But their numbers are quite small compared to the many more millions of black Americans who are leeches, criminals, or simply putting in their time thanks to affirmative action/discrimination where in many jobs it is all but impossible to fire them. Ever since affirmative discrimination, few whites have respect for any black person who they think was given a job or title simply because they were an "oppressed" minority. I certainly have none. Respect is given where respect is due.
Yes, good points. The phrase “with all due respect...” actually means what it says.
And of course no race or any group are all one way. The Negroid race has many, many folks of excellent character, living an honarable life with distinction...like Thomas Sowell as you suggest. SC Justice Clarence Thomas, trumpeter Louis Armstrong, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, baseballer Hank Aaron, all-around scientist and inventor George Washington Carver....just a few.
There’s the good, bad and indifferent in all peoples, it just seems to me the percentage of undesirables is higher in the black race.
