The sooner blacks realize that the Democratic Party does not push policies that promote growth, self-sufficiency, and competitiveness, the less likely you will have revelations of parishes with huge concentrations of blacks waiting for their Democrat government to save them. Bill Cosby's speeches on the decay of black youth hit the nail on the head and his so-called own race turned against him. Why? Because it was the truth.
Education, education, education, then find you a job. And that goes for any race. And once you become more successful, you become more conservative.
It is of equal import to note that no culture can succeed when the so actively malign anyone who is successful.
Cries of racism ring hollow these days when first- and second-generation Asians rise through the ranks of society even with their obvious ethnicity. This is because they do not tolerate (or glorify) punks. Every other "downtrodden" race here in America should take a cue from them.
But instead some minorities just cling to a crab mentality.*
* For those unfamiliar with the phrase, I recommend getting a bucket and filling it with small crabs. Watch what the other craps do when one starts to climb out. They all reach up and pull the ascending crab back down. That's precisely the dynamic that's going on in these "oppressed" communities."
