It is up to us — black Americans — to do what we can and must do to save ourselves.

Not true. It is up to us — Americans — to do what we can and must do to save our countrymen.

I could start a school tomorrow, in a black community, but few kids would listen to a white guy...

I've thought about it, and done some research. It does require leadership from role models, though. That much is absolute. We just need to open that both ways.

Our downfall is that we now worship Mickey Mantle, more than Thomas Jefferson. Martin Luther King gets a holiday, and we don't even know which Presidents are celebrated on their day. Christmas has been replaced with Winter Break, and Easter has everything to do with eggs.

The courts have allowed perverts to be given rights, reserved for families, and want to give further blessing to illicit relationships through marriage. Meanwhile millions of tiny babies have been sucked from the womb.

It isn't just a black and white problem, though it often is. Our country is going to hell, in a handbasket...

What is needed -- oh, Lord, how much some people need. If someone is raised up wrong, an entire army of social workers and do-gooders can't make up for what was left out.

What is needed is an intact, loving family, mama and daddy both taking care of their children.

What is needed is an intact, functional community, where people work hard and abide by the rules.

What is needed is good teachers.

What is needed is honest cops.

What is needed is honest judges.

What is needed is to be treated with respect because you earned it, and to treat others with respect because they deserve it.

What is needed is to love your neighbor as yourself.

What is needed is to do the right thing.

Look on the brightside...it's not very much farther till we hit bottom and then there is no where else to go but up!

Honestly, I think it will get better.

You won't get much argument from me on that. Compelling photograph, ominous & frightening, what was the source?
Looks rather like the "Ninth Gate", yes?

The courts have allowed perverts to be given rights

Did you see yesterday's Oregon Supreme court decision that declared that live public sexual relations were protected as free expression?
