Oh, no, wait...you don't need a college degree to come to the conclusion you did.
Anyone with common sense would agree that sending unprepared people into an environment they are going to fail it is destructive to society, the institution, but most of all, the black student who was given preferential treatment in admissions in order to fill a quota.
This just makes me angry.
Frederick Douglas famously said in a lecture:
Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, “What shall we do with the Negro?”
I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!
If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!
If you see him on his way to school, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going to the dinner table at a hotel, let him go! If you see him going to the ballot- box, let him alone, don’t disturb him! If you see him going into a work-shop, just let him alone, your interference is doing him a positive injury.
Gen. Banks’ “preparation” is of a piece with this attempt to prop up the Negro. Let him fall if he cannot stand alone! If the Negro cannot live by the line of eternal justice, so beautifully pictured to you in the illustration used by Mr. Phillips, the fault will not be yours, it will be his who made the Negro, and established that line for his government.
I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!
The blacks have a family problem and with it a family discipline problem. That is something only they can solve and many have. But they have a long way to go. What would help: Kill the Affirmative Action Programs and subsidies and stop preaching the idea of black victimhood.
