that is how I read the story, too.
did you see the National Review columnist who said that subset of the white population—that culture—deserves to die?
Infuriating.
Yes, I read it. Very arrogant -- and infuriating. Had he said that about inner-city blacks, he would have been fired.
And these are people who served in our army, work on our lands, etc. Such ingratitude.
I do think, however, that that society will have to be restructured, like the ghetto blacks. Bill Clinton dismissively said they need college. IMHO, they might need some vocational retraining or higher education, though not necessarily college. Also, religious & other traditional institutions must be reinstated. Same with the blacks. Without external structure, both groups are headed toward decadence.
