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.

"The only path to economic freedom is to consistently preach the idea of black business development and entrepreneurship"

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”

One of the reasons that young black men are not able to keep up with the rapid educational progress of young black women is because too many of us get so caught up in a ridiculous, irrational hoop dream that we never get the chance to become something else. As prominent attorney and former Oklahoma Sooner Damario Solomon Simmons once said, “Education should NOT be your plan B. It should be your plan A.” Sports are destroying millions of young black men.

The one piece of sense buried in all the whining.

How about missing the grace of God and having a “root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” (Hebrews 12:15) Which i know myself too well.

The victim mentality is rife through this lament, while Chinese and others worked thru their discrimination, which while not as severe, did not see the manner of “reparations” either.

But which resulted in the victim-entitlement mentality and perpetual welfare, which liberals fostered, as the Reds did, to gain power.

While the constant emphasis upon race (what if i called white ppl “brothers” in distinction from other races) actually fosters racism.

Man looks on the outside, God looks at the heart. See yourself the way God does and surrender to the Lord Jesus and live it out.
