I'm certain this rather long essay has been around before. Because it is long, some of you may have not bothered to read it. If you do so now, you may agree with me that it outlines in brutal detail the origins of many of the troubles we now face. For that reason, I forward it again and encourage you to read it now.
If you are EVER to understand why men like Jefferson, Lincoln and others believed that, while there are exceptions (think Sowell, Williams, Ben Carson, Colonel West, Herman Caine and others), it would take a looonnnggg time -- possibly forever -- for black culture (if it can be called that) and white European culture (as transplanted to the New World of the West) to coexist, this long and important essay will help.
And if you STILL think slavery/reparations are the crux of the "problem", this short video may help with that:
Maybe that can be played on the wide screen at one of the many Congressional Racist Caucus’ meetings.
“Blacks became hostile, .demanding [sic] this and demanding that.”
And demanding that their critics use proper punctuation.
“Neighborhoods became dangerous. Schools, newly mixed, encountered The Gap, intractable and immortal, that is the heart and cause of our racial disaster.”
“This censorship possible in the days before the internet.”
What is the cause of writing horrible sentences?
“The country began, though I didn’t recognize it at the time, as n.either [sic] did the country, treating blacks as a different category of humanity who could not be expected to obey the laws and rules or the expectations of civility.”
“Desegregation had not worked, nor integration, nor quotas nor affirmative action nor Head Start.”
Perhaps people should obey the rules of grimmer, punctuation and spelling.
Nope! The rules of “grimmer” are too discouraging for a sunny summer morning!
This discussion took place hundreds of years ago, it is taking place now and will take place hundreds of years into the future.
Yes, the grammar used in that article was rather grim.
I'm suspecting a Win10 issue in dealing with the device drivers of wireless keyboards, among other things.
If that is the case, the writer is not First World.
Racial groups differ in their median IQ.
The sentence above is CRIMETHINK.
As long as it remains crimethink, disparate levels in median income and accomplishment must all be blamed on white racism.
Things will get ugly when welfare systems go bust, and suddenly people without useful skills have to do something to feed themselves.
Perhaps if one understands the gist of an article then maybe one doesn’t need to waste bytes on sentence structure?
PS did you mean grammar or grimmer?
“Education is the keystone of any modern civilization. “
I finally had to stop there. No, the keystone of modern civilization is the nuclear family. It is in that environment that respect for authority and self-discipline is learned. Without this under-pinning, all you get is educated fools.
What has happened to blacks primarily, is socialist thinking; in the US this came packaged in the form of LBJ’s so-called ‘Great Society’ - where fathers were replaced by the state. Generations have now grown up without any understanding of how respect & self-discipline work.
It should be noted that prior to the GS, blacks were tracking with whites in nearly every category (illegitimacy, education, income, etc.).
IMO - the problems with blacks has nothing to do with race and EVERYTHING to do with the victim status given them by the democrat party. How do I know this? Talk to conservatives blacks about the way they were raised.
” Without this under-pinning, all you get is educated fools.”
Lest I be pelted by a multitude of “successful single-mom” anecdotes, I should qualify the above with the word “generally”.
Obviously, there have been single-mo success stories of the highest order. But these are (generally) the exception, rather than the rule - especially where you see generational lapses of an active father being in the home.
sigh... “single-mo” = single-mom
“IMO - the problems with blacks has nothing to do with race . . .”
Sorry Jonno, but you are factually mistaken.
Easily sourced, documented and understood for all who care to look into the history of it.
But you aren’t really interested in facts, are you?
Go right on thinking what you believe.
That’s America, right? We can all have our own opinions;
even if those opinions are totally wrong.
But you can’t have your own facts.
I suspect his typos and grammatical errors might have something to do with the author being almost blind from a VA hospital operation gone wrong, and not having an editor for his blog.
Yep. I suppose if one looked up “PEDANT” in Webster, the faces of some of these folks would appear as examples.
"This problem will never be fixed until we start lynching these hoodlums."
LOL.
Another thought: Suppose FR is slowly being invaded by the libtards who, to reduce the risk of being noticed and BOOTED by JIMROB, simply pick go after spelling, grammar and syntax errors? They’ve been doing precisely that all over the net since their riotous window smashing, car burning, Trump voter bashing and punching antics has really begun to piss us off!!
