” the dad nowhere to be found” is and will always be the undoing of the african american community.
In my travels I have also come to understand any marginalized, underserved and many african americans in academia are true believers in socialism because its their belief it will right the wrongs inflicted upon them by the white man and making everyone “ equal”.
Representatives of this mindset can be found in “ The Squad” but there are others in govt( for example) who believe this myth and are “undercover” & would never publicly admit it because it would damage their career in the white man’ s world.
If african american wanting upward mobility and social justice thru crt , imho it will never happen.
They are their own victims-because from what I have seen - there is always something in them that doesnt quite make the grade. For example, oblamo’ s continual mispronouncements of simple vocabulary words in speeches.
Another example is many black college grads go on to graduate studies but are only accepted by 3rd or 4 th tier schools. They graduate with sub-par knowlege and enter their chosen field simply by the colir of their skin.
There are truly intelligent individuals in the african american community who can compete on the larger playing field and they are respected as anyone else would be.
But to make my point more clear- it will always be something. Take for example Kim Fox of the Smollett fiasco and what she created- and that is not a standard to hold yourself up to - or the most recent appointment of a AG (?) in NYC , with his Harvard degree and personal crt political agenda by witholding information or discarding it completely for a recent arrest case. He is playing by his own rules and endorses defund the police movement.
Lately I ran across Darcel Clark AG for Bronx County. Her wiki entry on her career is the swiss cheese of incompetence and ignorance of the law.Nikole Hannah- Jones who wrote the laughable 1619 Project. She quotes from and presents this “ project” as FACTS , demands a academic position of her choosing and then publicly admits it is a work of fiction . Recently on twitter she stated “ it is what it is” not being able to give a date for the Civil War when it was pointed out to her she was in error.
I can provide more examples but the list is too long at this point in time.These type of people will never last in the long run and will show everyone in the long run they are incompetant. It will take another century for that to hapoen but only if those willing to step up on the larger playing field and achieve their goals through merit.
Do you have a link where she admits it’s fiction?
