Odds Black people ever wake-up

Yes +3000
No -5000

From 2004 to 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus’s political and charitable wings took in at least $55 million in corporate and union contributions, according to an analysis by The New York Times, an impressive amount even by the standards of a Washington awash in cash. Only $1 million of that went to the caucus’s political action committee; the rest poured into the largely unregulated nonprofit network. (Data for 2009 is not available.)
But the bulk of the money has been spent on elaborate conventions that have become a high point of the Washington social season, as well as the headquarters building, golf outings by members of Congress and an annual visit to a Mississippi casino resort.
In 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation spent more on the caterer for its signature legislative dinner and conference — nearly $700,000 for an event one organizer called “Hollywood on the Potomac” — than it gave out in scholarships, federal tax records show.


Of course, in their defense, any investigation or accusations will be because of racism.

In my opinion, it will take major sports stars to band together to usher in a new generation of thinking. When Ronald Reagan addressed the NAACP and told them they had willingly accepted a new form of slavery he was booed. When JC Watts called them "race hustling pimps" he was called a "Tom".


Jim Brown is old school and has tried to make some inroads in this area, but sometimes has been his own worst enemy. If Bill Cosby, Oprah, Michael Jordan, Barkley, etc etc would come out with an organization to blunt and defang the entitlement culture created by these people--it might be achieved in our lifetime.

Otherwise, NO
