Problems can not be solved if we are not even allowed to talk about them. For the past 40 years, to speak or write anything negative about blacks automatically marks you as a racist. As long as this is the case, the problem will get worse.
All humans have dark sides, but these are controlled by society, first family, then friends, then your neighbors and society as a whole. That is the purpose of society, to make rules, customs and laws so we can work and live together.
But when there are no controls, and we are allowed to do what ever we want, anarchy becomes the norm. So why isn't anarchy the norm? Simple, we have been raised to respect other, the law, and ourselfs. One definition of an honest man is the guy that will stop at a stop sign in the middle of a desert when no one else around to see him. That is, you obey the law even when you know you will not be caught.
But if all bad behavior is quickly excused because of some treatment your ancestors received, then there is no reason to behave. Today, in 2005, for anyone to point out any destructive behavior by blacks will result in that individual to be demonized. Don't believe me, ask Bill Cosby, or Justice Thomas. We now have a large segment of our population that do not feel they have to conform to societies standards.
If someone else is going to pick up the cost of your bad decisions, then there is no reason not to have fun, and not worry about the consequences.
The "Great Society" is a failure. Welfare, as a government obligation is a failure. The ideas that blacks can not make it in America is a failed idea. There is no reason a black American can not be educated, learn a trade, get married, enter middle class American and reap the rewards this nation has to offer for hard work, except for those that want to keep them poor, and uneducated. There was a large black middle class and rich class before the 1960s and the Great Society. Don't believe, think Harlem in the 1930s and 1940s.
If the United States is as racist as some would paint us, how is it that poor blacks from the Caribean and Africa can come to this country and achieve success? Is it a special form of racisim that is only evoked for American born blacks? Or is it a lie to justify bad behaivior, and lack of will?
I have news for you, those that want blacks "kept in their place" are not in the Republican party, they are the Race Pimps and Democrats that would sacrifice a whole segment of our people to keep them voting for them.
The first thing that must occur is that we must be able to point out and condemn bad and destructive behavior when we see it, regardless of the race of the person without automatically being labeled as a racist.
As Freud would say, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes criticism is just that, criticism, and not racism.
good post... I agree. If we were wholly dependent on the MSM then there would be no discussion, at least nothing conservative and useful. Conservatives would not get the time of day at all.
Again,
I'm agreeing with all of you,
I just worded it wrong (or didn't make it clear).
HELP SOMEONE! EEK!
Amen and Amen.
