Of course it is.
Walter Williams has spent years showing that the black family was in much better shape under “Jim Crow,” that blacks were far less involved in crime under “Jim Crow,” that black people were far more likely to be employed under “Jim Crow,” that black people had a superior culture under “Jim Crow,” that black people had made more rapid economic progress under “Jim Crow.”
Why were black people so much more successful - outside of the political realm - under Jim Crow than under Barack Hussein Obama? It is because back then black people looked up to Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver who were Christian conservatives.
Booker T. Washington believed that black people should focus on entrepreneuralism and building a strong moral character. It was his arch enemy W.E.B. DuBois who preached the destructive philosophy of racial chauvinism and black empowerment.
Thanks to Martin Luther King, Jr. who the MSM transformed into a demigod, the W.E.B. DuBois philosophy of radical leftism (DuBois later converted to communism and moved to Ghana) triumphed over Booker T. Washington’s philosophy of racial reconciliation and entrepreneuralism.
I grew up near Tuskegee, AL. Booker T. Washington is buried there. He must be rolling in his grave at what Tuskegee has become under generations of failed black leadership by frauds and hustlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Tuskegee was one of the few cities in America where blacks and whites had actually created a workable living arrangement.
Sometimes I ride around Alabama and I see schools named after Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. I often find myself wondering what Alabama would be like in the 21st century if the stupidity of the 1960s hadn’t destroyed civilization here.
The radical leftism of the 1960s has lowered the quality of our culture for both races. We have cell phones and computers, but we are morally and culturally inferior to our great-grandfathers.
There weren’t nearly as many black people in prison back then. The government didn’t squander nearly as much money on inefficient uses of taxpayer dollars like the criminal justice system.
Rap music didn’t exist back then. Thugs were not glorified by the media. Black people respected their elders. Black people didn’t give their children stupid ghetto names.
Now, look at them: they live in LBJ’s Great Society in the projects, they are enslaved to Obama’s EBT card, their communities are infested by drugs and violence, there is a black guy in the White House who gives Wall Street a $1.2 trillion dollar bailout.
If I was black, I would be furious. I would be as mad as Cornel West at Barack Hussein Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus.
It’s not the fault of White people. The White people of this country have invested more money and energy trying to help black people over the past fifty years than we put into putting a man on the moon or winning the Second World War.
Who is responsible for creating these unrealistic explanations? Who is responsible for the tragedy that Black America now finds itself in?
Martin Luther King, Jr. and W.E.B. DuBois are responsible. They are the ones who set Black America on this course. It was MLK and DuBois who said that “black power” (Malcolm X had the same message) would solve all the problems of black people.
“Black Power” didn’t work in Haiti, in Ethiopia, in Detroit, in New Orleans, in Zimbabwe, in Congo ... it has never worked anywhere!
The only thing that has ever worked for black people is Christianity and conservatism and common sense ... which is epitomized in Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver and all the good they were able to do for black people when they were the role models.
It’s not just the black family; every type of family has suffered since the Great Depression.
I did a research paper a long time ago that convinced me W.E.B Dubois was really a communist all along but wisely chose to hide it until he was safely out of the country. His unstated plan was to start a race war and then use the inevitable massacre as political leverage against the evil white man. After the untimely death of B.T. Washington, the civil rithts movement became dominated by the Dubois wing culminating in MLK.
Amen...we are much more morally inferior than 40 years ago.
Thank you for your comments (Post #9). I PROUDLY served on the submarine named after a great black man GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER.
