The black people you describe are much like those I grew up with in an industrial suburb of Chicago in the 1950’s, including my best friend in high school. We kept in touch through college and in August of 1963, with two other friends (one black and one white) drove a VW beetle to Washington DC for the famous march. We arrived after the march had started so we headed over to the Lincoln Memorial and claimed a prized location between the Memorial and the reflecting pool and had a great view of MLK Jr making his most famous speech.
Now many years later can I post anything even mildly critical of the changes I have noticed in black culture over the years without being smeared as a racist?
What the hell, here goes anyway.
It’s far past time for society to quit pandering to the black community and to demand that it take the lead in correcting the problems that the black underclass faces and creates. Here are a few suggestions.
There is a systematic lack of respect for education within too many parts of the black community. Tolerance of disruptive students by black school administrators and lack of effective discipline hinders learning in many black majority schools, stifling students’ potential achievement. The simple answer is to expel repeat offenders so that those who desire to learn can learn.
There is a casual acceptance of criminal behavior within the black community that results in a failure to cooperate with police in solving crimes. Until this is reversed there will be zero economic development within the areas where they live.
Finally, someone must find a way to make black fathers love and care for their children and especially their boy children. Young black men (15-34) are just 2% of the population and commit about half of the nation’s homicides. A rate fifty times higher than the average American. The lack of a father’s involvement in raising their sons is at the heart of this problem yet no one acknowledges it and seeks answers to it. Where the hell are the middle and upper class blacks (and especially black politicians) who even publicly acknowledge this problem?
