MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa — Beto O’Rourke said Friday that America’s capitalist economy is “racist,” while he praised a proposal to give infants so-called baby bonds to address systemic inequalities. Responding to a question at a meet-and-greet in Iowa about whether he is a socialist, O’Rourke reiterated that “I consider myself a capitalist” and said capitalism is necessary to meet myriad “historic challenges” facing the country. (Snip) On Friday, O’Rourke lamented “the disparity in wealth accumulation between white America and black America” and spoke favorably about a proposal to give infants a “baby bond” of hundreds of thousands of dollars

Democrats destroy the Black family through their welfare policies. Black children grow up without examples of hard working successful people in their plantation neighborhoods. They don´t hold black students to any behavioral or academic standard. Criminal behavior is glorified in black music and culture and celebrated by the leftist Hollywood Entertainment industry. Then they lament that Blacks have achieved success and attained wealth at a lower rate than other races. What is their answer? More of the same.

Poverty is good, right Robert?
All the Democratic candidates are in a battle to see who can appear the most anti-American. Dumb fools don´t even recognize they are disqualifying themselves.

Would be much better if black children had two parents, of the opposite sexes.

So he´s said he is a white capitalist who wants to give black kids a lot of government money? Alexandria-Olivia-Newton-John-Cortez had me confused, but Roberto O´Rourquez is giving her a good run for it.

He´s right, it IS racist when only one race is required to work for a living.

This race for the demonrat socialist party looks like it is all about who can GIVE AWAY the most taxpayer dollars and $$$ we have to borrow to the most PANDERED TO.
Surely, they have some practical ideas that DON´T focus on RACE only or that all the WHITE men who founded the Republic were evil slave owners so their ideas must be somehow discounted.
Europe is ALL SCREWED UP, but we must be like them??

Keep hearing/reading that this guy is charismatic.
If so, the word, along with "emergency", needs to be re-defined.
He´s charismatic?? The situation at the Southern border is not an emergency???

Then, Toothfus, maybe you should demand your daddy-in-law to return his billions of $$$ to the "People."
How about that for a start???

Rich boy who was born on third base, went to prep school back East, rowed crew, went to Ivy League/Columbia, played in a rock band. . . . .suuuuuuure, you phony Hispanic, life in the U.S. has been soooo touch for you.

A racist man of white privilege and probably suffering from toxic masculinity as well. A perfect candidate for the dems.

Yes, Little Robert, hatred has caused violence in the western world.
World Trade Center, Pentagon, Boston marathon, Orlando Night Club,. San bernardino, Fort Hood, Memphis, all acts of hatred encouraged by violent speech.
Do you plan to speak out about those, Little Robert?
And as for your economic redisribution plan, Little Robert, did you know that there are people who do not marry rich girls, but instead invest, produce, make the world a better place? They even make skateboards for creepy kids like you!
And those people build the economy, which is a wonder of the world, while slack-jawed mouth breathing skateboarders, dismally drugged up, are an impediment.
