That is why we must all begin to watch out for each other. We must all rally to the aid of those unjustly harmed. It isn't just about the poor Iraqis, the poor Africans. If this nation goes down, who will the poor Iraqis and Africans turn to? If this nation cannot get its moral compass fixed in the near future, who will defend the defenseless? If blacks in America cannot move forward, they will be trampled under. There's a hungrier, more dedicated class of immigrants -- no, not just Mexicans -- from all over the world who will take the places that should have been theirs. Nobody seems to get it. It's like talking to a wall.
I and my husband have spent our lives believing in civil rights. He in the brokerage business and then in education - trying to educate the disadvantaged, and I in the law. I'm in Immigration Law (something I hesitate to disclose, lately). We have been wounded beyond measure by what is happening and has happened to us. May God help this country if families like ours can be thrown to the lions.
I've seen it happen to men I know. A girl gets mad because the director doesn't pick her for the lead in the play for her senior year, and she expected to get it. Then, she's suddenly involved in a whispering campaign, asking other girls if they don't think maybe he's been too friendly.
He gets placed on suspension, a new director comes in, and guess who gets the lead?
There are evil 17 year olds.
He was never fully vindicated, and it ruined his career.
American blacks have had over a century to succeed, and lately forty years since the civil rights movement. No other group has been given the help, privileges, special considerations, money, exceptions and opportunities they have been given. Look at what they did with it. Yes, some have succeeded, but they also created a very sick culture of failure and mindset of victimhood in spite of those successes. So I agree with your point that other groups will fill the void created by the failures of black Americans to seize the day.
