Politically incorrect to state, but blacks despite actual racism, wish to live among whites because they know their lives will be better.

More racist Democratic social engineering to cure racist Democratic social engineering? Socialists are incorrigible indeed.

It’s got nothing to do with that. It’s the social engineering that has targeted the black family.

Lots to think about in this article, but this one stands out as a classic quote:
In a country where aspiring teachers can consider it racist to be expected to articulately write about a text they read on a certification exam, what are the chances that all, or even most, black kids will have access to education as sterling as suburban white kids get?

5. Get out of the "class-collective" mindset. Stop thinking of yourselves as a bloc of blacks and more as individuals. Then you won't be compelled to heed the self-sabotaging mores of your culture's lowest common denominator.
6. Understand that "the white man" (whoever HE is) is not your enemy. Unless YOU make him one. The choice is yours.
7. Stop placing your trust in people (Sharpton, Jackson, et. al.) and institutions (the SPLC, the NAACP, the Democratic Party) that do not have your best interest in mind, but that are using you only as vehicles to greater power. Look at the evidence. What have they done for you except keep you mired in poverty, hopelessness, and despair? But notice that THEY all seem to be doing pretty well ...

How about if black americans just toss out their crutch of racism and just pursue their dreams and goals with the freedoms they have as any other legal citizen does. There are no more racist laws on the books nor have been for a long time. Stop with the woe is black me mindset already— its a bore and its old.

Just another article that lets Blacks off the hook for having any responsibility for their own situation. You won’t get “white America” to go along if you continue to make whites the entire problem. Blacks need to pull up their pants over the cracks of their asses, keep their penises in their pants, and give up trying to “be different.” Like it or not, this is a white majority country (at least now it is) and it’s hard enough to “blend in as it is,” so loose those “african names” too, and make getting an education something that’s valued, not the opposite. Make Ben Carson your role model, not Snoop Dogg!

.... I don't know if some people realize this .... but if there are certain people that are always grumbling and complaining about stuff ......... They will become known as the People who ALWAYS Grumble and Complain about Stuff and will be treated as such.

Why is it the people who seem most concerned about racism continually vote Democrat? This is like saying “I hate people who smoke so I am going to buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke” Huh?

You cannot present the entirety of the black populace with reason and logic and expect them to process that realistically in a framework that involves the normal thinking process not abused by the race-baiters, opportunistic politicians and those seeking to profit from the misery they perceive. Long sentence, but one worth thinking about.
It is human nature to blame. Children do it all the time. It's their first instinct because they know the implications of what happens when their behavior becomes part of the equation.
The inescapable axiom in all of this needless pandering, blaming, victimization, subjugation of the will to succeed in the face of adversity through work and perseverance to baser instincts is explained thusly: the slave dreams not of being free, but of being master.

At some point the black community needs to see the ball is in their court....it is a matter of ‘their will’ to see these changes in their communities they desire. Most importantly that they unite to make those changes by changing the “mindset” of their people......which the bulk resist doing because it's too easy playing the victim role, blaming the white communities by false guilt, and failing to address their own issues....to do so means they must be productive on behalf of their communities. Too few accept that challenge. Until the black community has leadership to rise their people above false victim hood nothing is going to change by any adjustments in the white community.
