Lew,
Vietnamese that could not even speak a word of English have come to the USA and made a good life for themselves. Plenty of Asians come here and do very well. We have so many from India that come here and do well. So many Latinos come here and work hard and do well too.
For some reason, blacks, overall, haven’t succeeded. Maybe Lew can give us the excuses?
The blacks who are racist really despise Asians.
For some reason, blacks, overall, haven’t succeeded.
Some African blacks do quite well in the U.S. I know, because I've worked for lots of them. They've got a totally different (non-entitlement) mindset than many U.S. blacks.
Great points but you forgot something important: only American blacks can't seem to make it here. Blacks from many other places, the Caribbean and several African countries come here, get educated, work hard, obey the law and are extremely successful.
The civil rights movement was hijacked by Communists in the guise of the New Left. The Black Panthers, the Angela Davis's, Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons have all exploited race for both monetary and ideological reasons. LBJ, the world's worst sonofabitch -- curse his memory! -- created and made into a permanent entitlement the racial animosity we've seen played out over and over. Now, with Obama and Holder giving tacit approval for unlawful, anarchic race hatred and violence, push is coming to shove.
