A bad mix of having things too easy (with rise of affluence), the public school culture, in some cases parents (dads not being around), and in some cases white ethnics forgetting their roots.
I don't think white folks need to embrace "thug life," and I have no use for it. I do think we need to stand our ground and refuse to stop being doormats putting up with BS from either white leftists or goons (actual goons, not Martin) of any color. If the system fails, then do what needs to be done. That's what Micks, Southerners, and Italians have done since the beginning of time.
I can't stand poverty pimps, but I have begrudging respect for one aspect of black culture. What happens if a white person kills an innocent black person. Massive outrage. It's not tolerated. It should NOT be tolerated. The system then normally takes care of it. What happens when blacks kill innocent whites? We put up with it. Even in the 1980's. That would NEVER happen in a lot of areas. Those Micks, Southerners, and Italians especially would make sure of it. That needs to come back, and it's on us. If the system doesn't work right, we need to do its job for it quietly.
The entire education system has failed in American. What is seldom recognized is that blacks have suffered most from this tragedy. Starting in first grade, their lives become a series of failures and humiliations. When the socialist educrat John Dewey eliminated phonics from American schools it prevented 25%-30% of students from learning to read. (I have my own suspicions about why Dewey would want an illiterate population.)
However, the greatest burden of illiteracy falls on black kids, 60%-75% of whom can't read worth sh*t. All because our modern-day followers of Dewey don't care enough to make sure ghetto kids learn to read. (Reading studies using the phonics method show blacks and whites score equally well.)
Imagine you're a frightened little black kid living in a neighborhood where the only male role models are pimps and drug sellers. Your mom is on welfare and your brothers and sisters all have different daddies. Going to school each day is a relief, at first. You get breakfast. But in the classroom your dream of learning to read comes crashing down. The room is disorderly as the ADHD kids take over. The teacher means well but she has long ago given up and now just collects her salary. On the playground you get beat up. If you show any promise as a scholar you get punished by the bullies for "acting white."
If Obama really cared about his black brothers he would radically overhaul public education.
Remember when the blacks in the inner cities in the 60’s. 70’s and 80’s were robbing whites, the liberals told whites to carry $20.00 dollars so you have something to give them when they rob you!
This caused “white flight” from the inner cities, the blacks took over, the cities died, e.g. Detroit, now the black teenagers are mobbing up and branching out into the suburbs to attack whites.
Blacks are outraged, whites should be outraged, it has been a long time coming!
So glad Obama’s election helped bring the races together!NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
