The Black Dilemma ... Thx Paul C!

The Black Dilemma

 

---

 =========================================================

“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."
