If your landlord can't trust you to pay the rent, how can the people of America trust you to represent them?
I today's world a total lack of morals and ethics has no barring on character and ability to honestly protect the people and the constitution.

    My guess is that she felt she was entitled to free rent because she was in the government.

    Entitled blacks are everywhere now, along with a lot of entitled whites and mexicans too.

    I guess you can take the person out of the ghetto, but not the ghetto out of the personl.

      Please leave the racial designations out of it. That is their game. The "entitled" groups that "are everywhere" consists in the irrational state of mind of irrational individuals, pushed along by race-baiting collectivist leftists like Lawrence, Obama and Clinton.

      Whether or not "you can take the ghetto out of the person" is not determined, it is their choice. The choice to remain ghettoized goes with the choice of individuals to not think for themselves independently. Every individual has the potential to be better than that.

        of course, but in this day and age, there is no time to do individual analytics. Generalizations and profiling are useful tools to save time. The danger is that its NOT 100% accurate and one could mis-characterize some members of the profiled group. But, as long as one isnt going to profile to string people up by the neck or really violate their REAL rights, profiling is pretty efficient these days.

          Racism is not a time saving short cut to thinking. The generalization required to identify certain groups conceptually is not race.

            There are only two racial entities on this planet: Conscious Human Beings, made up of all colors shapes and sizes...and...parasitical humanoids, also made up of all colors shapes and sizes.

            It's hard to tell them apart until they get into government or Jail!

              Every human being is conscious, with the ability for rational thought. Those who choose otherwise are not a "racial entity".

                That's so far from the truth it's funny. see: Julian Jaynes: Brake down of the bicameral mind. It's been more and more excepted and proven to be accurate. Mankind, some of us anyway, started our journey into self introspection about 3000 years ago. Most of the world, to date, has not made that transition. Much of it is due to culture and language.

                  You didn't start anything 3000 years ago. You didn't exist. You were born with the same potential for rational thought as anyone else. However the ability of rationality evolved over time long ago, dismissing "most of the world" as not having made a "transition" to consciousness is ignorant and thoroughly racist.

                    No...our OT biblical ancestors had no conscience, had not the ability to review his own behavior and needed fear of consequence outside himself to keep a lid on it. Everything was the fault of something outside themselves...just like the creatures in present day government.
                    The brain only bicameral mentality could solve problems but could not reason properly and was rarely rational. That didn't start until the Greek civilization, somewhere between the Iliad and the Odyssey.

            Why people I would think I make decisions based on actual race, I dont know. Its the culture that I look at. People with black skin TEND to have the entitled culture, so a large percentage of the time if they have black skin, they will be "entitled". Terrorists are most likely muslim. I can be wrong a percentage of the time, but I will have to live with that.

              People with "black color" do not "tend" to an "entitled culture". That is racist. Every individual has the choice of what he will make of himself or to uncritically absorb whatever culture and ideas are around him. Whatever imagined percentages you have in mind, it is not a "tendency". Your being wrong a "percentage of the time" from reckless race projections is chronic injustice.

                Has nothing to do with "racism" (a politically incorrect view). It has to do with the liklihood of a person of that color having been raised in a culture of entitlement. Its not a matter of injustice at all.
                If I wish to base MY actions on generalizations (which by the way we do all the time), that is really my business. If I violate their human rights to property or their lives, I would say that is bad. But I dont do that. If I choose to trade or not trade with someone- thats not an issue of rights or injustice.
                We all make generalizations and act on those- examples would be in deciding not to buy a particular brand of washing machine because you have had bad experiences with that brand before. This particular new model MAY be perfectly fine NOW, but I may choose not to take the chance right now.

                Going into a black neighborhood is more likely to expose you to violence and drugs than driving through an affluent white neighborhood. So you drive around the black neighborhood, particularly at night. Whats wrong with that ?

                It might be an OK neighborhood in fact, but why take the chance if you dont have to?

                  What socio-economic neighborhoods you risk going into has nothing to do with racist language about "tendencies" and "entitlement" as inherent belief. If you look at a run-down neighborhood with punks lounging around looking for trouble that is why we stay away, not because of race.

                  Injustice pertains to all judgment and treatment of people; it is not restricted to forcibly violating people's rights. Denouncing racism and racist attitudes as the crudest form of collectivism is not a matter of "political correctness".

                    But when I look at a primarily black neighborhood I see mostly the predominant entitled black culture. I say mostly because it's not a 100% certainty by any means. It's not their race that I am responding to. It's their culture. And I don't owe anyone more than to respect their human rights. Anything else is my choice, as it is others' prerogative to react to me any way they want

                      When you look at black neighborhoods and associate them with entitled black culture you are responding to race. There is no such thing as black culture just as there is no such thing as white culture.

                      You can choose to deal with anyone you want, as a racist or not, but what you "owe" people in respecting their rights alone does not make every other reaction rational. Justice is a basic virtue of the Objectivist ethics, and neither justice nor ethics are restricted to only what you use force for, contrary to a-philosophical libertarian 'up yours' defiance.

                      Rationality, ethics and individualism are fundamentally individual and personal, not political. Practicing a right to be peacefully racist is still racist and as such morally abhorrent right down to the roots of the racist's own thought processes. Anyone can and should stay out of dangerous-looking neighborhoods and denounce the entitlement mentality. That does not entail racist slurs and package deals rationalized by statistics.

                        The charge of "racism" is overblown. I could care less about which race a person is from- thats just dna. The charge is used as a politically correct way of controlling people, but believe me, it goes nowhere with me. I dont think that a particular race is somehow different in a basic human way at all. But when a person is born into a particular culture and steeped in its values, most people never escape from that indoctrination without serious thinnking. And the number who seriously think and change their understanding of life isnt very large. Therefore, I maintain that the majority of black people, or asian people, jewish people, etc exhibit pretty much the cultural traits that they were raised into. Therefore, although not 100% accurate as a gauge to evaluate people, it does have a fairly high percentage accuracy. If I miss out on good people , its my loss. If I wind up hurting someones feellings, I would apologize to them without hesitation. Thats why I just stay away from cultures I do not feel comfortable around.

                          You repeatedly equate culture with race. Racism is irrational and unjust, and is not excused by statistics. Rejecting racism is not a matter of "political correctness" or "hurting feelings". If you don't intend to be racist then watch your language.

                            Its not racism. I am just pointing out the culture has has quick and easy earmarks which are accurate to some percentage. One of them is neighborhoods and the obvious signs of the people who live in them. A large percentage of people with black skin happen to live in undesirable neighborhoods for a variety of reasons where there is a lot of crime, drugs, etc. In LA, there are asian neighborhoods that are infested with asian gangs. There is nothing wrong with making a generalization as long as one realizes that generalizing is only accurate some percentage of the time. We do this all the time with many things including purchases. Look at the people who stopped going to Chipotle altogether after their virus episode. They generalized that all chipotle food could be infected, but the consequences of an actual infection were so great as to justify the generalization for a time.

                              "We" do not think in racist, collectivist terms "all the time", whether or not rationalized by statistical "quick and easy earmarks". That is not conceptual, principled thinking. Your language is full of racism

                                You can call me what you want. I know how I decide on things and it has nothing to do with "race" Racism is an emotional term used to day to control peoples behavior.

                              Racism is very real. As the crudest form of collectivism it is morally despicable. Read Ayn Rand's essay "Racism" in her The Virtue of Selfishness and stop smearing people as "just playing into false narratives". This is an Ayn Rand forum for her philosophy of reason and individualism, not a repository for racist cargo cult science.

                                There is no such thing as a different race of conscious human being...we all comprise 1 of the 4 bloodtypes, same features and as far as skin color...the chemical that determines skin color could fit on the head of a pin with room left over...kind of dumb to base that as a significant difference.
                                A great possible example of a different race of a conscious being would be perhaps, human versus dolphin- however, it's never been proven that dolphins have the ability to introspect. (awareness of one's own awareness)

                                  Obviously there are different inherited physical characteristics which can be classified, including simple skin color. They are irrelevant for judging character and ideas, and may or may not be relevant for things like medicine. The resulting significance has nothing to do with how small blood cells and genes are, so please stop prattling about others as being "dumb" for recognizing obvious effects that you don't. That includes the choice of some to be ugly racists based on observable but contextually irrelevant features.

      She's the former mayor of Southfield, also known as North Detroit. Ghetto.
      You're right about entitled blacks. I was born and raised in the Brightmoor section of Detroit. It was a ghetto in the seventies, and still is today.
      And the attitudes haven't changed a bit. Basically they think they're owed everything, because of what may or may not have happened to their ancestors, and it was open season on the few whites around, because of what our ancestors may or may not have done.

        Whatever anyone's ancestors did is completely irrelevant. Of course they lack any semblance of objectivity and individual judgment, but "what may or may not" have been done to or by anyone's ancestors is secondary. Your ancestors might have been the worst kind of Klansmen but it if so it is still irrelevant to what you are. The whole notion of judging people by what their ancestors did or are imagined to have done is itself racist, as is imagining that anyone of any race must have been and done whatever the racist imagines. The "open season on the few whites" you describe is nothing but race war.

    What makes her issue even more egregious is she gets paid $176,000.00/year, Plus totally free gold plated healthcare.

    And of course what race is this looting democrat...that makes it even worse since she is giving Blacks a really bad name.

    That landlord should have been pleased as punch over income lost that would have allowed Brenda to live free for entitled in that apartment indefinitely.
    You see, the Civil War's 618,000-to-700,000 lives lost (not to mention all the "hit by a bullet? chop 'em off" limb amputations without anesthetic) ain't hardly enough to pay slave reparations to born free descendants 150 years later.
    So what's wrong with you peeps? Pay room and board to the indoctrinated still down on the plantation homies for being born not free but black.

    Would remembering the Bible statement have made any difference. It says nothing about following the advice making any difference in giving the congresswoman something bigger to do than her finances. Honesty and integrity have nothing to do with The Bible. They are individual choices that one makes whether influenced or not. She apparently has neither.

    How drunk is she? Oh, she's a politician...we'll start with 25% odds of alcoholism, which drives egomania, which drives a "rules don't apply to me" attitude. Then act on that and don't pay your rent? It's not just booze.

    Nonsense. You are just spouting establishment politically correct control language. Culture is culture and race is race. Whatever differences there are in people because of race are just there- whatever they are. For sure there are some obvious physical differences, but I don't see any that affect the persons inherent status as a human being. Beyond that, there are substantial effects of having been exposed to cultural issues at an early age that can be changed as one grows up and thinks about them, but often are not. Hence profiling and generalizations based on culture are not evil at all so long as one recognizes that early exposure to cultural beliefs is not a guarantee that an individual continues to hold those beliefs.

    Why don't we just concentrate on behavior and content of character...that's fair game. Forget the false notion of "race" and figure out what causes a human being to reject conscience and consciousness itself, reject one's ability to produce or create value instead of usurping value from others.
    At least at that point we might be able to make sure that they never end up in government...like hiltery, obobo, reid, nancy or shultz.

    Perhaps the reason we find minorities with these problems is a progressive intention or misconception to put these people in this position.
    As we all have noticed: Leftist, liberals, progressives and some southerners have become what they think about most of the time...seems to me that they are covering for their own hubris in thinking they are better than others...just maybe they are unaware of that little voice that speaks for their subconscious. Maybe they have no voice or have chosen not to listen, chosen not to respond differently and account for their own flawed characters; in which case would mean they are not conscious beings at all.

      We don't just forget about race when there are racists. But no one "rejects consciousness". If you want to see why and how people reject rationality and individualism, including through racism, read Ayn Rand's non-fiction essays, in this context especially, on "Racism" and "Global Balkanization".

        Ayn Rand could not have been aware of recent realizations about consciousness, the mind and resulting behavior. The entire concept, like many things we Thought were true, turned out not to be.

        Actually, some people do reject the acts of conscience or are unable to become conscious. We see this with much of the world, especially islam, it's the lack of concepts in their language and their mysticism, politics and laws that prevents them from becoming consciously introspective and able to control their own behavior.
        My observations of many politicians of the left tells me that they are not aware of their own behavior nor the consequences of their actions.
