Yes, I know. I've been called a racist before (even though my cousin is Nigerian, my first girlfriend was Chinese, and my best friends at work are Pakistani and Indian). But the simple truth is that in my experience in teaching in the schools, Black students were the most disruptive, most obnoxious, ill-disciplined, and poorly motivated students. Not racism - simple observation, measurable by even the most cursory review of discipline and academic records. My personal feeling is that the pervasive liberal welfare society has so destroyed the American Black family that it will take decades, perhaps over a hundred years, to repair it. That destruction is reflected in their kids performance at school. Simple truth.
Sun rises in East. Tape at 11.
When an otherwise dynamic society, en masse, refuses to believe an obvious fact, and goes on to refuse to believe a series of similarly obvious facts, it is doomed.
Shall I recite the roll? Greece, the decadent remnants of Rome, the Burgundians, Russia (several times), the later Khanate, Byzantium, the French monarchy... aw, who cares, no one reads history any more, nor learns from it.
