Huber’s: “misguided perception of African-Americans … as an ethnic group that, in its entirety, is lazy, shiftless, irresponsible, and largely criminal.”

How many times has this quote been regurgitated by so-called negro leaders, mayors, pastors, and negro politicians. It is now their mantra.

These apologists are fully aware of the negro problem in their cities but do absolute nothing about it, continue the victimization of blacks, and blame whites for everything negroes do and know their people use the terms above to describe their own people.

There is no such thing as African-Americans ! That politically correct terminology was coined in the late eighties mainly by politically correct liberal white and negro people. The continued use of this hyphenated lie does nothing but continually hold the negro race down.

Philadelphia is a lousy, bankrupt, crime-ridden city. I try to avoid it.

This has turned into reverse discrimination, hasn’t it?

“misguided perception of African-Americans … as an ethnic group that, in its entirety, is lazy, shiftless, irresponsible, and largely criminal.”

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Robert Huber seems to be a little puzzled that Mayor Michael Nutter is miffed at his article. My guess is Mr Huber and Mayor Nutter have different understandings of the words “Conversation” and “Dialog”. Mayor Nutter like most African-americans use the word “Dialog” when they really mean “Monologue”. See, just a misunderstanding.

Nutter simply said the article arose from Huber’s “misguided perception of African-Americans … as an ethnic group that, in its entirety, is lazy, shiftless, irresponsible, and largely criminal.”

Read Huber's article, and it said no such thing. It actually danced around trying to make reasonable points without overly violating PC norms.

I don't know any reasonable person who believes AAs are an ethnic group that is, in its entirety, lazy, shiftless, irresponsible, and largely criminal.

Not even John Derbyshire.

Any reasonable person will, however, agree that a much higher percentage of the AA population falls into this stereotype than of any other American ethnic group.

That is an unfortunate fact, and denouncing those who point it out won't make it go away.

So much for having a national conversation on race that the libs always talk about. It seems forthright conversation with some give and take is the last thing they want. Libs have turned the word "conversation' into another psycho-babble word for them to deploy

Nutter said the piece was bogus because it depended upon “...white people who have used isolated negative experiences to draw perverse generalizations...”

After surviving three armed robberies, two commercial burglaries, and two instances of my AA neighbors helping themselves to the batteries in my truck, I guess I’ll now have to apologize to Nutter for the sin of having my personal experiences shape my “perverse” perceptions.

When the mayor said he wanted a ‘conversation’ he meant for whites to sit down, shut up and listen.

[Chode]

funny but i don't remember reading that in the article... must be nutter's opinion

Philadelpia is a sickening sh*t hole, almost exclusively due to Black crime - anyone who says differently is either deluded or a liar.
