I'll tell you what else has damaged blacks in the public relations department and that's the good liberal Jerry Springers and Maury Poviches of this world.

Show after show after show featuring black people who are uneducated, unemployable, illiterate, prone to fighting at the drop of a hat, impregnating and getting impregnated with no commitment, etc.

Those shows, by progressives all, has succeeded in making black people look like total losers.

This will be controversial, but, what really hurt the black community was integrating schools in the '60s.

When blacks sought an education as a means of competing with whites, their schools were well disciplined and most students there recognized (had it drummed into their heads, by black teachers) that the key to success was to become educated and work hard. Black schools competed with white schools academically. "Ebonics" was rarely tolerated and seen as demeaning.

After integration, discipline broke down (white administrators and teachers wanted to avoid being branded racist), and education suffered. As the grievance studies industry gained strength along with the explosive growth in social services of the 'great society', the former goals of educational excellence were largely lost on a significant segment of the demographic and dependency followed the social breakdown of the black family, fostered and enabled by the Liberals.

Had the schools remained segregated, and resources more fairly allocated in places where they were not, I think social structure and educational goals might have remained largely intact, despite the communist (new left) agitation going on at the time. The administrators and teachers in the schools would have had significantly more control over the situation and been free of being called 'racist'. The bar would have been set higher by their elders, who shared in the achievements and failures of those in their community.

Those from outside that demographic had no skin in the game, and went home to their house elsewhere, generally free of the effects on a community they were not part of.
