Only one reason IMO - Welfare.
...”Comments?”...
If you want an accurate account, do not walk but run to see “America, What Would the World do Without Her,” by Dinesh D’Souza. He does not distort or change our history..He places it in the light of world history and explains it very well.
Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard asked that blacks be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin... maybe, (as a group,) they should come up with another criteria to be judged by. /racism
6. LBJ
At the root...... terminal laziness
Those who are not lazy progress well.
Here’s the five reasons:
1. Refusal to recognize and value individual worth.
2. Obsession with race.
3. Obsession with race.
4. Obsession with race.
5. Obsession with race.
5 reasons?
1. Whitey
2. Whitey
3. Whitey
4. Whitey
5. Whitey
Did I miss any?
The “great society” and other dim-0 ideas.
Black wimmen being targeted by the gov’t with the message
“we’ll pay you to have bastards”.
This is why people of the urban/black culture have not kept up.
The best thing that could happen to their culture would be to cut off welfare benefits and require them to rely on local charity.
Men would then be culturally required to be “marriageable” before having sex, and fathers would protect their daughters from “playas”.
If the proportional number of people were to die today that died in our Civil War (over slavery to some extent) -
we’d lose
3,600,000 people.
I’ll be willing to bet you that not one out of 1000 African Americans knows that their ancestor was sold by the chief of their tribe to an Arab slave trader who brought them to America.
I was touring a plantation in Louisiana years ago when a black woman learned that the plantation we were touring had been owned by a black person and he owned black slaves.
The look of disbelief on her face was hilarious.
Good grief. This is riddled with so much self-pitying and anti-white racism I don’t know where to begin. The idea that anyone in America does not have opportunities is a self-defeating idea. Back in the 1920s before welfare took over, and drugs flooded into America, blacks used to be extremely entrepreneurial. Remember the shoe-shine man? The employment rate among blacks was higher than it was among whites. Explain that, Dr. Watkins! Explain why other minorities can come to America and succeed, Dr. Watkins. You can’t because you don’t want to call out the leftist policies destroying the black community.
“Then, when the MBA, PhD, or MD finds himself in the unemployment line, he becomes so frustrated that he gives himself hypertension or ends up drinking his problems away after realizing the obvious: America doesn’t give a damn about you”

Gee,when my daughter with an MBA was out of work for 18 months there was no “America hates me” talk.
She grabbed any work she could find,cut up her credit cards,and kept looking for employment.
She ended up with a great job.

There was a lot of BS in the article but this is the one thing that he got right. Asians come to this country and work for 'others' the shortest time possible. They pool their resources among family mostly and open a business or buy income producing property ASAP. They support other Asian businesses. This is they key to their success.
Blacks have not done this as whole. They depend on others to give them a job. This is true even in Africa where various colonizers have come in and created work for Africans. Right now it is big Chinese corporations who are building infrastructure and running resource extraction operations on a scale not even European colonizers could have managed. And in general the African people are not benefitting from this industry except for "working for the man" in their own countries. The Chinese are buying up property and using/selling the resources at a fast clip and the Africans get steady but relatively low paid employment out of it which may help them for a generation or three ... but not long term.
And then there is the issue of the massive black abortion rate in the USA. This cannot be ignored. While other racial and ethnic groups are growing as percentages demographically, black demographics have stalled for decades and are now headed down with latinos advancing over them.
1) The authors first point? Comparison of jews/ halocaust/ birth of Israel? He overlooks the birth of Liberia, West Africa. He overlooks their ability to successfully screw up reality in a situation where they had 100% control.
We can reqadily see the progress they have made in Liberia!
2) He overlooks Africa and it’s successes the black people have created ever since all of them got their independence in the 50’s and 60’s. Everyone of those nations has gone backwards in GDP. In assessing their failure, they always seek to blame others, preferably the white.
3) He never mentions the black persons desired intent to never integrate into a functions system, It is readily seen in Africa, where the bulk of the decisions, crime and corruption is founded in traditional power structures based in tribalism.
4) He never talks about the nature of the black to regress to being Africans.... not Americans starting with the concept of Afro-american. You see this in Africa. Children are regualrly hazed if they are doing well in school for learning “how to be white”
The thesis was NOT that black people are inherently inferior.
Read Larry Elder, or Thomas Sowell, or Walter E. Williams. Look at Allen West. There aren't many guys of other races who match up, particularly to Drs Sowell and Williams. LTC West has more balls than Obummer, and the race baiters Holder, Jackson and Sharpton put together.
I have worked with and for some outstanding black men and women who sure as heck weren't lazy, or stupid, or irresponsible.
What's to blame ? Our subsidizing poverty, and subsidizing "women" who don't read "cursive", but who squirt out (or abort) babies they effectively abandon, rather than give birth to and effectively mother them. It's very simple logic.
The thesis of the “bell curve” is that data shows there is a difference in the in the AVERAGE IQ of the various races, and because there is a strong correlation between IQ and success in life, it is those difference in average IQ that explain the successes of the people of the various racial groups.
The Bell Curve does not at all say that you cannot have geniuses in racial groups with lower IQ, only that their numbers will be fewer than in the racial group with the higher IQ. This agrees with what we see in the real world, and makes perfect sense when one looks at the distribution curves.
Moreover, we are only exacerbating this imbalance with policies like war on poverty, affirmative action and diversity programs, which tend to increase the lower IQ population.
I think “The Bell Curve” does a superb job of explaining the realities we see in the world when it comes to the various races. But its content is so politically incorrect (though factually correct) that no public figure dares refer to it.
There are consequences to be paid when one ignores reality, and sooner or later we will pay them. Reality is a tough taskmaster.
The one piece of sense buried in all the whining.
Craptastic! There’s my comment. When do I get a check from England for them tormenting all my Irish ancestors?
