The Baltimore Sun: The Black Dilemma

[Drake1]

Oddly enough ; picked this up off Yahoo News.

When a very liberal news paper, in a very liberal black city , in the US ,actually allows one of their own to get this Real (honest); things are starting to get interesting.

"The Baltimore Sun" is definitely not known as a
Conservative newspaper, so this very well written
assessment of the situation in the USA comes as
something of a surprise.



The Black Dilemma

"For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting
an interesting experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black
people and working-class whites.

The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people taken from the jungles
of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a
majority white population?

The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a
majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with
no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.
Acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government
released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them
as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.

Decade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters
never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula
the experiment would work, and concocted program after program
to get the result they wanted. They created the Freedmans Bureau,
passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War
on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and
tried midnight basketball.

Their new laws intruded into peoples lives in ways that would
have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard
troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of
association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children
on buses and sent them to black schools and vice-versa. They tried
with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand
wringing to close the achievement gap. To keep white backlash in
check they began punishing public and even private statements on
race. They hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded
whites to Celebrate Diversity! and Say No to Racism. Nothing was
off limits if it might salvage the experiment.

Some thought that what W.E.B. DuBois called the Talented Tenth
would lead the way for black people. A group of elite, educated
blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the
world what blacks were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth.
They are the black Americans who have become entrepreneurs,
lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough.
For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed
by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and
promote social stability. That is what is missing.

Through the years, too many black people continue to show an
inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.
Detroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and
the vast majority of black cities all over America are beset by
degeneracy and violence. And blacks never take responsibility
for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment.

Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen
in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson,
rioting and looting are just one racial incident away. The white elite
would tell us that this doesn't mean the experiment has failed. We
just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more
understanding, more programs, and more opportunities.

But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter
how many laws are passed, no matter how many black geniuses are
portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president. Some argue its a
problem of culture, as if culture creates peoples behavior instead of
the other way around. Others blame white privilege.

But since 1965, when the elites opened Americas doors to the
Third World, immigrants from Asia and India people who are not white,
not rich, and not connected have quietly succeeded. While the children
of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the
SAT, black youths are committing half the country's violent crime, which
includes viciously punching random white people on the street for
the thrill of it that has nothing to do with poverty.

The experiment has failed. Not because of white culture, or white
privilege, or white racism. The fundamental problem is that American
black culture has evolved into an un-fixable and crime ridden mess.
*They do not want to change their culture or society, and expect
others to tolerate their violence and amoral behavior. They have
become socially incompatible with other races by their own design,
not because of the racism of others - but by their own hatred of
non-blacks.*

Our leaders don't seem to understand just how tired their white
subjects are with this experiment. *They don't understand that
white people aren't out to get black people; they are just exhausted
with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence,
the endless complaints, and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless
pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity. The
elites explain everything with racism, and refuse to believe that white
frustration could soon reach the boiling point."---

"You can't legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy
out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another
person must work for without receiving. The government can't give to
anybody anything that the government doesn't first take from
somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they don't
have to work because the other half is going to take care of them,
and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work
because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my
dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
