If I was on Facebook then I'd ask my black Facebook friends to stop blaming all of their society's problems on everyone but themselves. Whites are not responsible for the breakdown in black families. Whites are not responsible for black parents who don't instill a respect for education in their kids. Whites are not responsible for black dropout rates or black drug usage or black’s giving up on improving themselves. We all know black people who go out every day and work a 9 to 5 job and then come home and nag their kids about homework and what they were doing all day, just like white families do. And that makes up most black families. They don't sit there wringing their hands and complaining about white privilege keeping them down.

Disagree.

White liberal democrats are 99% responsible for the breakdown of the black family.

I know - sometimes I read the first paragraph and think I’ve got it... it’s often a mistake. Like in this case...

I stopped ‘respectin’ after the Watts riots in the ‘60’s.
I stopped ‘respectin’ after a race riot in a small village near U-Tapao Thailand in 1973.
I stopped ‘respectin’ after the black riot on Dover AFB in 1975, and there were no arrests, and no disciplinarian actions or court martials.

Three strikes, you are out.

Interesting story. Yet whites are supposed to revere the ground Rosa Parks walked on, since she was such a martyr to “dah Cauz.”

Where is news reports of white people dying or being abused by black police officers ?

I know it happens... white cops kill white criminals - black cops kill white criminals. (Black cops tend to kill more black criminals - even as a percentage of population but that's a different story...) But for the most part the white community doesn't care how it's white criminals are treated. I can't imagine thousands of white people giving a damn about some white criminal dying. Maybe we should...

We do have small groups that keep an eye on 'the least of us'... and make sure prisoners are well fed and treated with dignity.. It's a small part of white culture... but a part that matters.

Most of us think crime's a dangerous occupation... if some white guy wants to be a criminal rather than getting a job it's his risk and his problem.

I know that sounds harsh... it might be one of the reason's we have fewer criminals. Our feeling is similar to people of all other races - other than blacks...

Have you ever seen thousands of Asians in the streets protesting the death of some Asian criminal? Doesn't happen.

Most races care about the innocent - not the thugs. But this Baltimore case might get interesting. If police are in on a murder - and cover-up - we all need to take a look at the overall problem of over-policing in the black community.(Aside from the fact that most of us are tired of paying the police to stand in for absent fathers...)

I know it's a 'which came first - the chicken or the egg' - type of thing... but someone will need to look at the incentive patterns that are creating the mess and start to redo them. We can't have cops acting as judge, jury and executioner. It undermines our whole system of law and justice. On that level.. this might matter. Big time.

And like the author of the piece you're out to lay the blame on anybody but the person responsible for manitaining the family themselves. It's always someone else's fault.

I hear the waaaahmbulance coming for Julia.

Why does she feel the need to identify with or care about criminals and ne’er do wells? I do not identify with or care one bit about the white criminal/ne’er do well class. There are too many successful black people in this country for this type of whining to have any validity.

Hopelessness? That's a choice. I control my situation. Oppression? BS. My ancestors dealt with real oppression, and not always legally. You and I have it easy on that scale. Pain? Deal with it like I have. Despair? I outwork everybody and got by that way. Anger? I'm angry at you f'ups in Salon f'ing up my country. Poverty? I've seen more than you have. Guarantee it.

I don't give a damn about your complaints. You citiots are mostly either lazy and/or undisciplined. Baltimore created this mess. Baltimore is mostly lazy and/or undisciplined. That include white Baltimore. You people there chose your leadership that f'ed you up and votes for democraps. That's on you libs.

I grew up in a rural county that was 97% white and has a consistent 20%+ poverty rate. I wasn't impoverished growing up and was lucky in that respect, but we lived on the edge like almost everyone else. There's not a lot money in North Michigan away from the resorts. I got my grades up, played sports (which kept me out of trouble) and got into school and while I'm not rich, I get by alright. That's due to hard work and discipline. We didn't shoot each other. We didn't kill each other. My former home county has 3 homicides in five years. Now why is that? Even with the black rural areas up north, it's the same thing. Two homicides in five years in that county (not sure if they were white or black). We have plenty of poverty, but since we are better than you, we don't screw over our neighborhoods.

This is a city problem. People in the city f'ed it up due to inferior city culture. Until that is fixed, the problem will still be there.

When it said that “White liberal democrats are 99% responsible for the breakdown of the black family”, it is understood that Lyndon B. Johnson and his Great Society Program planned the overthrow and destruction of the black American family. And for the last 50 years, white liberals have had carte blanche to politically and economically enslave the blacks.

But the blame doesn’t stop with white liberal politicians. No sir. The white media and the whites in the entertainment industry getting rich off of rap music and other racist “entertainment” are also to blame.

Sure blacks are to blame for the mess they are in. But whites in the government, the media and in entertainment are driving the bus that blacks are throwing themselves under.

The white liberals you’re referring to are the “elite” or “evil” class of liberal, who know full well that they are destroying and keeping people down.

The sheeperal class have one driving motivation - self-righteousness. They actually believe, and want to believe, that by voting for the evil class, they are “helping” blacks and the poor.

You’re right. White liberal elites are the problem... well, most of it...

No amount of money will fix these attitudes and beliefs.

Google says the Spanish comes from the Arabic muwallad: "person of mixed race."

The irony...

Dear Julia,

Until black lives matter to black people first, there is nothing I can do as a white woman to change your perception of your situation.

That’s why I said 99%.
Because these programs are available to all demographics,
but seem to have affected one in particular more than the others.

Of course, the programs shouldn’t have existed in the first place, thus the 99%.
