The rate of black on black murder is appalling, the rate of black high school drop out is appalling and the rate of black women giving birth to multiple fathers is appalling. The welfare program of the Great society totally negated the value of the black male in black families. There are legitimate black role models trying to address this, but they get shouted down as Uncle Tom's or Aunt Jemima's by the professional poverty pimps, both white and black in the Democrat party. The black welfare class are "slaves" to the democrat's welfare system to the detriment of all society. The victim mentality that many blacks have no longer plays in Peoria. The only good news I've seen is that the black middle class is growing at a good clip. We can only hope this trend continues.

Amen, captamerica. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et. al., are the biggest slaveowners in American history, and the welfare state these fools support is the nation's largest plantation. But whatever the real issues are, it's ALL BUSH'S FAULT!

I remember when my sociology professor from my first semester at college told me that blacks commit approximately double the number of hate crimes against whites as whites do against blacks. My jaw almost hit the floor, not because I didn't believe it but because he actually came out and said it.

In fact, take those numbers and adjust them for population percentages and you'll get a very strange picture. Those who play the race card the most are the ones most guilty of the crimes through which they claim victimhood. It's an odd world of up-is-downism.

When people like Bill Cosby come out and say the truth, they get shot down. It's easier to be a victim than to break the cycle.

If it makes me a racist for saying such things, then so be it. The same principle applies to all races, though, which is more than I can say for anybody who places the race card. And I wonder, would I still be a racists if I said I was black? I guess I'd be reduced to an Aunt Jemimah then, which goes to show that race has nothing to do with it.

The black community is tearing itself apart, and it's so sad. Their potential is practically unlimited if they would only rise up and seize it.
