    I jam the Regressive Left for lack of honesty but they have been clear that the Liberals are going to have to go, that shit will not be tolerated.

    Then, in January, the heirs to Bruce’s Beach announced that they were selling the land back to Los Angeles County for $20 million.

    The Bruces’ decision to sell has stirred fresh debate about the goals and methods of reparations, just as those efforts have been gaining traction at universities and local governments.

    Activists who had helped the Bruces secure the land, and other observers, were disappointed that the family decided not to hold onto it and try to reclaim the vision of their ancestors.

    “Say it ain’t so,” Tavis Smiley said on his radio show. “It was the quintessential example, to my mind, at least, of how reparations should work. And many of us were heartened by this rare public example of government doing right by Black folk.”

    Agreed it’s never too late, but sad that it happened in the first place.

    I’ve heard about this legal fight a couple of years ago and am glad the Bruce family’s rights were restored.

And it would have to be massive, the Revolution has taken all of the power centers.....this is all but over already.
    I have believed for a very long time,...maybe even longer than you, that the current America is beyond saving. Try and try as we may,...it cannot be done. Notice I said CURRENT america. IMO there is only one way this country can be saved from itself. It needs to utterly crash into absolute despair and ruin. Only then will people WAKE UP and see what they once had but CHOSE to slowly destroy over time. Sometimes a walk through utter darkness is what is needed to get back to the light. Right now all we are doing is strapping this thing together with cheap duck tape and crazy glue,.....that is NOT how you fix a problem. Like a house that has been allowed by its piss poor owners to slowing degenerate into a mold infested shack our house needs to be allowed to collapse and bulldozed in so it can be rebuilt again to what it once was.

    They then proceeded to create businesses to serve the people who came to Bruce beach


    They became quite wealthy for a black family of the time


    Until the racist community stole the land from them


    Their plan of passing down this property and wealth down to their children and grand children was stolen from them

    Their home on the beachfront was stolen from them


    The current community decided they didn’t want this evil action to define their beautiful city


    They recently deeded the land back to the family mr Bruce had planned to leave it to


    His brilliant property purchase and business idea wasn’t completely thwarted by evil racists


    His family is now very wealthy


    I do wish the Bruce’s were able to enjoy this land like decency and fairness would demand


    But at least some people wanted to be decent


    It’s never too late to do the right thing
    So a supposedly systemically racist country allowed them to get trich but then stole it from them?

    If it's never too late to do the right thing spit out all that leftist cum you have in your mouth

    As pessimistic as I have been I have not been pessimistic enough, "as bad as you think it is it is actually worse" applies here. This caused my one big mistake, I and my wife were very free range parents, we gave our kids as much freedom as they could handle as early as we could, which is how we were raised. I did not want to manage their childhood unless it was required for their safety, I did not want to mold them, I wanted them to experience and learn and sometimes fall down then learn how not to fall down. For instance we refused to do most of the school things parents were expected to do then (schools claimed that it was for the benefit of the kids education but now I think that the whole idea was to keep an eye on the parents). I rarely tried to guide them on what they should think, I wanted them to flower into themselves (a very Zen thing).

    Had I known that they were being so indoctrinated into a illiberal neo-marxist cult I would have not done that.

    Economically we are toast...we needed to launch reforms by the late 80's.....70's would have been better. A very hard crash was certain when even the Great Recession failed to wake us up.

    "We can fix it after we crash and people finally wake up" wont work those who have almost finished enslaving the masses will not let it work, and they have amazing tech tools now to keep the people insane and obeying.

    This dark age will likely last hundreds of years.

    I would hate to go through life seeing more bad than good in the world. It would be very depressing to be some of you people. I hope your lives improve. I still see more good than bad, more joy than sorrow and more productivity than destruction. I see the glass as full.

    Seeing what is rather than what you want things to be was always the best plan.

    Then the masses will have to rise up and destroy them. My only fear there is that they have been waiting for the Boomers to die off so it will be MUCH easier for them. I was born in 64,....the last of the Boomers. In my life experience the younger the age group the softer they are when it comes to males. Sure there are exceptions,...but as a general rule many are softer than a babys ass. I believe this to be absolutely TRUE because I have seen it many times first hand. There are many "men", and I use that term liberally, that would stand there and cower as their own family members are being attacked where as a lot of guys in my age group would beat the attacker half to death with their own bare hands. I know I sure would. The youngers have so much less testosterone in them then our age group that its frightening. Truthfully,....a lot of them are quite feminine. Wimps, total wimps. There is an old saying that is very true that I not only believe to be true but have tried to live by on BOTH ends that goes like this......." Never mess with another mans money, or his woman, or his ego,....or the man WILL MESS WITH YOU" Not so anymore,.......now you can do anything you want to to the youngers and they are more than likely to curl up in a ball and cry.

    I was recently watching The Little Foxes from 1941 where a schemer looking out for #1 gives a talk to others to the effect "Go for it, the good guys wont fight, you can get away with it!". I have long watched movies as a dig into where America and the West went bad so I paid attention. What you talk about goes back at least that far. Already by 1941 WW1 and the Great Depression had beaten the fight out of a lot of men. We regrouped to get WW2 won, and then that generation collapsed morally. Because "The greatest generation" won WW2 almost no one ever sees it but the Boomers were not the start of the problem, their parents were.

    I am glad equating violence to being a “man” is going extinct, though I truly doubt this the case.

    It takes a bigger man to walk away from a fight than to engage.

    You must not have read my post. I talked about a family member being attacked. So you would prefer a man that would just cower and walk away out of fear as you were being attacked? Highly doubtful.
