There are plenty of white people who were born with no wealth ....and who had to struggle finding alternate paths to success when racist quotas were imposed against their admission to colleges or programs of study ... or in governmental or corporate hiring decisions). Meanwhile, it was black people who got selected, even when far less qualified.

Sorry, but the “blacks are victims” dog won’t hunt anymore.
Get into gear and make something for yourself, just like everyone else does.

My Daddy used military service during World War II to get off an impoverished reservation, get a good education through the G.I. Bill, marry the woman of his dreams and become a veterinarian, providing for a large family in which not a single one of us grew up to be bed wetting, society teat sucking liberals.

His people were hunted down, harassed, driven off their land, forced to relocate and sometimes even killed for crimes they didn't commit and, more often than not, their tribe didn't commit either.

And yet, when the United States needed volunteers to fight foreign enemies, they enrolled in per capita numbers even higher than the next best group-- white guys in impoverished areas of the South.

Every whiny-a$$ed excuse in this article could apply to my Daddy and his people at least double . . . or more. And yet, somehow, I never saw him play the race card even once when I was growing up.

His tactic seems to be just create an analogy and then dismiss the analogy. Always presuming his analogy fits. Horrible horrible logic.

“Yep I’m I cracker, my uncle was doing an ancestry thing about 40 years ago, when he found out we were brought here as slaves that ended his search LOL.”

When I subscribed to ancestry.com my dad was highly upset. He was afraid of some sort of “undesirable” family history. While what I’ve found has certainly been interesting, as far as I can tell we’ve always been crackers of one kind or another.

The author of this piece needs to invest in a mirror to see what is wrong with his community.

This is the kind of garbage that excuses bad behavior, failure in schools, bad parenting and everything else that destroys a huge percentage of our nation, condemning too many people to a terrible existence.

I’m tired of learning about some terrible murder only to find out it was committed by some 19 year old multiple felon who avoided prison because a liberal judge wanted to keep him from being another young black man put behind bars for a minor crime - in this case, carjacking. So, the life of an elderly, legal immigrant working third shift to support his family is worth less than that of a proven criminal.

...and I’ve seen this happen twice in my little community in the past three years.

African and black Caribbean immigrants don’t seem to feel oppressed.

We are into our third generation of direct intervention now and the only results I have seen is more turmoil and dependency upon the government by a very large segment of the Black population..................... so the obvious solution is the embodiment of the definition of insanity........... riiiiight!

(while) African-Americans made 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

The disparities will NEVER be overcome, as low black IQ is unsuited to today's high tech world. They are doomed by their genetics, not by whitey.

Does this mean that all Non PC comments are monitored and eliminated if necessary? Damn them all for all of their stupid racial comments - I’m talking about the media!

America seems to have overcome these problems but the media not so much!!

If you actually believe IQ means something in the everyday world, sure, I guess. I’d venture to say it’s vastly more cultural.

Those 8 arguments would be blasted into kingdom come, by these points:

Do not call your fellow black man or woman an “uncle tom” if he or she wants to better themselves.

Do not glorify lawbreaking; the Law of God applies to all mankind, blacks, whites, everyone.

If blacks can dominate the NBA and NFL (to a lesser extent) and music, why can’t the excel in other areas? My answer: because they don’t want to.

Actually, of course it does! To think otherwise is to believe that stupid folks invented the internet! Silly statement!

Now that has no bearing on race though as there are high IQ folks in all races so...

Conflating two different things...athletic ability and IQ. They do not always agree but when they do...watch out!

Recognize and end destructive behavior as well as criminal behavior, remove yourselves from high crime areas to low crime ones, learn a skill that is in demand and become good at it, work hard, spend less than you earn and make every effort to remain within the law.

That will correct the problem every time. If a black person or any kind of person is doing the above and is being harassed by law enforcement, I will be on their side. Law enforcement is far from perfect, we’ve seen enough ugly examples over the past several years. It happens.
