Successes of Black Americans: Not Enough

In USA Black Citizen's Successes: Ten Percent Is Not Enough
***
 The following is a report from 2014; I hesitate to send this out fearing that I'll be accused of 'racism!' I'm not a racist, I want all people to succeed and live in harmony. This report has a lot of truth; if you disagree with information presented; please inform me of errors - because as far as I can see, this is precisely what's taking place in America today. -- Annette

9-23-14, * -- For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an experiment; the subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: “Can a people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?”
 
The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements. In 1863 acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors and America has struggled with racial discord ever since.
 
Decade after decade the problems persisted; but the experimenters never gave up insisting that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work! They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards and endless hand wringing to close the “achievement gap.”  Their new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable concocting program after program and:

1. the Freedman’s Bureau [2]
2. passed civil rights laws
3. tried to build the Great Society
4. declared War on Poverty
5. ordered race preferences
6. built housing projects
7. midnight basketball
8. National Guard troops called in to enforce school integration
9. outlawed freedom of association
10. white & black children were put on buses sending them them to black schools & vice versa
11. to keep white backlash in check, public and even private statements on race were punished.
12. Orwellian public banners were posted commanding whites to:

• “Celebrate Diversity!”
• “Say No To Racism!”

Nothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment. In 1903 some thought that what W.E.B. DuBois called the Talented Tenth [3] would lead the way for black people. A group of elite, educated blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable of! -->

<-- There is a Talented Tenth: Black Americans who are talented and educated who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists are approximately ten percent of their population. A tenth is not enough.

For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who will attend and graduate from schools, hold jobs and promote social stability. That’s what’s missing. Through the decades too many American cities have failed:

1. Detroit is bankrupt
2. the south side of Chicago is a war zone
3. majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence
4. Fatherless homes - the odds of living in poverty are great where children live in single-parent homes: the increase in out-of-wedlock black baby births is staggering [4]

The white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed; we just have to try harder. We need:

• more money
• more time
• more understanding
• more programs
• more opportunities

However, nothing changes no matter how much money is spent,  how many laws are passed, how many black geniuses are portrayed on TV and no matter who is president. Some argue:

• it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around.
• and blame “white privilege” however, since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India– those people who also are not white, not rich, and not “connected”– quietly - and in great numbers - have succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT tests - black “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime – that includes viciously punching random white people on the street just for the thrill of it ... that has nothing to do with poverty.​

~~~
​THE “EXPERIMENT” HAS FAILED
The experiment has failed not because of culture, white privilege or racism. The fundamental problem is white people and black people are different and the differences result in a large social incompatibility.

Our rulers don’t seem to understand:

• just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment
• that white people aren’t out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses and reflexive animosity
• that white people are not racists – they are just frustrated as most of the efforts and attempts to placate and encourage the successes of all black people has resulted in a small percentage being educated and successful ... with still more rioting

Too often blacks don’t take responsibility for their failures; instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across generations and the country, as seen in Detroit, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Ferguson & more, there’s violent rioting, vandalism, looting and killing that are just one racial incident away. The elite liberal leftists explain everything with “racism,” refusing to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.
