Black people are too intent on holding on to wrongdoings from the past. Therefore, they keep blaming someone else for their problems.
The list of wrongs done to Black people throughout their history in the U.S. that are still resonating in their lives today is extensive and extremely disturbing. As a result of hundreds of years of subjugation in an oppressive, racist system, Black households have one-tenth the wealth of white households in this country. While the Civil Rights Era enabled African-Americans to make great advances in the past 40 years — achieving high school, college and post-graduate degrees at accelerating rates — the disparities are still enormous and will take many generations to overcome without direct intervention. And by the way, the leveling of the playing field helps white people by enabling previously disadvantaged citizens to contribute to the nation’s economy to the full extent of their potential.
If Blacks weren’t committing so much crime, they wouldn’t get so much attention from police.
The common impulse of whites has always been to blame Blacks for pathologies that whites played a central role in creating. Criminologist Charles Silberman wrote in 1978 that “it would be hard to imagine an environment better calculated to evoke violence than the one in which black Americans have lived.” Pretending Black crime is a Black-created problem is like pretending New Orleans never got hit by a hurricane. Since the epidemic of unarmed Blacks being killed by police comes not when Black crime is high but when it is at its lowest level in generations, this argument that police are in Black communities because of the prevalence of crime appears not to be substantiated by the facts. Homicides committed by African-Americans declined by half between 1991 and 2008....

The Race card has expired. Get rid of your ghetto culture and join Western Civilization.
YOU A BUNCH A RACISS HONKIES.
They require you to click on 4 pages to see the 8 arguments.
No thanks.
Translation: White people’s fault.
“They require you to click on 4 pages to see the 8 arguments.”
I have seen sites that make you click on eleven pages to see eight.
The sentence about white folks blaming blacks for a criminal pathology that whites created is correct.
LBJ was white and he created the Great Society which ripped asunder the black families which had formerly been cohesive, owning small businesses and nurturing their children.
But the Democrats created a subculture of gibsmedats with feral, uneducated youth.
Eight pathetic excuses that can be summed up in one statement — It’s all whitey’s fault.
Why? 'Cause you said so? The story really should be called "8 Arguments on why blacks aren't succeeding and the unsubstantiated bather Liberals respond with"
I love this one, “Blacks being killed by police comes not when Black crime is high but when it is at its lowest level in generations, this argument that police are in Black communities because of the prevalence of crime appears not to be substantiated by the facts. Homicides committed by African-Americans declined by half between 1991 and 2008....”
These improved statistics are directly related to the heightened police presence in their communities which also created the more officer involved shootings.
These people are brain dead. They put this info in the article and don’t see what a silly argument they are making.
“Dont you dare blame me for the $h!t Im doing, that would be racist”
Blacks - as we politically correct folks call them, have long been a part of our normal history (especially during the last 40 years or so). This piece is a PC article that thinks differently. It will get some sympathy from those liberal white folks though, so go get em you racist folks!
witey us pay!
“And by the way, the leveling of the playing field helps white people by enabling previously disadvantaged citizens to contribute......”
What am I missing here?
Sounds like a strange argument to make when the baby-daddies are not likely around much before they get incarcerated.
“Get rid of your ghetto culture.”
Too late,it’s become a lifestyle that they love and embrace.
The useful idiots are the first to be exterminated once the Marxist paradise takes over.
How did I instantly guess that the source of this article would have the word “black” in the title? I must be clairvoyant!!!
The rising tide effect on all serviceable boats.....
