Endless Racial Discord

most racially divisive leader in America is our first African-American President

When I look back at the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and ‘60s, I marvel at how naïve I was that the passage of major legislation was going to “solve” the problem of discord between the white and black race.

On May 3, the Wall Street Journal reported on a survey regarding racial disturbances around the nation such as those that wracked Baltimore. “A resounding 96% of adults surveyed said it was likely there would be additional racial disturbances this summer…” To nobody’s surprise, blacks and whites “viewed the situation differently.”

“Asked to choose between two possible explanations for recent events, 60% of blacks said they reflected ‘long-standing frustrations about police mistreatment of African-Americans.’” Some 27% of black respondents said they thought the disturbances were caused by people as an excuse “to engage in looting and violence.” I favor the latter explanation because I doubt that our nation’s police forces engage in deliberate harassment and mistreatment of blacks.

The elephant in the room nobody likes to talk about is The Black Underclass. That relatively small percentage of Americans is responsible for most of the crime in cities and the waste of tax-payer money on social programs. They can rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic all they want i.e. more social programs, different political parties in charge, school choice, but nothing will help TBU.

And most people are coming around to realizing that. At least many average Americans are. The libs (and many conservative) elites still wrongly believe something can help TBU. Nothing can be done for them. Too stupid, too lazy, and too violent.

Interesting, another dimension extending the delusional principle of class warfare. Imagine a non African American, he’s not a descendant of slaves, so harming the interests of real African-Americans, it brings up the spectre of George Soros, the man who made $1 billion in 1 day betting against the British Exchequer, engineering the Occupy Wall St. 99% mind copulation, but on the basis of skin hue. Amazing.

That’s because the government (this Obama government) considers them to be at its beck and call whenever strife, turmoil, violent protest are needed to get its liberal “throw money at it” approach.

They are the most easily riled, most easily incited, and they do the most damage in the quickest amount of time. It’s the equivalent of turning a couple dozen vicious pit bulls to free-range the area when you get pissed at your neighbor.

The author noted the great example of the recovery of South Korea after the Korean war.

Yes, it started at the Tower of Babel.

Like you guys are saying the Obama administration can continue to stoke the race war with the pictures of black people rioting, protesting, and other criminal behavior.

Back in the sixties as a youth I was more liberal than I am now and onboard for all the social programs of the times. I thought (wrongly) that these programs would cure all the race problems, and black Americans would take their place alongside other Americans moving forward.

Needless to say, I was utterly wrong. Every social program designed to elevate blacks artificially failed miserably. I slowly came to realize that most of the problems of blacks were caused by themselves. Evil Whitey actually didn't cause all blacks to fail....how about that.

Certainly millions of qualified blacks were helped by the elimination of a lot of the discriminatory laws of the time. But a certain large percentage of blacks stayed right were they were. Nothing seemed to change their lives/circumstances one bit. The Black Underclass.

Fifty years from now, if nothing changes, we'll still have them. And there will be more of them. If we still have a country worth having after the liberals get done with their damage.

These stinking LIARS always divert from the truth that Obama is EVIL and is a FASCIST.
They don't DARE debate the FACTS that their leader is a LIAR !
Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

Take a look at Booker T. Washington on Black Victimhood.
This is a very important fact THAT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TODAY !

A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by promoting black victimhood and white guilt.
Jesse Jackson has been shaking down corporations with the scam for decades.
Booker T. Washington (1865–1915) warned of such people within the black community in his 1911 book My Larger Education.
He described them as “problem profiteers”:

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
– partly because they want sympathy
and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
(p. 118)

The Obamas have set race relations back 50 years. It is no coincidence either that there has been a spate of racially charged , historical films over the last few years, all pitting whites against blacks all over again. On the one hand it is supposed to be educational and entertaining but it is part of a collective grievance effort.

Before King Race Card Obama ascended the throne race relations were moving ahead. Now, after his input and support of thugs, we're back to 1965...

Booker T. Washington nailed the truth about them long ago.

I read Booker T. Washington's autobiography, Up from Slavery, in my early years as I was trying to overcome bias in the workplace. It was an amazingly inspiring book. His work ethic, intelligence and faith were outstanding examples of making lemonade out of lemons, not that his life was ever easy. Born a slave, he rose all the way to being an advisor to the President in matters of education for slave-descendents, not as easy to do before the days of Jesse and Al. All these years later, he remains one of my favorite heroes in American history.

That book should be SHOVED DOWN THE THROATS of every LIBERAL on this Earth !

If you travel outside of southern urban areas into the counties and countryside of the states, you’re likely to see enclaves (all over) of LBJs Great Society Experiment where untold billions were wasted.

I’m speaking about the remnants of government public housing of the late 60s and 70s where vast sums were spent to build houses for the welfare class. In some large measure they are still in use today. There are 4 such enclaves in my little city in North Georgia tucked out of the way that house the perpetual ‘unfortunates’ - two or three generations of them in fact. I drove buy one of them last week and saw a sign on the telephone poll letting everyone know that “Katy’s” baby shower was there.

Here it is 50-60 years later and these homes are still here. Why? They were built of poured concrete, rebar, plain brick and concrete poured roofs. Indestructible by many standards today.

I’ve often wonder why such durability? Initial cost wasn’t the factor. Termites, rot or insulation? It’s hard to say, but my conclusion is that they never intended just one generation had to be in them, that the Great Society would fix it all and we’d not need them any more. They were built to house multiple generations well into the foreseeable future.

If it's any comfort to you, that might just be coincidental. A friend of mine studying for Army Corps of Engineers at that time period (early 60s) raved about poured concrete and rebar being the wave of the future in building. That was a time of the swelling Baby Boom population starting to reach adulthood. So it may just have been what was considered state-of-the-art engineering at the time.

There was a lot of post-WW2 urban renewal going on in big cities then, too, with big concrete boxes built in the downtowns of New York, Philly and DC for offices and apartments. Most of them have since been torn down and replaced or modified because of their sheer ugliness; but the dollars to do that have come from rising real estate land value in the cities and private investment in upgraded business and residential construction for the Reagan-Clinton 80s and 90s economic booms.

Many of the projects were built for the returning WW 2 vets
