Welcome to Freerepublic.

You did not finish your path:

For example, the transition from slavery to Jim Crowism to petty discrimination to near-equality

to the Great Society to welfare to fatherless homes to a destroyed community....

I also did not read anything that the author wrote about racism, race, or anything else that would point towards a racist attitude.

Those are not particularly black issues — there are plenty of useless white bums who depend on gummint instead of getting off their butts and working.
