Democrat Racism

On what level is a high level
expert witness calling black people stupid not blatantly racist and
patronizing? Is it not the case that Jeff Foxworthy has made a career out of
stupid white people? We all know there are plenty of those. I have quite a few in
my family.  Demographically, stupid white people almost certainly vastly outnumber the sum total of blacks in this country.

The difference, the key difference, is that nobody makes excuses for
them; nobody has made a political career out of exploiting them; and nobody
says race has anything to do with it. Black family incomes rose steadily from
the late 1940’s until the late 1960’s, when people decided to “help”
them, at which point all those improvements in income and educational
attainment reversed, giving us our current situation. The only racism that
matters at this point is the soft tyranny of low expectations. The people who
expect nothing of you are not trying to help you. They are using you. They are
not friends: they are enemies.

I posted this on Facebook, then
decided to follow my own policy of trying to avoid divisiveness.

I added, in a comment I
accidentally deleted, that in my view MLK and Stephen Douglas and others would
be ENRAGED at how things have evolved in the so-called “black
community”.  Nobody trusts anyone.  Grandmothers raise a very
large number of kids, with neither father nor grandfather in sight.  Crime
is rampant, Education is spit on.

This expert, in repeatedly calling
blacks less educated, is also calling them lazy, because education–high school
education, and in many cases college education for the “disadvantaged”–
is and has been free for the last 50 years at least.    

Think of the 150,000 freed slaves
who went through Howard
University after the Civil
War.  Do you think they held the opportunity to get educated in contempt?
 Do you think they were mocked for trying to get smarter and know more?

And libraries are open to all.
 I have learned far more since leaving college than I learned in it.
 ANYONE who values knowledge can get it for free in this country.

And ponder too that he is openly
admitting that these people they want to be voting are ignorant of “public
affairs”, that they do not have, on his account, the BASIC information floating
in their heads to vote for anything  but free stuff.

I think it’s time for another news
fast.  This level of cynicism and indifference to human suffering enrages
me.

To be clear: ALL these problems are
solvable.  There is no inherent, insuperable problem with the black race
that they cannot be full partners in our society.  But this will not
happen until they start demanding more of themselves, and for the past 50
years, all their so-called leaders (I exempt only MLK, Malcolm X, and perhaps
Bill Cosby) have been making excuses for them, and assuming the worst of them,
as here.
