Sorry, but I no longer give a damn about the problems of “black America”. Anyone in this country that truly wants to have a good life can have one. Anyone who doesn’t can suffer in silence.
I pity the black person that wants to get ahead. Not only do they face the same challenges in life that the rest of us do, they have to escape the quicksand of a dysfunction, maladaptive tribal culture that threatens to continually drag them back down.

I agree:
1) lose the hyphenated African-American tag
2) dismiss Black liberation theology as BS
3) emulate people like Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell rather than 50cent and ‘don’t snitch’ Carmelo Anthony
4) adopt self reliance rather than government dependence as a work ethic
5) abandon the ghetto ,it’s lingo and lifestyle
6) raise ones awareness that conservative,working white and black folk are ones allies and not enemies in the individual pursuit of happiness.
They say you don’t need to put a lid on a pot full of crabs.
As soon as it looks like one is going to crawl out the others pull him back down.
The ghetto is much like that. While you are off at work the guys sitting on the stoops hustling know you are gone and can send someone to steal the new TV you bought.
