So well said.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve read several stories of young people performing heroic acts. These are young, black children, teenages. The first was in Lancaster, PA, Temar Boggs, who rescued a 5 year old girl from a kidnapper. Then yesterday, a 10 year old girl in Atlanta, Zna Gresham, catches a 1 month old infant from a burning building. Both of them were interviewed on local television, and I was amazed at the poise and good manners they both possessed. Their parents should be sooo proud. What I would like to see is national news make THESE kinds of stories their headlines. The younger generation is our hope, too..and goodness knows, they need real role models, not race-baiting ‘Reverends’ and gansta rap musicians.
While their are real problems, 0bama and Holder only fan the flames and make things worse. I still am hopeful that with men like you and a growing number of black conservatives getting more exposure, that the page will eventually turn. I wish you well, sir.
Makes me so sad..
Don’t be surprised. There has been a mini 1984 world going on within the black community for almost half a century now. Not only must they not say/think anything bad about liberalism/the democratic party, but they must all aver that they love them.
And they must even come of out schools believing that 2 + 2 = 5.
You are right on, sir!!! As I have often posted on this site, Barack Hussein Obama and his ilk of power hungry Black racist leaders are the worst nightmare for Black America!!! They have set Black folks back at least 100 years, dooming them to economic isolation. opportunity progress and forced living in an ever ongoing dangerous and criminal environment for their children and themselves!!! Sad commentary, that these folks are so blind to reality!!!
Hopefully some will read your words and take them to heart. It is sad when a black person tries to point out problems and are mostly attacked. Life could be better for blacks if more would open their mind to your words, Lloyd Marcus. Keep fighting the good fight and God bless.
Serious question...how many of these intelligent blacks you work with have a traditional family?
I was amazed by how many “educated” blacks still engage in having as many children with different partners as possible...
Poorly educated future breeder in America...she will pollute the future with lackluster spawn less educated than herself.
Head, meet nail.
Too bad the "sacrificial lambs" have it so deeply ingrained that they have a "right" to commit violent/criminal acts are being purposely kept dumbed down so they continue the works of their slave-masters.
The "plantation" would have died a graceful death if they hadn't been so deliberate about ensuring its continuance and insisting that their charges stayed firmly caged.
The “Idiocracy” effect of self-selected procreation that multiplies the number of people least qualified to advance humanity
I call this the “Idiocracy” effect, named after the movie of the same name (by Mike Judge). It simply means that humans who are least qualified to advance humanity are the most likely to have the most offspring.
Put simply, smart people have fewer babies, but the idiots procreate in massive numbers. This ultimately skews the demographic profile into a society filled with people of very low cognitive function who nevertheless represent the voting majority. From there, the downfall of society and the rise of the idiocracy is only a matter of time.
In a hundred years, this article you are reading right now will be incomprehensible to even high-level scholars of the future because it uses big words like “demographic” and “cognitive.” Anyone who can do basic algebra will be considered a genius.
Blacks are irresponsible random breeders...in a few years we will soon be learning about increased levels of incest among blacks due to half bothers and sisters unknowingly sharing the same father procreate
I was talking to one black guy who told me “You don’t shoot someone over a fist fight”. I told him it was not a “fist fight”, it was a “bitch fight” with Trayvon sucker-punching Zimmerman.
Who starts bitch fights? Muggers do so they can rob you which was probably going through Zimmermans mind: This guy is going to rob me and kill me. So what would you do if you had a gun? Shoot the mofo! Look at this: Many example of bitch fights all used by muggers:
Gee what is he wearing here? Oh a hoodie!

Another hoodie this time beating a woman...

Fist fights? I don’t think so.
Thank you, Mr. Marcus for being a voice of sanity in this matter. Here is another non-hyphenated-american who appreciates the truth of the matter.
I can’t find an untrue word, more’s the pity.
The irony is that blacks need exactly what white conservatives have for them: honest criticism. Day in and day out, conservatives lay out exactly what blacks need to do to get themselves out of their rut. They need to quit the self pity, get some self control, pull up their pants, get educated, and get with the program. Liberals have taught blacks that conservatives want them to fail, but that is 180 degrees backwards. Conservatives would rejoice to see blacks break out of their self-destructive patterns and thrive.
The money statement right there.
One philosophy of mine which I've not seen stated elsewhere, but which I think is very important, is "Strive to do unto others slightly better than they deserve." While society would fall into decay if people always strove to give others exactly what they deserved (unintentional slights would not be forgiven, but would accumulate until people refused to deal with each other), treating people too much better than they deserve can often be more harmful than would be treating them unjustly badly. Sometimes treating people much better than they deserve may be easier than holding them accountable for their actions, but the cases where doing so is the easiest course of action are often the ones where it is most harmful.
All too often liberals suggest "What's the harm in XXX?" and conservatives have no answer. I would suggest that certain kinds of "charity" are analogous to a person who fertilizes all the plants in his yard including the weeds. For the time being, the person may be using only his own resources to feed the weeds, and the person may have no intention of imposing on anyone else, but even if the person has no intention of forcing anyone else to feed his weeds, that doesn't mean his weeds won't force other people to feed them.
When liberals treat blacks so much better than they deserve it's really a form of contempt - and condescending and insulting... Too bad most blacks don't understand white people. If they did they'd never vote for a democrat again. Biden with his 'ya'll be in chains except for me' and Clinton's thing about being the 'first black President' ... What did people think that meant about Clinton? Tell me what traits Clinton had that made him 'black' and you'll see how insulting that designation was.
I enjoyed your thoughts on this supercat... insightful.
Such behavior can be motivated by contempt, but it's more often motivated by acquiescence. Those who decide that chasing down a $1,000 debt isn't worth $1,200 in legal fees, for example, may treat the debtor much better than deserved not out of any form of human kindness or charity, nor contempt, but rather a kind of laziness.
The path of least resistance is an interesting incentive...
