Forget the Mule, $48 Billion Sounds much Nicer!

Black Run America (BRA) is on the precipice of finally introducing a line of credit for Black people without a limit.
$48 Billion to stimulate inner-city spending!

After successfully passing legislation awarding more than $1 billion to imaginary Black farmers, those elected to represent their constituents are mulling over passing a bill to award a stunning $48 billion to be redistributed in inner cities:

Rep. Cleaver has proposed a $48 billion earmark.

When absurdity gives way to hilarity, you must be talking about politics. 

In the midst of a colossal global concern for the economic stability of our great nation, Emanuel Cleaver, Missouri's 5th Congressional District representative, has one small earmark on his wish list that deserves some attention. 

Cleaver has listed a new earmark -- one of several -- and he promises to "fight for every one." But this is a whopping $48 billion package that must go down as the grandaddy of all earmarks. 

Proposed by a gentleman named Lamar Mickens, president of the not-for-profit Quality Day Campus, the $48 billion earmark would funnel money into the inner cities to give money to the poor and thereby produce a much larger consumer class to buy the goods and services produced in this country. 

Just call this redistribution on steroids. 
Cleaver's office says this of the proposal:
"The Epicenter is a proposed estimated $48 billion (Phase One) mass scale urban reclamation project for combating, reducing, reversing and/or eliminating poverty within under served communities by utilizing mass scale economic redevelopment to bring about stability and self reliance."
OK. So the idea is short of specifics.
Currently Mickens operates this massive proposal out of his home but with Cleaver's help, this earmark could put him on the road to success.


Cleaver provides a link to a Mickens "manifesto" where a lengthy agenda is outlined -- but again with no specifics other than the rich should provide money to the poor so that the poor will have more money to spend.
This earmark would go to help Black people, that economically disadvantaged group who suffer from income inequality and high rates of unemployment; Reparations by any other name.

It has been calculated that cumulative Black buying power in the United States is around $913 billion, meaning that the $48 billion earmark would represent 5 percent of Black peoples combined monetary clout.

We at SBPDL find the purported estimate of Black buying power specious and will report more on that at a later date.

With Foot Locker on the verge of going out of business, the increased buying power of inner-city dwelling Black people could save the struggling store. How many other industries would benefit from this redistribution of wealth? One Dave Chappelle famously (or infamously) parodied what would happen if Black people ever received reparations:
[breaking news report following the distribution of slavery reparations]
News Reporter: So, what do you plan to spend your money on.
Tron: [In fake, quivering voice] I'm going to re-invest it in the community.
News Reporter: Well, that's...
[cut off]
Tron: Psyche. I'm gonna spend it before y'all honkies change yo minds.
In that episode, we also see:
Tron becomes the world’s richest man, along with stock rising in fried chicken and KFC merging with Fubu. Note - this is the first time we hear Donnell Rawlings yell, "I'M RICH BIATCH!"
That Mr. Cleaver’s $48 billion earmark hasn’t been laughed out of the halls of Congress yet illustrates the power of BRA. One can only wonder at the potential lengths of the lines that will develop if the bill passes. Will we see a repeat of the fiasco in Atlanta, when 30,000 Black people lined up to get on a waiting list for Section-8 housing?

Perhaps a rumor could be started in major city that the bill has already passed, as when 50,000 Black people lined up in Detroit for stimulus checks that were non-existent.

At a time when the money is running out, Congress can be looked upon to dramatically boost the buying power of Black people. Remember, in entitlement America the head of a household of four making minimum wage has more disposable income than a family making $60,000 a year.

With single Black mothers having a median net worth of just $5 (consider that 72 percent of Black babies are now born out-of-wedlock) one can only imagine how this $48 billion could significantly improve the state of inner-cities. After all, quadrillions have been spent trying to improve the inner-city schools that have turned out the intellectual titans who comprise the populations of these major cities.

Basically, it is time for the government to issue the 36 million Black people (12 percent of the US population) a Black card. No need for food stamps anymore, as this card will serve as a credit card (with no limit). Black students who get free lunches at school can use their card freely to engorge themselves more than they already do.

Black Friday would be everyday, thanks to the advent Black card. The stigma of the welfare queen would be gone forever. Child support could be paid.

One can only marvel at the direction the United States is heading.

On the Brink in Atlanta: What happens when the money runs out?

One shouldn't poke fun at the unfortunate, the circumstances of their misfortune unknown to you. However in the case of Atlanta's coddled underclass, the misfortune is easily identifiable: a combination of reliance on Disingenuous White Liberal (DWL) handouts, Christian charity and federal/state reliance and a string of poor choices that this underclass will never, ever feel accountable for making.

No more money: white liberals know what is coming
Earlier this year, 30,000 Black people lined up for the opportunity to sign up for Section 8 housing assistance (though the number of homes available was less than 700 over a 10 year time span). Now hundreds of Black people have lined up for federal assistance in paying their heat and power bills:
Despite the freezing temperatures, hundreds fought for a place in line in Marietta to apply for federal aid to help pay their heat and power bills this winter.   Only 30 people were being let in at a time at the assistance center in Marietta.  

"It was freezing," applicant Linda Benefield told WSB-TV. "I was in line for three hours and 15 minutes, but I needed the help."

Some needed even more help just to deal with the cold. Ambulances were cold in and took at least two people to the hospital because of the freezing temperatures.


"People just couldn't stand the cold," said applicant Deandre Marshall. "They were not letting people in fast enough."

Marshall said people in line were crying, afraid they would not even get a chance to apply.

"I never thought I would be in the line," Marshall said. "It's almost like being in a soup line during the great depression."

The money is offered through a network of agencies in Georgia.
All over Atlanta, Black people lined up for help receiving Federal assistance or non-profit charity to pay their bills or receive diapers. The altruism on display from private charities is heartwarming, but the alarming sense of entitlement apparent among the aid-seekers should shock even the most hardened DWL:
 A day after hundreds of people queued up outside a Marietta community center to apply for assistance with heat and power bills, hopeful applicants began lining up again around midnight, waiting in the sub-freezing temperatures for the doors to open Thursday morning.
This time, however, officials let those in line come into the Mansour Center on Roswell Street an hour early at 7:30 and get relief from temperatures that dropped to 27 degrees.

“We’re freezing,” said Lecher Eady, a Marietta mother who arrived at midnight seeking help with her bills. “Our hands are cold, our feet are cold.”

In DeKalb County, Atlanta police were called to the Atlanta DeKalb Human Services Building on Warren Street Wednesday morning after "loud arguing" broke out among a large crowd gathered to apply for energy assistance, according to police dispatchers.

Lakesha Charles, who has been out of work for two years, was number 16 in the Marietta line Thursday, which, she said, is “better than number 100.”

The mother of six said she “heard it was ridiculous” on Wednesday, when only 30 people at a time were let into the assistance center.“Hopefully, we can get in and get help,” she said.

“I saw it on the news and decided to come up here because I really need the help,” Kamara said. “You’ve got to stand in line, because it’s not going to come to you.”
This is a sad situation. Black people face unemployment at a much higher rate then other racial groups (funny, Atlanta home builders relied on illegal alien laborers for the unprecedented home building that erupted throughout the suburbs as white people escaped further and further away from the inner-city and its Black-centric problems) and scant few opportunities appear on the horizon.

This mentality is highly prevalent among Black people

The entire purpose of the agencies that grant aid to those in financial trouble is to make them "self-sufficient" though this is the opposite of what is transpiring:
"The Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority (FACAA) supports the current Presidential Administration's approach to accountability. We join him in executing a stimulus program that helps people to get back on their feet but more importantly that teaches people how to remain self-sufficient in troubled times."
Not all Black people in the United States of America (or Atlanta) rely on public assistance, charity, entitlements or government programs to subsist, though an increasing majority of them do. The out-of-wedlock birthrate for Black people shows that in the near future the dwindling super power known as the USA is on an unavoidable collision course with the destruction of welfare state, as more and more Black people will become dependent on the altruism of others to live.

The country is disintegrating before our eyes. Again, no one is excited by seeing hordes of unemployable Black people line up for free housing assistance or aid for their power/heat bills. A continued decision to reject nature will only ensure that she returns with a frightening vengeance when the money runs out. 

Perhaps this is why DWL and Stuff White People Like (SWPL) white people live in areas with near zero Black people, because they instinctively understand that the system cannot hold. Their money is best invested in helping from a considerable distance, instead of living among a population that will rebel once the assistance can no longer be provided.

It's ending. Atlanta is not a safe place, nor is any major city with a population dependent on Christian groups for charity/food or Federal assistance for housing/gas/jobs/heat/etc. Criminality is synonymous with Black people in these cities and once the money runs out, civilization is instantaneously gone.

We are on a road to nowhere, and nowhere is approaching at a velocity that picks up daily. We take no pride in writing about Black people's problems in Atlanta, but these problems are but a microcosm of the ills that plague every city in the country.

Personal responsibility is not a problem for Black people, as the Federal government will always be there to provide assistance to the universally oppressed. That money (and white guilt) is running out. 

What's going on in your cities?
