What you describes can be characterized as “A Conquest.” You know; “to the victors belong the spoils,” “Woe to the conquered!” etc. We formed this nation, expanded it and governed it. Under false doctrines we are at present busy surrendering the governance of our nation into the hands of “The Third World”. All without a fight! The “The West” will be the only civilization in history to be conquered solely by means of words.
“Is it within the capacity of black Americans to make it in this society without the special favors variously called racial preferences, quotas, affirmative action and race-sensitive policies?”
It’s frustrating that we even have to ask such a question. Of course, it’s within the capacity of black PEOPLE to do as well as anyone else. But the current so-called black CULTURE discourages it.
Before the end of segregation, many cities had thriving black societies, proof positive that they could do it. The whiners who say it can’t be done without special favors really need to see things like the documentary on the Pittsburgh Hill District.
“If the civil rights establishment and the progressives have their way, blacks will have to rely on special privileges in perpetuity.”

No kidding!
It’ll never end.
Jesse Lee Peterson, who’s black and works, I think, to uplift black men, used to say that if black people ran things, it’d take 20 years for them to destroy America. But he’s revised that and now thinks they could do it only 10 years.
...pretty sad, huh?!
In any event, what about an Obama, a black child of privilege his entire life, should give anyone hope that people like him can keep America going?
Black football players don’t get special allowances for poor performance. They have to work as hard as the other players, because winning is the standard teams work for. Affirmative Action and charity work exactly opposite as to how professional sports teams work, and they get opposite types of results, with some exceptions.

I read the headline as flavors. Didn’t make sense. Read it as flavors again. Rinse, repeat, repeat... Finally read the article. Oh, favors. That makes more sense. Well, no, not more sense...
In the same manner that abortion clinics help perpetuate rape, statuatory rape, and incest; affirmative action perpetuates a minority underclass.
You could find Jamal drunk, fell off his forklift which slammed into a steel column, sound asleep on the floor, and when brought to an awake state announced he was going home for FMLA reasons because his wife needs help getting to the bathroom.
And yes folks, that really happened.
Amen.
I know of one player who is going to get special allowances.
Bump for the incomparable and outstanding Dr. Walter E. Williams.
Amen, Dr. Williams.
The whiners who say it can’t be done without special favors....
The whiners or their enablers are usually the ones picking the citizens pockets.
I work with many capable people of all races, many have expressed their frustration being grouped or labelled by pols out to line their (pols)coffers.
Many are also, as expressed elsewhere on this thread, embarrassed that co-workers think they have their position only through AA.
They need it if they want to be kept on the plantation
