I can imagine that downhill slide...
This article is so accurate, it’s scary. It’s also SOOOOO anti-PC, that I’m shocked this guy, Pennington, would publish it under his name.
I am not “anti-black”. I work with, and around several black people that I love dearly. For those blacks who actually WORK, who take pride in what they do (whatever it is), who give a crap about their families, and who are striving to improve themselves and their communities.... I have the utmost respect and affection.
For the many, many others that I see every day.... hanging on the street corners drinking beer at noon, shooting each other in the streets of West End Louisville at 2 am, cruising around town in flashy “drug-store-on-wheels” hot rods..... I have nothing but contempt.
They drag our society down in so many ways. Take a look at every state that scores AT THE BOTTOM in academic achievement. What do they have in common? High %’s of black population. Where are the unemployed? The single parent homes?? Largely dominated by heavily black populations.
I’m sorry.. but, this does make me mad. For goodness sakes, WHEN??? will they care enough to DO SOMETHING about their own plight? I refuse to believe that it has to be this way.... It is not WHITE AMERICA holding them down. They keep themselves down... believing crap like that espoused by Rev. JWright.
It makes me sad to watch my children develop their own animosities to black people, after having been raised not to, by their own observations about the behavior of the black children in their school.
What is the percentage of Blacks are currently in prison relative to their make up in the national population?
What is the percentage of drug use in the Black population?
What is the number of unwed mothers in the Black population?
How many Black woman have multiple children by multiple fathers?
What is the crime rate among the Black population?
Why is it that almost every other minority in America - even Hispanics - has generally thrived in this country? Sure, Blacks were slaves, but they were slaves in many, many other countries as well. In fact, throughout history, many people were enslaved. Whites look at Blacks and ask, "When does it end? When has the debt been repayed?" Further, Whites ask, "Why not stop harboring this grudge from 150 years ago, move on, and improve your lot in life?"
For whatever reason many Blacks, as Obama pointed out, soothe themselves by taking comfort in the fact that their forebearers were at one time oppressed. But one can reasonably ask, "Is this not an excuse merely to absolve yourself from even attempting to succeed?"
Most regrettable is that Black animus against Whites has assiduously been passed down from generation after generation by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright. Where are men today like Martin Luther King? No, the real sin of Obama is that he has supported and facilitated the spread of hate through Jeremiah Wright to the next generation of Blacks, including his own children. That is a sad fact, and it is the reason he is unfit to lead this nation.
It’s not racial. It’s cultural. It just so happens that the culture that you mentioned is largely, but NOT exclusively, black. That sort of “gangsta” culture, one that actively punishes those who seek to break out of it, one that continually plays the victim over and over again, isn’t exclusive to blacks; nowadays you find a lot of Latinos and even some Asians and whites in it as well.
I know black people who work hard, and have achieved, and are great to be around. I don’t care about their race. I’d take them over a trashy white Eminem-style “homeboy” any day of the week.

So do I. But now, after the eyeopening revelation (for me) that there are many Rev. Wrights in this country, I look at them and wonder what they REALLY think about me. I now suspect, sadly, that underneath their pleasant exterior, they detest me.
