In the wake of Derrion Albert's death, I find myself increasingly disillusioned by the current state of Black America. While African Americans comprise 13.5 percent of the population, 43 percent of all murder victims in 2007 were African America. Of the 43 percent who were murdered, 93.1 percent were killed by African Americans.
Was it always like this? The answer is Unequivocally: NO.
The disproportionate crime rates, illegitimacy rates, divorce rates, drugs abuse, and disproportionate incarceration rates didn't begin until liberals took over the Black Community in the 60s. Before liberals came and negated the influence of the Black father ...

Welcome to the fight.
One of the most effective tactics that DemonRATs have developed over the last five decades has been their keen ability to portray personal responsibility and work ethic as qualities to be sneered at. Their incessant mantra against Capitalism and free enterprise has enabled them to buy off the voting loyalties of entire classes of people. And the damage they have done isn't limited to persons of any particular skin color.
The senseless killing this past week in Chicago of an honor student caught in the turf war between hoodlums from different housing projects is symbolic of the twisted values that groups of people fall into.
It will likely not be long remembered what they were fighting over, perhaps someone “dissed” someone else. What will remain is the fact that one life was taken, and many will be ruined as a consequence.
The path out of poverty, hopelessness and despair will not come from government programs and wealth redistribution. It will not come from worshiping rap stars and chasing easy money. It will come when the community demands educational excellence of themselves and elevates scholarship and integrity above all else.

That’s what happens when you ‘agitate’ a problem real or perceived, it doesn’t even have to be a real problem.(per Saul Alinsky tactics) for decades. Convince them they are still under slavery like conditions and it’s the ‘white man’s fault’.....of course this isn’t true, but if you keep telling them that, they believe it. And then convince them they are ‘entitled’ to pay checks, food, housing , free medical care, at taxpayer’s expense because hundreds and hundreds of years ago, somone in their family ‘may’ have been a descendant of a slave.....and then create corrupt programs, like slum lord Valerie Jarrett, tell them you’re doing it for their own good, the whole time pushing them further into squalor, while getting rich yourself....and somehow, they keep their vote! Now that is truly deception!
I do think America had gotten past color lines. And yes color wasn’t an issue in the campaign, until Obama’s campaing made it an issue. America certainly was ready to elect any color of man, too bad they chose this one as the first ‘black man’ he’s the wrong choice. And that will be remembered for decades.
Thank you so much for posting this. She is awesome. Will become a daily read.
Righteous stuff!
“So...all you non Caucasians.... hows that hope and change working out for ya?”
This is not a non Caucasian problem . This is an American problem. The problem boils down to way to many American children are growing up with no values and have turned away from “God” . If you are living in a small town it may appear to be a non Caucasian problem but go to the bigger cities were liberalism/atheistic values are prominent and you will see that the generation of children/young adults for the most part believe in nothing but themselves and what you can give them. It’s an American problem .
I have a very conservative high school senior - you would be really shocked to find out what’s going in the schools right now and how many pregnant “non Caucasians” are walking around with no plans for their future except to sit back and collect.
err make that pregnant Caucasians
Fixed.

...It has to come from within. When black folk wake up and realize that the mindset that we have been working with IS NOT helping us, but in fact ...killing us, then and only then will we stop electing these same people who are constantly trying to “give a man a fish”. I was having this conversation with two of my fellow nursing students (also black). One of them grew up in the hood, with no father, a crackhead mother and SHE decided there has got to be something better out there for me. She joined the Army, saw the world, got married, bought a house in the suburbs, had two kids and now she and I are about to graduate as RNs. She had to fight her way off of the plantation and now she is free. It can be done.
Hear, Hear...
And what manual did you read to give you this opinion?
Liberals managed to destroy an institution that survived the most heinous of circumstances.
So, what's the answer?
More government? Obama? PUHLEEZE! Spare me! Obama has the same prescription for the REST OF AMERICA that the Liberals had for Blacks in the 60s. It's not going to work. When you want to think of what a liberal utopia will look like in America (don't think of Stalin's Russia, Mussolini's Italy, or Hitler's Germany-I know it's tempting) just picture the ghettos of America.
Great find, Kenturkiana - thanks for sharing.
Ping.
Liberal white guilt money doesn't flow to the cooler heads in the community - but to the hotheads...
No manual, pal—life experience.
