An excellent review of what external and internal factors have wreaked devastation in the white population of the rust belt where I was born and raised and still reside.
Mention was made in passing of the urban black underclass and here are some of my reflections on that issue.
For me to even raise issues related to race is to be immediately accused of racism. What the fuck, here goes anyway.
It’s far past time for society to quit pandering to the black community and to demand that it take the lead in correcting the problems that the black underclass faces. Here are a few suggestions.
There is a systematic lack of respect for education within that community. Tolerance of disruptive students by black school administrators and lack of effective discipline hinders learning in many black majority schools, stifling students’ potential achievement. The simple answer is to expel repeat offenders so that those who desire to learn can learn.
There is a casual acceptance of criminal behavior within many parts of the black community that results in a failure to cooperate with police in solving crimes. Until this is reversed there will be zero economic development within areas where they live.
Finally, someone must find a way to make all black fathers love and care for their children and especially their boy children. Young black men (15-34) are just 2% of the population and commit about half of the nation’s homicides. A rate fifty times higher than the average American. The lack of a father’s involvement in raising their sons is at the heart of this problem yet no one acknowledges it and seeks answers to it.
Where the hell are the middle and upper class blacks (and especially black politicians) who even publicly acknowledge this problem?
