Socialist Thought Has Crippled Black America

Yeah and the result is just the opposite. When are they going to wake up?

[Ohioan]

The fact is that White Fabian Socialists founded the NAACP, with only the part Negro W.E.B Dubois involved with them in the early years. DuBois was a Marxist, later an avowed Communist. One of the motives was to derail the progress that Booker T. Washington was making, lifting his people by the same methods (self-improvement, individual responsibility, etc.) that had worked for every other folk who had ever progressed upon the earth.

The fact is that the Socialists, both Marxist & Fabian, have deliberately exploited gullible minorities as revolutionary tinder, with little or no concern for the terrible damage they were doing to the social infra-structure of those they claimed to be concerned over.

The "Civil Rights" movement was the most successful gambit from that perspective. Correspondingly, it did more to undermine personal responsibility--the key to all real social progress--in the process.

Small wonder. Socialism and black victimology go together hand-in-glove.

[Paleo Conservative]

Unfortunately, at best the MSM and leftist establishment ignores black conservatives. Worse they ridicule and attack them.

No, you don’t get it. You imply the problem is with blacks themselves, as though the failure of blacks is reflected everywhere they exist. This is not true.

I would not ask your question.

I would ask, why do US born blacks struggle and fail in such great numbers when blacks who immigrate from Africa do so well in the USA. The difference is - black immigrants follow capitalist ideals, going to school, studying hard, and working hard to apply themselves in the workforce. They succeed.

The US born ghetto blacks are told they are victims and to not study, “don’t be white”, and take a generation of handouts. They are trapped and miserable following the socialist demands of the race hucksters like Van Jones and remain useful idiots of the Dem party.

Black immigrants who follow capitalism quickly move into the middle class in a generation or less. I know a man who immigrated 30 years ago from Cameroon, now living in the San Francisco bay area. Most of the white couples I know can’t afford a house before their mid 30s. By his mid-30s, he not only had a home, but he had a 4-plex rental unit as well.

Blacks in the US who work hard generally succeed and become middle class or better. It is the ones who sit home on the dole via socialism, as they are told to do, that fail in the USA.

Are blacks better off today than in the 1950's?

How would the black community be today if millions had not been aborted?

Who has done more harm to American blacks? KKK or Lyndon Johnson/Ted Kennedy

Will blacks be better off ten years from now?

Why do blacks not notice the great wealth of men like Jesse Jackson?

Why do whites and asians not have "leaders" who speak for us?

Why do black athletes and entertainment celebs not speak out against the slavery of socialism/quotas/affirmative action?

Why are blacks so gullible?

How is it we spend upwards of $120,000 per student on K-12 and yet so many blacks have no marketable skills?

With TV and the internet how can blacks NOT understand that they can make a terrific life for themselves thru their own efforts?

I just don't get it.

>>>Marxist dogma says blacks cannot be racists because they lack power...<<<

I also run into this belief with many Native Americans.

In fact, the core of much racism is the idea that people of one race has power over people of another race. The Klan was formed out of the belief that the newly-freed slaves would somehow run rampant over the defeated Confederates. The National Socialist thought they were victims of a Jewish cabal. Victimhood and racist thought are often linked.

In fact, the most viciously racist people I’ve met in the past 20 years have all been black. (Which is not to imply that all blacks are racist.) Now, that’s just my experience, but you’d think that the supposedly white power structure would have somehow whispered in my ear privately about their distaste for minorities. Instead, the only racist voices I hear come from the minorities themselves.

I call such folks “skin color fetishists.” I also call them out on their racism whenever I hear it. It doesn’t make me popular, but what the hell.

No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts. - Booker T. Washington

Does this sound like someone we know? who now has attained a postion strickly because of his color, definitely not on merit or effort, who seems to be having trouble doing the work required in that position.

“Socialist Godlessly Secular Marxist Thought Has Crippled America”

There fixed it!

My guess it that W.E.B. DuBois, Ralph Langston Hughes, Paul Robeson, Ralph Ellison, Martin Luther King Jr., Bobby Rush, Frantz Fanon, Chauncey DeVega, Sharpton, and Jackson, were all educated in socialist modeled, collectivist, voter mob ( school board) managed government schools. Schools that were fundamentally secular and therefore godless in their worldview.

If our nation's children are educated for generations (since the mid 1800s) in schools that are socialist, collectivist, voter mob managed, and fundamentally godlessly secular in their worldview we should not be surprised that they see the government as their Redeemer and Savior. We should **expect** that they bow down and worship the false idol of communism.
