Bon Mot

A poor workman blames his tools; a poor teacher blames his students.

I may well have seen this somewhere, but I can’t remember.  It seems too obvious not to have been said by someone.

I will add, though, that what the black community in this country needs is teachers: not school teachers, but people who can show how to live with dignity, how to climb the economic ladder, how to live in respect for one another.  These people need to be black, not white.  Asking for help of white people in fighting this fight is tantamount to declaring insuperable weakness.  Weakness is not the problem: having weakness constantly rationalized for them is the problem.  More: being told that they DESERVE a respite from the problems of life because of something that happened long ago.

It is truly a great tragedy that since their last great leader, Martin Luther King, Jr., they have been led down the path of demanding more and more for less and less, to the detriment of all but the fork-tongued devils enriching themselves immensely from this process, of all races.

With friends like those, who needs enemies?
