I know a fantastic black guy. Parents were from Africa, their parents lived a hard life and came to America. His dad worked his dick off and became a doctor and they live a very privileged life. He's one of the better people I know in general.

But I agree, people like my friend are largely the exception and it's really a shame. And the problem is so complex. It's cultural, educational... I think that on the whole they're extremely redeemable but we need to start thinking about this as more of a cultural problem and figure out a way to make it 'cool' to better themselves, instead of insulting one another and calling anyone seeking success uncle tom.

We need to stop being hateful and start finding a solution to the problem. Just my two cents though. I don't see any other way the situation can improve.

I did have about three beers by the time I'd written that, but upon rereading, I still feel the same. I think there's a non-violent answer.

Multiculturalism is an inherently flawed concept. Most people don't get that despite it being evident at a glance anywhere you go that isn't culturally homogenous(most anywhere that isn't Japan for example). It's an ingrained human instinct to gather among one's own type. The same drive that causes us to form into families, clans and tribes is no different than the drive that causes us to divide by race, religion and creed.

Consider how black families were when everything was segregated. Economically, they suffered, got their asses kicked by the cops, and there was the KKK of course. But at the same time, their family structure was sound. You didn't have Keisha with five baby-daddies for her five kids sitting on her ass collecting welfare, and Tyrone fucking around with crack and stealing cars. They stuck together, and fiercely kept to their own, much like whites and most every other race did at the time. Desegregation in a legal sense was a fine idea; they didn't need literal boundaries to begin with since we'd all have kept to our own for the most part anyway. But forcing integration was the worst cultural mistake in United States history, and we'll be paying for it for decades to come. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sort of "neo-segregationist" movement when these problems just keep on getting worse.

When they kidnap you for torture, just explain your reasoning, I'm sure a bunch of nig-nogs will listen.

Or maybe spare us your moralizing and wake up to the fact they are fucking animals that were one step in the evolutionary chain to what we are today - and should be treated like savage relics that they are.

Isn't that what we've been trying to do for the last 60 yrs or so?

If we have, I couldn't tell. You think Common Core is fixing the problem? I don't. I think every 'solution' we come up with exacerbates the issue.
