About the black national Anthem: I have a cassette tape where it's on and has a very nice melody, so if they want to sing it, I have nothing against as long as they sing it the way it is on the tape

The money sentence is the second paragraph:

“The root of so many stubborn problems in America’s inner cities have less to do with skin color than with behavior.”

Then, the last two paragraphs tie it up in a neat bundle:

“Life in the inner cities will never change until we stop excusing the bad behavior that produces mediocrity, poverty, and crime. On the skin color side, we are as equal as we’re going to be in America. It’s time for inner-city blacks to step up their games on the performance side.

“If not, tyrannical loudmouths like LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick will continue squeezing the udders of racial inequality to milk it for all it’s worth. While mothers and their children in cities like Chicago continue to be terrorized by underdeveloped men who are repeating the bad behavior they’re rewarded for.”

Pay attention, black Americans!

We are talking to you!

2 “national anthems” means 2 Americas.

The real one and the “black” one.

I don’t give in to cultural extortion. They can play that piece of music any time they want — just not in conjunction with honoring America.

Hey. My great-grandparents starved and worked long hours in shtetls and ghettos, and later in American sweat shops. That’s why I’m so tiny and un-athletic and bookish. The only exercise they got was running from angry mobs. It’s not my fault. You have to make me the starting quarterback for an NFL team, or I’m taking a knee to the black national anthem.

Yes, but they are sitting or kneeling during the real national anthem (which the black anthem is not), so for me it is unacceptable.

Is it just a coincidence that Blacks behave that way in every city in America?
Name a thriving Black city, or neighborhood...in the world.

It’s LBJ’s legacy, for the “great society”. And rural whites are starting to act that way for the same reason.

“The root of so many stubborn problems in America’s inner cities have less to do with skin color than with behavior.”

Unfortunately, the reality is that there’s a sizable correlation between the two,anywhere you look in the world.

Most self anointed “fair minded” and well meaning conservatives, like this author, simply refuse to accept this reality... because the solution to this “stubborn problem”, as he calls it, is a bit too unpalatable for his sensibilities.

Until LBJ’s “Great Society,” black unemployment was way down, so were children born out of wedlock and crime. LBJ freed black men of responsibility for a family, and sowed the seeds of anarchy. Single motherhood and drug use is now up in Appalachia as well. It just took longer to permeate that far, after the factories left for Mexico and China. Trump has been reversing it all, so naturally anti-fa and BLM had to stop his racism./s

Everything would be much easier if the police used large cages (we could call them “BarryCages, after a recent President) to hold large people who fill their system with drugs and anger, instead of kneeling on their necks. As long as our society is demanding one-sided rules of engagement, this will never get better.

Sounds good to me.
Maybe even The Dukes of Hazzard theme.

On the other hand, white is just a racial characteristic, not a nationality. So we could also make fun of the whole thing with the Beverly Hillbillies theme, or Benny Hill’s chase music.
