Did any of the posters even bother to read the article? The majority of the responses here seem to be fixated on policies embraced by the liberal left. The writer is clearly looking for a different way.

Mr. Clingman may be a bit dense, but he appears to have a grasp of the crucial theories of black conservative self-determination. Good luck to you Mr. Clingman. Black Americans would be much better off listening to you than to Al Sharpton.

"You know, sometimes I wish it were so. Maybe if White folks stopped doing what they are doing for us, we’d be more inclined to do more for ourselves. Maybe if they would back off a bit and we would step up a bit, better relationships would exist between the two groups, because there would be more reciprocity, more leverage available to Black people, and a greater likelihood of positive responses from White folks when we really do need their support. Maybe, if Black people get our economic act together by recycling our dollars, supporting our own businesses, and building income-producing infrastructure, maybe Whites would be knocking on our doors asking to play ball with us.

Yeah, I read it. The writer is espousing self-determination of a sort. His reason for it though, is racism.

That is why it sickened me. 'Pod
