They didn’t collapse. They were demolished by Obunga and Moochelle.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. What a well written article.

You didn’t destroy that.

The government helped.

This is exactly right:
African-American elites envision the urban underclass the same way that some La Raza third-generation Latinos view impoverished illegal immigrants from Oaxaca. Social disparities among the poor become arguments for affirmative-action leverage for elites, as if Barack Obama getting into Harvard Law or Lisa Jackson serving as EPA administrator will lower the crime rate in Baltimore or help change attitudes about illegitimacy in Oakland. Until we confess class is a greater barometer of privilege than race, I see no solution to the escalating tensions. How odd that upscale, one-percent African-Americans at NPR, the New York Times, and MSNBC monotonously blast white privilege, as if their own lives are always far more hurtful than those in Appalachia or rural Oklahoma.

Yes, but “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “Gone With the Wind” and the Confederate flag still have to be banned (sarc, big time).

I blame the white hipster leftists who loved and supported Obama. I can understand the blacks voting for him in 2008. But it’s the white leftists putting Obama over the finishing line because he’ll continue to keep the black underclass down and dependent.

Long wordy way to state what is obvious to some:

Obama Inc is THE biggest reason race relations have deteriorated.

If the path to success involves a good education and hard work and you take the path of ignorance and lazyness dont be surprised when you fail.

Blacks have become emboldened since he become the POS President.
They aren’t doing anything that they’ve been wanting to do in their dark (no pun intended) hearts since his inauguration.

They will answer for their crimes one day.

Just because you’re not a racist doesn’t mean your not a racist. And that’s racist.

And in their wrath, online commentators ironically end up confirming stereotypes that many whites are getting angry to the point of becoming racists.

Unfortunately, that's true. Both "scientific" racism and more casual racism are finding a broader expression. The distinction between biological "race" and active culture is often not made.

Personally, I am of the opinion that, as P.J. O'Rourke said, a Zulu raised in Scarsdale would be an orthodontist. Nurture, not nature.
