What’s wrong with holding up the good as a good example while repudiating the bad? It’s the unthinking racist who wants to stick everything that black people do in a “blind justice scale” and come up with a blanket verdict. As far as I am concerned rap is from the dark side and needn’t be held up with the good examples — but that leaves blues, jazz, rock, and even some classical.
The Great Society, an idea that was mostly of whites, played a large part in what was intended as a safety net for poor people but turned out to be a hammock lowering into hell. Black people were just beginning to come out of illogical social disfavor with the end of Jim Crow. They were more likely to be poor than white people were because Jim Crow limited their options for sharing in the wealth of the white sector. The Great Society grabbed the poor in its jaws, and guess who got the brunt of it. Fathers felt less responsible to their families if the government would just replace them with a monthly check to single mothers. Many other related ills resulted.
Yeah it’s all the Great Society’s fault.
All somone else’s fault , it always is , and certainly you are right we shouldn’t judge them since it’s someone else’s fault.
So no matter which way that scale tips we who think some personal responsibilty is required are racist.
