Black People Duped

Posted By Walter Williams

People in the media and academia are mostly l*****ts hellbent on growing government and controlling our lives. Black people, their politicians and civil rights organizations have become unwitting accomplices. The l*****t pretense of concern for the well-being of black people confers upon them an aura of moral superiority and, as such, gives more credibility to their calls for increasing government control over our lives.

Ordinary black people have been sold on the importance of electing b****s to high public office. After centuries of black people having been barred from high elected office, no decent American can have anything against their wider participation in our political system. For several decades, b****s have held significant political power, in the form of being mayors and dominant forces on city councils in major cities such as Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington, Memphis, Tenn., Atlanta, Baltimore, New Orleans, Oakland, Calif., Newark, N.J., and Cincinnati. In these cities, b****s have held administrative offices such as school superintendent, school principal and chief of police. Plus, theres the precedent-setting fact of there being 44 black members of Congress and a black president.

What has this political power meant for the significant socio-economic problems faced by a large segment of the black community? Clearly, it has done little or nothing for academic achievement; the number of black students scoring proficient is far below the national average. It is a disgrace and ought to be a source of shame to know that the average white seventh- or eighth-grader can run circles around the average black 12th-grader in most academic subjects. The political and education establishment tells us that the solution lies in higher budgets, but the fact of business is that some of the worst public school districts have the highest spending per student. Washington, D.C., for example, spends more than $29,000 per student and scores at nearly the bottom in academic achievement.

Each year, roughly 7,000 and as high as 9,000 b****s are murdered.

Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Contrast this with the fact that black fatalities during the Korean War (3,075), Vietnam War (7,243) and wars since 1980 (about 8,200) total about 18,500. Young black males have a greater chance of reaching maturity on the battlefields than on the streets of Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland, Newark and other cities. Black political power and massive city budgets have done absolutely nothing to ameliorate this problem of black insecurity.

Most of the problems faced by the black community have their roots in a black culture that differs significantly from the black culture of yesteryear. Today only 35 percent of black children are raised in two-parent households, but as far back as 1880, in Philadelphia, 75 percent of black children were raised in two-parent households and it was as high as 85 percent in other places. Even during s***ery, in which marriage was forbidden, most black children were raised with two biological parents. The black family managed to survive several centuries of s***ery and generations of the harshest r****m and Jim Crow, to ultimately become destroyed by the welfare state. The black family has fallen victim to the vision fostered by some intellectuals that, in the words of a sociology professor in the 1960s, it has yet to be shown that the absence of a father was directly responsible for any of the supposed deficiencies of broken homes. The real issue to these intellectuals is not the lack of male presence but the lack of male income. That suggests that fathers can be replaced by a welfare check. The weakened black family gives rise to problems such has high crime, predation and other forms of anti-social behavior.

The cultural problems that affect many black people are challenging and not pleasant to talk about, but incorrectly attributing those problems to r****m and racial discrimination, a need for more political power, and a need for greater public spending condemns millions of b****s to the degradation and despair of the welfare state.

What the black community needs is dignity and hope. There is great dignity in every black person. No one can touch the dignity that abides in every person. The only thing you can do is to convince the person that he does not have dignity. When a person does not believe that he has dignity, he will not act in a dignified manner. If he believes in his own dignity and honor, he may respond to the world with that, and no one can take it away from him. The world and a lot of people in it have a lot of influence, but the ultimate control of a person's character and actions reside in the person. Influence is just that. It is not control. When a person allows it to be such, that person gives away something which is core to his being. When one truly believes in his own dignity and acts accordingly, it is a tremendous source of hope. It may take a long time, but hope never fails. Hope keeps the belief alive. Remember the old saying: "T***h just is. Lies have to be invented."

The very first step is to convince them that they are not black. I don't think Americans quite understand that the worst thing ever done to these people was to label them black and then convince them to believe it.

Walter Williams is a great Black man but, why do the B****s always call him uncle tom, whitey, c*****r and other names. B****s are always bring someone down rather than giving them up lift. Have you notice ever time a Black person has great success and has done good for himself the B****s start talking bad about them. How come???? Why is it that B****s don't like to celebrate their success? Why don't other B****s see their success and try to copy it??
B****s will always be poor until they except success. B****s have to up lift themselves, you cannot wait for someone else to up lift you because, it won't happen. Welfare will never lift you up, welfare will always keep you poor. What will it take for B****s to see that there is a better life and greater success if they change the way they act, conduct themselves, function and behaved. B****s have been duped ever sense 1964 and they should be mad as hell at the Democrat Party, it is the Democrat Party that keeps them down and not able to become part of the America Sociality.

It is progressive policies over the last 130 years which have caused this loss of dignity. Several generations of b****s have been told by white liberals and black poverty pimps that the deck is stacked against them, that they are not smart enough to make it on their own, that the only way for them to have anything is for some democrat politician to give it to them. If you hear that long and often enough, you will believe it. Again, I say the solution is to end progressive policies in this Republic. Expect better of them and they will not disappoint.

My wife will testify to that, from a young child she was lead to believe she couldn't do the things while children could, then at 19 she decided why not break this so-called mold, that's what more b****s need to decide for themselves.

Perhaps I should mention black unemployment, which is twice that of white. Do b****s even realize that the Democrat immigration plan, supported by their so-called anointed savior, will, via legalization and increased immigration quotas, over the next decade, bring 3 non-agricultural foreign workers, (almost all Hispanic) into this country for every 4 Americans who turn 18? What do they think their unemployment rate will be then?

Some b****s realize this but the takers don't and don't care. The younger generation doesn't care as probably 6 out of 10 don't want to work anyway.

saveamerica: If you look back into history the same people who brought us the ACLU, and several other progressive organizations like the NAACP have always had a hidden agenda to keep the black man down. using their demigods like Sharpton, Jackson. Walter Williams said during the first Reagan administration; I participated in a number of press conferences on either a book or article Id written or as a panelist in a discussion of White House public policy. On occasion, when the question-and-answer session began, Id tell the press, You can treat me like a white person. Ask hard, penetrating questions. The remark often brought uncomfortable laughter, but I was dead serious. If there is one general characteristic of white liberals, its their condescending and demeaning attitude toward b****s.
