The black community needs new leadership that actually wants them to succeed

The likes of Jesse Jackson need to be replaced

[Jonathon Spectre]

When literally everything in your culture tells you that hard work and learning are "white" (Is this really an insult?) and therefore bad, what do you expect?

I'm really not sure that the mantra of "blame public elementary schools" is where it's at (though they are to blame for much.)

The real problem does not begin in Kindergarten, but in the black culture that shuns academic achievement. (I grant that the predominantly black teachers at predominantly black schools may be passing on more of that disfunctional culture, but that would not be a concern if the parents were actively promoting academic achievement of their children.)

Walter Williams:"Whom do you think Frederick Douglass would deem the sell-out: those who seek an alternative to rotten schools that cost taxpayers $13,000 a year per student or those who support the status quo?"
---------------------------------
Charley Reese: "If you white liberal racists crave gratitude, buy yourself a dog and feed it properly."
And: "Judges who apply the law as it is to the facts as they are is what we need. If we had those kinds of judges, it wouldn't matter if they were liberal or conservative."
=================================

Guys, Charley Reese has a related article at King Features Syndicate Inc. today. Finally, writers are putting the blame where it truly belongs. Those in POWER making policy. And, considering the education of these, there is NO WAY that the destruction IS NOT deliberate. What passes for education today is pure unadulterated EVIL!!! Peace and love, George.

I know its unusual but I think putting it all on the schools is a kind of conservative PC scapegoat. When blacks and whites are put in the same schools and even in the same classes blacks do more poorly.

Perhaps the schools play a role, and certainlycsonservatives should be skeptical of liberal indoctrination and the schools.

But the fact remains When blacks and whites are put in the same schools and even in the same classes blacks do more poorly.

Unfortunately I believe the truth to tend more towards an alternate explanation- black culture just doesn't place as a strong a value on education as other cultures, whites, and even more so Jewish and certain Asian cultures. And without pressure to excel, from parents, peers whatever, the drive to do so disappears. And sometimes pressure goes in reverse - i.e. that it is deviant to succeed (or as it often is said - succeding is "acting white" or "selling out" et al)

Marva Collins in Cincinnati has proven what works. Black -and white - scoundrels oppose her. There were more black-owned businesses in Harlem in the 1920s than there are now. Shameful. Sowing hate and excuses defiles the society and poisons the culture.

While I'm against these Affirmative Action programs -- both on principle, and because they don't work -- I guess I'm a little confused over why Walter's worked up about the idea of "compelling state interest."

If Michigan wants to make Affirmative Action admission policies, it seems that the 10th Amendment gives them every right to do so.

Walter Williams is The Man!

[JesseHousman]

The black race pimps could care less about the decline of youngsters, black or white.

How about a black politician that would go down in the ghetto and talk the dudes into marrying the "'hos" that bore their children?

Some would have to commit bigamy, but wouldn't it be great if black families didn't have the welfare carrot dangling in front of them?

Pre-Lyingdon Johnson's "Great Society" there was a man sitting at the front of the table. Today, that man's been replaced by checks and foodstamps and we have generation after generation of welfare hogs who spend the government money to keep themselves fat and give the kids mustard bread sandwiches.

But, not to worry. The local schools serve breakfasts and lunches; some even during the summer recess.

[JesseHousman]

"What I ask for the Negro," Douglass said, "is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. ... All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! ... Your interference is doing him positive injury."

A great man wrote this, and a great man included it in his speech.

How can we be so fortunate as to have a Clarence Thomas and so unfortunate to have race-baiting pimps like Sharpton, Jackson(x2) and Waters ?
