I’ll read your article with interest.
I’d take issue with a claim of soft bigotry of low expectations, however. That would mean continuing to favor the status quo with the presumption they’ll never change. I’ve discussed the subject for years and it’s a complex set of reasons why things have reached this point. But a large part of it WAS by design to make them political pawns of the left (LBJ himself was as blunt as could be when he intended to have them voting Democrat for the next 200 years). Too many people have a vested interest in keeping them in present conditions, including scores of their own elected officials (who make out quite well for themselves to the detriment of their constituents).
Everything you wrote is true.
But let me ask you this: did you think your success was somebody else’s responsibility? Why then do you think that someone else’s success is yours? Every one was minefields that have to walk through and pitfalls we must avoid.
Too may African Americans took the easy money and destroyed themselves in the process. The status quo has created a dependent class that we pay for, that produce the cash crop, votes, to keep those in power, who rob us to pay for the votes they need (a vicious circle). Liberals have created, with the help of the very people they targeted, African Americans, a dependent class (African Americans) and a slave class to pay for them (us).
I am agreeing that this status quo is stacked against them (and us). I am also saying that this fact shouldn’t matter if a group is determined to help themselves (back to the Irish). Until African Americans take the red pill, look in the mirror and say to themselves: “I am my problem and my solution”, nothing will change and nothing will get better. If they do that, they will take the first steps to freeing both themselves, and ironically, us.
