     Die Hippie, Die and Alohaguy,
     Thanks. That excerpt is from his book entitled - Economic Facts and Fallacies. Great read. I highly recommend it.

     It’s not you. As an aside, I thought that he was to be referred to as “Lee Harvey”.
     I’m also partial to “Shrinking Violet.” No matter, his irrelevance is compounded with every post.

     There are two things at play here.
     One is TOO MUCH government!
     Second is the need far too many Blacks vseem to feel to scream racism at every turn.

     Comparing “can’t cook BBQ” to the horrors & tragedy of slavery is an unspeakable insult to those actually injured by slavery.
     When, O WHEN will the race-baiters be held accountable for the harm they’re doing??

     Purplepeep, no, they aren’t. no bathroom, no seating area, (unless you count some plastic tables and lawn chairs sitting out on the ground next to the truck which itself is sitting up on cinderblocks.)

     Thanks for that info, Rorschach. Never heard of “Taco trucks” before. Sounds like there’s a lotta laws that should apply there.

     Don’t tell them about a bbq restaurant that used to operate in Arlington, Texas, in the late 1960’s - I believe. The restaurant was operated by a black man and was named, and I kid you not, “Big N*****’s Barbecue” !

     Did anyone notice that Hillary still has a mortgage on her NY home?

     $100 million made in the past ten years and she still has a mortgage?

     I’m a bit conflicted on this one. It’s hyperbolic to refer to this as “slavery” and is actually insulting to those affected by actual modern day slavery. But why is the government involved at all in limiting the distribution of free food.

     Reminds me of the local health department shutting down kids selling hot dogs during garage sales in my neighborhood. A government out of control.

     Oh, I agree. If people are congregating on their own and eating food prepared by members of the group, I can’t see where the government has any role.

     But when they equate the lack of free BBQ to slavery, they lose me.

     It’s just you. Others here agree with me. For example:

     Crying “racism” and “slavery” only make the grievance-mongers look stupid, which takes away from the real enemy here….idiot bureaucrats.

     It sure isn’t “slavery” or “racism,” but it is another example of Nanny-State Liberalism overwhelming common sense and destroying another community tradition.

     If I can not smoke outdoors in some places due to health concerns then you can not have your BBQ made at someones house for the same reason. This is only going to get worse, especially if we get uni health care. It is really silly, but not racism.

     These people are a disgrace to the memory of those who truly suffered as slaves. Shame on Council President Jo Ann Davenport-Littleton. Shame.

     I can completely understand wanting to cry out as this appears to be nanny state intervention at its greatest. HOWEVER claiming to be a modern day slave because of this petty grievance is an insult to the grave injustices that those over a hundred years ago suffered.

     Yeah, but did you hear, all that non-talk about Obama helping her to pay off her debts looks to be real, so maybe he will toss in a house while he is at it? If she gets her 12 million back, any bets whether she pays it off or not? Then again, the last I heard the secret service protection they were receiving lived in a small house in back and paid (surprise surprise) the same amount as the house mortgage for their rent.

     Slavery ended in the USA over one hundred years ago. It still occurs in many parts of the world to this day. However, since it does not fit the victim agenda domestically, it is relatively scarce in the news.

     They never will cause as soon as you try they scream you are racist. That is their excuse for laziness, failure, drugs, crime, killings, and fatherless childern. BLAME WHITEY… I have served with many fine men and women who where black and you would never hear them use race as a crutch. I will say it again. Entitlements caused all this cause people are told they can not do without entitlements or they will never get ahead and be able to compete. End entitlements and watch how things change. People would learn that they have to do or they starve. Funny how not having food and clothes or money to buy things will make you take jobs and get an education .

     Things that make you go hhmmmmmm

     I can understand the need to at least keep track of things in regards to just randomly feeding people.

     If i’m reading this right, this wouldnt be any different than a church potluck, with people bringing things from home for others to eat? I could be wrong.

     And no, lgm is only being conherant within the context that he’s the only one actually thinking he’s on target. He points out someone else agrees with him when they dont.

     Of course, thats liberal logic for ya.

     How do you know when a black American is lying? The constant barrage of false claims of racism make it difficult. Would the KKK really try to keep a gathering of black Americans from getting food poisoning?

     Correct me if I’m wrong, but the genesis of that law goes back to the mid to late 80s when churches used to hand out sandwiches/food to the poor and homeless.

     One such church used to do it at the Ft Worth water fountains across the street from the Greyhound bus station.

     Of course, the atheist/race-baiting politicos that brought this about claimed it was all about hygiene.

     But the truth was that the gubmint wanted to corner the taking care of the poor market, especially lest some poor soul gets exposed to the Man that fed crowds of thousands.

     If it truly is about hygiene, why didn’t they pass a law mandating that all garbage from restaurants be locked up tighter than Ft. Knox? Instead, health officials are worried that someone might get a case of food poisoning from a egg-sandwich prepared by the little old Baptist ladies.

     The black community didn’t stand up then, in fact some applauded that “whitey” churches were stopped from poaching their folks. Now it comes full circle and nails Juneteenth.

     What goes around, comes around.
