That guy is on the Sprint payroll now. ;)

Jesus Christ. Gingrich appears with white-hating radical communist Van Jones, and capitulated to Jones' positions.
I guess he would be the PERFECT running mate to Trump.

Gingrich is a has been that doesn't know when to stop. He is yesterday's news.
Is it a flee elation that white people dont undetsand what it "means to be black"? Of course they don't, they are white. They will never know.
The main question I ask is why there is even a black experience anymore. Didn't we go through all this in the 60s, integrate schools, etc so that our children would have a single experience? So how come there is a toxic black culture that black people complain about?
Education is the issue. But education is a team between teachers, students and parents and I still want to know what it is that makes so many black children fail at education. How is it acceptable in any way to have a 50% drop out rate?
It is time for the black community to quit blaming others and accept that some members of their community are setting a bad example. We went through civil rights to make sure they have the same opportunities, even more opportunities and they simultaneously fail at school and complain that opportunities aren't there. No kidding, they aren't there for the white kids that drop out either. I know what pattern I see in that.

Heaven forbid we have the last Speaker to have balanced the budget and brought us welfare reform have anything to do with out government. ::)

Dare you to raise your hand.

Would white America like to be treated how black America is treated in this country
Of course not. White America would do something about it. Some would turn violent, but most would rise to the occasion, get a job, get an education, and get ahead in spite of the obstacles".
(now that IS racist; isn't it).
but true.

You mean rise to accept Government hand-outs? Go look up what happened to what was known as the Freedmen's Bureau. Go find out about how the Federal Land grant programs worked and how Blacks were cut off from getting them.
These same descendants of land grants are the very people that yell at Black people to pull ourselves up "by our own bootstraps" when they had a hand-up and an opportunity in progress.

Treated by who? If other white people were harping on me, calling me a house cracker for getting good grades, telling me I wasn't acting white for not doing drugs, asking me if I was denying my race by wanting to associate with successful black people...
You see, I wouldn't be treated that way. I'd have done everything I could to excel because that's what my upbringing is. I would be taking every advantage of affirmative action to get promoted ahead of people of other races because the companies needed me to be there, so they can prove that they they don't have racist systems.
Then I would turn around and dare the white kids in school today to beat me - to excel and do it better than I did. I would be condemning violence, condemning drugs, condemning slovenly work. You wouldn't be able to do it because no white people would listen to you. I would be supporting harsh sentences for multiple repeaters and be more concerned with weeding out the rotten apples than with trying to be "fair" to them. If you are a person set on a life of crime then I want you to be an example to all the kids, to show how to waste your life by following that path.
Would I want to be treated that way? No, nobody does. There are paths out of it, so why aren't they taken? What is it about the toxic black culture that causes kids to reject the very things that will make them successful? BTW, little secret - I don't have it made because I'm white. I made it because I've worked at it.
And what do you expect me to do about it when nobody is going to listen to the "rich" cracker pilot?

You know I find it funny how you're trying to read me the riot act when we're likely in similar economic brackets.
I worked hard and I had to dodge a lot of bullets (figuratively). I'm a product of a single mother, my parents split up with I was about 5. My mom did the best she could and sent my through 4yrs private schooling because she saw what the Public school does to young black boys. After matriculating from my private school I then attended Public school in inner city DC.
I keep in touch with a few of my former classmates, some who haven't faired as well others better or same. I see the pitfalls and traps. I know what the system is designed to do. But I also see that it is enforced more stringently on some than others; my margin of error is much smaller. Good luck trying to convince me that you're more industrious; I'm in a very small elite class in my professional life that's dominated by white men and many of them are as smart as a box of rocks.
Oh yeah, and I'm a pilot too. And I do a few other things that I don't speak much about here.

You've posted this video before and it didn't gain traction then, and it still isn't now. The premise is flawed.

You don't like nor want government hand outs? I take it you'll be voting Republican then?

Why won't more blacks follow your example? What secret did you and your mother possess that others don't seem to have or understand?

unfortunately, few areas of life are not riddled with people that are as smart as a box of rocks.
