There is no doubt that Black men and women have performed miracles of achievement in the Judeo/Christian culture of the West.

It appears that what has held them back in Africa is tribalism and islam...not race.

“some people know that they can have children out of wedlock, drop out of school and refuse employment and suffer little consequence, one should not be surprised to see the growth of such behavior”

IMO it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to call that a form of reparations.

Dr. Williams might also have mentioned that progress was accomplished against virulent and violent opposition from white Democrats. First, post-Reconstruction Democrat controlled legislatures in the South passed Jim Crow segregation laws, enforced with rope, guns, and fire. Then what little progress had been made through the last half of the nineteenth century was cast aside by that pillar of the Democratic Party, Professor Woodrow Wilson.

The Civil Rights Movement was spawned under Dwight Eisenhower and only carried forward and taken credit for by those Democrats who saw the writing on the wall and realized they could put blacks back in a sort of bondage (with voting rights as long as they punched the "D" cards) masked with the falsely benign face of "Welfare". But his points are correct. Not that very many if any people with whom he shares an African heritage will listen.

What's the evidence? If one totaled up the earnings of black Americans and considered us as a separate nation with our own gross domestic product, we would rank among the 20 richest nations.

I wonder if this includes those on recurrent gubment help

***The poverty rate among blacks is about 30 percent.***

But, but Democrat Lyndon Johnson declared WAR on POVERTY back in 1964! What happened!

I saw an old Arkan-saw cartoon in 1964.

Hillbilly Woman: “Paw, the President said he is going to declare war on Poverty!”

Hillbilly man setting on the porch: “Well, if he wants me in his war on Poverty he is going to have to draft me!”
