And you won't hear that from the MSM or anyone within.

Poor urban blacks have been abandoned by wealthy black Americans who move into the suburbs and mainstream America as fast as they can.

And who would blame them for leaving the drugs, gunfire, gangs, hopelessness, failed schools, failed government and corruption? Anybody who CAN get out of an abject shithole WILL get out.

Once I read this, I knew there was a problem.

...after King was killed, there are still two Americas. One is largely white and wealthy, one largely black and poor.

No mention of the Hispanic population on this issue. Soon, Whites will not be a majority(of anything), and that is all by design.

Bush summed up the problem best when he talked about the "soft bigotry of low expectations."

what a rambling piece of crap.

Let me summarrize.

Blacks are poor and discriminated against because of rich whitey except for the case now that they are also discriminated against by rich Uncle Toms.......

Playing the victim race card.

Need some crack or a whore?

Everyone knows all you have to do is drive, at your own risk, down your local Martin Luther King Blvd.

And somehow that's Whitey's fault?

There is one thing both sides agree on: the black experience of America has been unique. Other immigrant groups have followed a familiar pattern of four stages. They arrived poor, suffered prejudice, assimilated, then prospered. So it went for the Irish, Italians, Asians and many others. In fact, Asians are now more successful than white Americans. They are more educated and get better jobs.

The main problem with black America is the lack of local role models, national role models and identity. With national "Role Models" like Jesse, Al, Louis and Kayne and the lack of local role models poor black Americans will not progress. In addition, based on my experiences, many poor blacks feel as though they are displaced Africans living in a white America that doesn't value them. The Democratic Party wants to keep things the way they are and many Reverends, athletes and the Hollywood crowd are helping them do just that.

'Most whites were shocked about the amount of poverty in New Orleans

I beg to disagree. What was most shocking was seeing a segment of society so totally incapable of doing anything for themselves, seeing grown men wholly dependent on the government to provide for their rescue. Seeing a situation where the only initiative being taken was that of the looters. If people had put half as much energy into planning for their safety as they did in finding a way to transport a stolen big-screen television set across flooded streets, there would have been a lot less pandemonium. This is what shocked me and many other whites.

There was no mention of the Hispanic population for good reason, when King was killed there was no Hispanic immigration problem.

BTW, just "who" by design is making whites a minority

Do I need to get my tin foil hat out or do you have a source for that information

That is not entiely true. In rural america where there is a serious meth problem (white problem) meth and ho's are a dime a dozen.

They left out one vital statistic that explains it all..<p.

Whites are ten times more to blame for black poverty than blacks.<p.

Now we know where all the blame lies.

I can't agree more

Most people understand in cities like N.O. there will be a higher proportion of poor people, I did see white poor people also in N.O.

Not a big shocker

This is what shocked me and many other whites.

I have to admit to feeling the same way. Seeing the looting of big ticket items by able bodied men who should have been helping the people in their community and hearing the reports of gunshots aimed at hospitals and rescue workers did more to harm the black community and set back race relations than any white person I can think of.

Tin foil or Source? Lets go with tin foil since I have no source for what I perceive. What I type is just my humble opinion.

I wish I had read your synopsis first instead of wading through that crap in search of the point!

The end of legal segregation caused the blacks who can function in a Western, technological society to move away from those who can't.

What's left behind are urban and rural concentrations of essentially third-world people, who are no more amenable to sociopolitical interventions than their brothers and sisters in the rest of the third world.

And nobody has any idea what to do about it.

Auburn Avenue didn't become an impoverished ghetto because of the decline of segregation, but because of the advent of the ever-expanding social welfare program initiated by LBJ's "War on Poverty". Many inner city blacks have been robbed of any sense of personal responsibility and social worth.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, it's just when you used the phrase "by design" it implies a strategy at play.

We may well be a minority in the future but it will be because of economic dynamics rather than a planned strategy
