*The Baltimore Sun” is definitely not known as a Conservative newspaper.
This very well written assessment by Ian Duncan of the situation in the USA
is certainly deserving of your consideration.*
*The Black Dilemma*
For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an interesting
experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class
whites.
The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people taken from darkest Africa and
forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white
population?
The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic
civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written
language and virtually no intellectual achievements. Acting on a policy
that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed
black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has
struggled with racial discord ever since.
Decade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave
up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment
would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they
wanted. They created the Freedmans Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried
to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race
preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.
Their new laws intruded into peoples lives in ways that would have been
otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce
school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests
of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to black schools
and vice-versa. They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards,
and endless hand wringing to close the achievement gap. To keep white
backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements
on race. They hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to
Celebrate Diversity! and Say No to Racism. Nothing was off limits if it
might salvage the experiment.
Some thought that what W.E.B. DuBois called the Talented Tenth would lead
the way for black people. A group of elite, educated blacks would knock
down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable of.
There is a Talented Tenth. They are the black Americans who have become
entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not
enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a
critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social
stability. That is what is missing.
Through the years, too many black people continue to show an inability to
function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them. Detroit is bankrupt,
the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and the vast majority of black
cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And blacks
never take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in
anger and resentment.
Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit,
Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Ferguson now Baltimore, rioting and
looting are just one racial incident away. The white elite would tell us
that this doesn't mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try
harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs,
and more opportunities.
But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many
laws are passed, no matter how many black geniuses are portrayed on TV, and
no matter who is president. Some argue its a problem of culture, as if
culture creates peoples behavior instead of the other way around. Others
blame white privilege.
But since 1965, when the elites opened Americas doors to the Third World,
immigrants from Asia and India people who are not white, not rich, and not
connected have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are
winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, black youths are
committing half the country's violent crime, which includes viciously
punching random white people on the street for the thrill of it that has
nothing to do with poverty.
The experiment has failed. Not because of white culture, or white
privilege, or white racism. The fundamental problem is that American black
culture has evolved into an un-fixable and crime ridden mess.
They do not want to change their culture or society, and expect others to
tolerate their violence and amoral behavior. They have become socially
incompatible with other races by their own design, not because of the
racism of others - but by their own hatred of non-blacks.
Our leaders don't seem to understand just how tired their white subjects
are with this experiment. They don't understand that white people aren't
out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are
exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints,
and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the
excuses, and the reflexive animosity. The liberal elites explain everything
with racism, and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach
the boiling point.---
"You can't legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out
of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person
must work for without receiving. The government can't give to anybody
anything that the government doesn't first take from somebody else. When
half of the people get the idea that they don't have to work because the
other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the
idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get
what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
