What are the Largest Problems Preventing Black Advancement in the United States?
I just picked one … The Legacy of Slavery and Jim Crow … Because it pretty much accounts for all the others, or the problems people associate with the others.
Racism, culture, political policies, family status and social programs are not restricted to blacks as a sole beneficiary or victim.
What sets the black community apart from others is their legacy as slaves and the wrongs perpetrated under Jim Crow legislation.
Two wrongs established and brought down on the black community so long ago that the guilty are dead and gone or at least out of power … Are the primary reason the black community has to demand any special treatment whatsoever.
We cannot change history and it is a problem that cannot be fixed … The people who benefit from the windfall have the perfect excuse for their behavior and demands.
The people they have a grievance against are no longer present to answer the charges … And so it is essentially a “blank check” for societal reparations.
Failure to comply or acquiesce gets you labeled as an abuser or worse ... Sensibility is replaced by the convoluted notion that something is owed beyond what is essentially a true equality.
The Justice Department still monitors local school districts in several locations … And sets criteria for eligible hires in regards to racial demographics.
Then they bitch and complain when the school systems cannot perform at an acceptable level … Blame families that move out of poor performing schools, taking better test scores with them … And then bus the children right back into the failing schools.
The whole time … Racial Quotas are put before the better interests of the children … And nothing can be said about it because white people owned black slaves more than a century ago … And then were asshole up until 1965.
That is just one example … And nothing will ever change until people take responsibility for themselves … Meet whatever challenges are before them fair or unfair … And strive to excel without the desire to accept any excuse otherwise.
