Voting Democrat is a form of ‘racism’ because the policies are job killers and often immoral like abortions which kill many black babies. Liberals are blind and need the waking up instead.
I’d settle for black people waking up before noon.
oday’s Dream is that white America will somehow wake up and understand that racism makes black America’s problems insurmountable.
I was brought up to be feel that blacks had gotten a raw deal in the past, and to be careful to be open-minded about the black people I met.
Now, a couple of generations later, after many observations, I’m more prejudiced than ever.
I can still relate just find to individual blacks, but like Jesse Jackson, I’ve drawn conclusions about the averages, in my case based on personal experience.
So voting for the black president twice didn’t fix all the ‘racial issues’?
For the most part normal people understand that the majority of the black community is racist far beyond the wildest fever-dreams of Malcom-X.
They are correct about calling out the war on drugs....it is their war, their drugs and the bodies piled up around them are the fruits of their failed social engineering.
Free markets and free enterprise benefit all freeman. That is the strength and truly most liberating aspect of a people who are neither dependent on or being manipulated through a tyrannical government.
Americans used to know this until the corroptocrats, aided by the drug pushers (media), began their doping campaigns.
If they’re really that freakin’ unhappy here, then move to the Caribbean or Africa where their race is much less a factor. Seriously, love it or leave it. Take your problems and opportunities elsewhere, then you don’t have whites or Asians to blame or hate anymore.
Just do it.
“3. Long-Acting Reproductive Contraceptives should be given free to poor black women”
Well, let’s make it good for at least 50 years and mandatory. Problem solved./s
Black Americans need to stop waiting for Whitey to save them and just work to save themselves. Look at how many minority groups have come to America and in a couple of generations blended right in and achieved the American dream. I grew up in South Florida and saw first-hand what the Cubans did. Until blacks stop making excuses for their failures, nothing will change. I guess it is easier to blame and complain than to work to achieve something.
I tried to read this yesterday and just found it so rambling I gave up. But I’m glad I looked at this thread. I still didn’t read the whole piece, but I did read his suggestions at the end.
2 and 4 are excellent and should be realized and adopted by everyone, not just black people.
The failure to educate poor and working class children is a great failure on the part of unionized public schools. It’s a three generation (at least) disgrace. That whole system needs to be torn out root & branch. OK, you can keep the buildings but everything, and every one, else needs to go.
Drugs, education, consequence-free sex, and education. Interesting list. I’d revise it slightly, personally.
I cut hims more slack than many black/liberal commentators, as he has been very reasonable in the past. He seems to have drifted left, though, which is disturbing.
John McWhorter's NOT clueless... he's right about it being a waste of time waiting for white people to 'get racism' as defined by black extremist. It's not gonna happen.
Equal before the law is as good as it's gonna get...
Refugees from Vietnam didn't expect Americans to 'understand' their pain... they settled in, built business, and earned their way into American society. Same with Cuban refugees,Koreans, Mexicans who came here legally, and all the rest of us.... Same path...
Democrats gin up black anger and feelings of entitlement because it works for them - it keeps blacks on the Democrat Plantation. It also separates blacks from being acceptable. Democrats are attempting to do the same with Hispanics - but Hispanics aren't falling for it. This morning a Hispanic women on CNN talked about how horrible 'Sanctuary Cities' were - and how they should be shut down. She didn't buy into being pitted against Americans who want secure borders. She wasn't willing to be played...
Democrats know the stuff they're pushing blacks to demand isn't acceptable to the rest of us. That's part of the strategy. Democrats don't want blacks assimilated. They don't want Hispanics assimilated either... but Hispanics aren't falling for it...
And factory jobs within a bus ride? If industrial jobs come back democrats have lined up millions of illegals to take those jobs. Blacks are only going to get government jobs (those mostly to black women) because those jobs HELP democrats. It's another way democrats pit blacks against the rest of the racial groups in the United States.
Again, John McWhorter's NOT clueless... he's even right on some of the 'education' issues. Thanks for the post Second...

So attacking whites randomly in packs and gangs is just an attempt to wake us up to racism ? Who’s racism ?
He’s right that there’s a second shoe left to drop. The first shoe was whites shedding their racism, which has already happened. The second is for blacks to rise to the occasion and get their act together. “Structural racism” does not exist. What does exist is a recognition by whites and other races that blacks haven’t gotten their act together yet. The instant they do get it together is the instant they will be perceived the way they want to be perceived. It also will be the end of the Democrat party as we know it.
Funny how that “structural” racism he alludes to in his article hasn’t kept the other two major non-White ethnic groups, Asians and Hispanics, from succeeding in this country.
