lottery, and far more have to be turned away than can be admitted.

    Why? Because the teachers' unions are opposed to charter schools — and they give big bucks to politicians, who in turn put obstacles and restrictions on the expansion of charter schools. These include politicians like New York's "progressive" mayor Bill de Blasio, who poses as a friend of blacks by denigrating the police, standing alongside Al Sharpton.

    The net result is that 90 percent of New York City's students are taught in the regular public schools that have nothing like the success of charter schools run by KIPP and Success Academy.

    That makes sense only politically, because it gains the money and the votes of the teachers' unions, for whom schools exist to provide jobs for their members, rather than to provide education for children.

    If you want to understand this crazy and unconscionable situation, just follow the money and follow the votes.

    Black success is a threat to political empires and to a whole social vision behind those empires. That social vision has politicians like Bill de Blasio and Hillary Clinton cast in the role of rescuers and protectors of blacks from enemies threatening on all sides. If politicians can promote paranoia, that means bigger voter turnout, which is what really matters to them.

    That same social vision allows the intelligentsia, whether in the media or in academia, to be on the side of the angels against the forces of evil. That's heady stuff. And a bunch of kids taking tests doesn't look nearly as exciting on TV as a mob marching through the streets, chanting that they want "dead cops." Black success has very little to offer politicians or the intelligentsia. But black children's lives and futures ought to matter — and would, if politicians and the intelligentsia were for real.
