Racism Racquet's Broken Strings

We have been hearing for the past several decades about racism. It is ever present; its practitioners are legion; it is the prime reason that blacks are wildly over represented in prison; it is responsible for the great disparity in per capita income; the list is both elastic and infinite. All of this is, of course, total bunk.

It is espoused by various pitchmen who have a vested, very vested, interest in promoting the idea that failure to compete by a black is always someone else’s fault. Invariably that impediment is white or, occasionally, a black that dares to disagree with the politically accepted “truth”. If a black kills a policeman, the immediate outcry is “police brutality”. If a black does not get some government or private sector job, and a white does, the idea of differences of qualification is dismissed. It is clearly racism.

Meanwhile, these “saviors” of the non white races maintain a royal existence. Jesse Jackson is fiercely opposed to school vouchers, which would begin to get poor inner city black students out of their disgraceful excuse for government schools. Jackson, Obama, et al. send their children to upscale private schools while those they “help” wallow in hopelessness, “taught” by overpaid time servers who can be fired for almost nothing. President Obama tried hard to have the very small DC voucher program abolished but was forced to relent. He was probably a bit uncomfortable with the thought that his daughters might rub elbows with a poor child. Jesse Jackson made sure his children avoided government schools and managed to get a Bud distributorship for one of them.

All of us have read about or witnessed the ascension of Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.

It's great to complain about the fallacy of the charge of racism, but it's better to point our the causes of the disparity: fatherlessness. The causes of fatherlessness are rooted deeply within the democrat party and liberalism: slavery, welfare, no-fault divorce, feminism, and gay marriage.

You are, of course, correct. The “liberals” first broke up the black and lower economic families. They know that a democracy cannot survive absent strong families and are laboring to undermine them. The “out of wedlock” birth rates help them also. Bastard children are much more likely to depend on the state so...
