To take heart, to summon courage, to acknowledge its own role in its own failure. They have access to free schools, to preferential treatment and scholarships at most colleges, to hiring. They have access to free libraries, the internet, and to all the learning they could ever need.
All the tools any sovereign people, any sovereign individual, could ever need, have been laid out. Not only that, but they have been implored to use them. We white people have begged them to use them. Many many white self identified “liberals” have made it their life’s work getting black people to do things THEY DON’T WANT TO DO.
This is childish. And it is not racist to say so.
We have reached a point where we have to choose between abdicating moral values entirely, or calling bullshit on this massive failure. If we are to continue tolerance, continue hope that just ONE MORE program will make all the difference, then we must perforce cull from our minds any notion that it just could be their fault.
And if we grant that it IS, in the end, their fault NOW, then we must grant that one more program won’t do a damn thing, at least in the old mold.
Charter Schools: these work. Democrats oppose them.
Vouchers: these work. Democrats oppose them.
I am tempted to say that absent the cynical Democrat abuse of black voters we would have an integrated black nation now, one with self respect, low crime rates, high levels of literacy, and high levels of economic achievement.
Only awful people would oppose that. But if you like awful people, Hillary will be on the ballot soon enough.
