Negro's take no responsibility for anything or any aspect of their life or existence & want everything given to them as they also do not want to work for anything.

Those characteristics preclude being a part of normal American society.

So, because if the above, all the programs designed to help them fail.

Until the truth is recognized & actions adjusted accordingly, nothing is going to change.

Rural black communities are pretty much the same.

Honestly I don't think the social programs are designed to help them. I think the programs are designed to keep them where they are and they are working out just fine. If the liberals really cared and wanted to improve their lives, they'd scrap the programs. But the programs have an entrenched dependent class and an entrenched cast of bureaucrat teachers, case workers, policemen, prison guards etc., etc., to cater to them and the bulk of that cast votes lock step democrat election after election.

TLee got it in an e-mail attributing it to the Sun and posted it. There was no malicious intent.

I'm not talking about T. Lee - I'm talking about the people that sent out the email or whoever took it off the blog it was posted on in 2014 and tied it to the Baltimore Sun

They did that to get people to read it. That ruse worked.

The narrative is still spot on.

I guess I take credibility in journalism a little more seriously

Credibility? In journalism? Today?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

The message is dead nuts on target. The fact that it ISN'T published in media today is due to the LACK of credibility in journalism. Oh, and BTW - this would be an op-ed anyway.

The book Guns, Germs and Steel provides an interesting perspective on why sub-Sahara Africans and indigenous Americans (both South and North) were and are so backward compared to Asia and Europe.

Basically, Europe and Asia had 1) more and better indigenous crops that could be adapted to agriculture, which led to 2) more complex societies with larger urban populations, which led to 3) rapid technological development and 4) more infectious diseases. 3 and 4 led to a strong natural selection process in the European and Asian populations and more dynamic societies in which only the more dynamic individuals could thrive. The process, over a period of anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 years or more, changed the population and character of Europe and Asia.

Sub-Saharan Africans did not get the benefit of this selective process. A minority (the special 10% as discussed in the OP) are capable of adapting to the more dynamic European or Asian society model, but the majority are not.

That's the argument, anyway. It makes some sense. But it doesn't account for the fact that black Africans were imported into the UK and other parts of Europe as slaves in the same time frame as America's slaves were imported, but they seem to have assimilated there quite well.

And in the end that leaves us with the question of what to do with all these folks who can't/won't fit into the American social model? I have no idea what the solution is.

The only African American I know is a white man who emigrated to America to get away from the racial strife in South Africa.

There has to be a permanent under class for the democrats to "champion" or they would be out of business.
