@Rich,
The NYT typically capitalizes Black when referring to people,
oh, but I forgot, you don't read the paper:-)

As far as Charlie's doubts about Black pilots, I guess he's never heard of
or cared about the Tuskegee Airmen:-)

The lack of a strong Black presence in numerous professions had far less to do
with competence and more to do with prejudice plain and simple!

If the dude can't speak or doesn't even know the language of
where he wants to stay, best to stay home.

Kirk spoke to people's frustrations, rather than their hopes! While it certainly
is a sad, indeed regrettable, fact that the Dems have ignored their target home
base for decades now, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction,
and the White man in America finally has a movement.

Unfortunately, it's not a movement of which any thinking American would be proud.
As throughout much of US history, we've moved from one horrendous extreme
to the other.

At least learn to ask/beg in Polish!
Poland is not a melting pot, send me your huddled masses type society
like the US, where up until recently any non-English speaking wetback
could almost swim across the Rio Grande into North American waters
and end up picking fruit in Southern California, albeit for slave wages.

You really need to consult the local Consulate in your home country
prior to landing abroad.

No more scattered or unclear than your question, Przelotnyptak1.
You asked about how "pure" I claim the Jews were as compared with
the Catholics and I replied that no group has a monopoly on purity:-)

@My dear Przelotnyptak1,
the Jews only learned to mimic the Church!
After all, it was the mediaeval Catholics who
first practiced the habit (no pun intended) of
"selling" indulgences as an easy pass to heaven,
right? Luther fought against it tooth and nail. To my
knowledge, such a practice was foreign to the Jews.

Church is synonymous here with mosque or synagogue
aka generic religious institutions which rely heavily, if
not exclusively in the past forty years since Reagan,
on financial contributions and favors trading.

Neither group is "whiter then snow".

The operative word here, PolAmKrakow is "responsible"!
If anything is used irresponsibly, eventually it'll lead to a bad end.

In your view, are not those then actually in dire need not somehow entitled to aid from the state
if need be??

Don't forget, the survivalism of Laura & Alonzo Ingalls Wilder fame was born in totally different
times from those in which we are currently living!

Sure, building our own home/business from scratch by the proverbial sweat of our brow is an admirable
goal, as with many an autobiography, often a lot is (purposely) left out of the picture for sheer public
relations purposes.

We Americans long been sold a Protestant-Puritan bill of goods, namely, that seeking help from random
sources, except perhaps from the Church, is beneath our dignity as humans and the self-reliance at any
cost is the only honorable way to go.

While praiseworthy in spirit, such is no longer really practical and frequently asking for help DOES help everyone
concerned. There is no shame in offering help anymore than in praying for a miracle.

Americans are tired of gov't handouts, welfare cheats, out of control Third World migrants and the like, agreed!
The answer is to make a living to above average wage accessible to
all who honestly qualify and things might get easier. Such might level the playing field,
so that not only the inherited wealthy might qualify for decent housing and medical care.

However, this ain't gonna happen in any of our lifetimes, as once again, the
centuries old, inbred corruption of the Catholic Church in particular as well as
the American addiction to cheap labor, along of course with the proverbial race issue,
will deadlock matters here until the end of time.

Bottom line is that the culture has to change in order for true progress finally to
take root. Since this isn't likely to occur, nothing will change perceptibly except
in one's vivid imagination.

@PolAmKrakow,

Even Jews complain constantly about infighting within the religion,
lack of solidarity as compared with amongst African-Americans etc.

American Jews seem to be "connected" as concerns Holocaust survivors
and the ultra-Orthodox communities (from which mega financial
contributions are expected!!!), that is, as regards key or select themes.
As concerns the average Jew, those who slip through the so-called "donut hole",
those among the lower-middle class, those who aren't extremely wealthy etc.,
the Jewish community all but abandons this group, and I'm not even discussing the actions by
the Brooklyn or Monsey slumlords.

Just to be clear, had George Floyd been Jewish, the only movement behind him would have
been a bowel movement, again, he made his bed, now he simply has to lie in it and accept his
"loser" status.

The point is, that African-Americans, compared with certain others,
e.g. Jewish groups, stick together and rally behind their brethren,
even if the brother/sister in question is not always a model citizen,
but someone who's fallen on hard times! Far too often, Caucasian-
Americans take the attittude, "You make your bed, you lie in it!"
African-Americans on the whole know better.

George Floyd might have been placed in hand cuffs as opposed
to a choke hold, therefore allowing for rehabilitation instead
of making him a martyr.

Anyone who disagrees with what is roughly called "the truth"
is a distortionist, I see.

I see in your future a promising career in law, politics or real estateLOL

You mean then he is entitled to lie or distort the truth with impunity, is that it?
@Joker, at least under FDR, you'd have had a bed in which to hear the stories:-)
Ck. out Art Buchwald's "The Republican Twenty-Third Psalm:

Nixon is my shepherd
I shall always want.
He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
He leadeth me beside the still factories,
He restoreth my doubt in the Republican Party.
Yea, poverty and misery shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I shall live in the rented house forever.

Two thousand years ago, Moses said
"Bring your camel, take your shovel, mount your ass
And I shall lead you to the Promised Land!"

Two thousand years later, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed
"Leave your camel, put down your shovel, sit on your ass
This is the Promised Land!"

Nixon will steal your camel, sell your shovel, kick you in the ass
and tell you there is no Promised Land!!

Point is, Kirk was belittling the murder of a black man by a white police officer
who bloody well deserved to have the book thrown at him in spades, no pun intended here.

Furthermore, it's not mature behavior to let drip from one's mouth or pen every little ignorant
thought one has in their head.
