This is what we come from. So understand that whites can end their racism and peace will come to all. Or you can keep this shit up. But know one thing, just like Sis Hamer, we will fight until hell freezes over. And when that day comes, if white refuse to stop, put your ice shoes on, because we will continue to fight on the ice.
“There is very little truth in the old refrain that one cannot legislate equality. Laws not only provide concrete benefits, they can even change the hearts of men—some men, anyhow—for good or evil.”
Thurgood Marshall
Black boys and young men constitute less than 5% of the entire nation’s population, yet they cause 50% of the crime. Say again, who is the problem?
But, but, but it's all Whitey's fault don't Cha know. As long as that go to card is available willy nilly, there will be no end to it.
The root cause of the problems blacks face is white racism.
On October 24, 2013, the Kellogg Foundation sent out a press release about a report they had done entitled, “The Business Case for Racial Equity”. This was a study done by the Kellogg Foundation, using information it had studied and assessed from the Center for American Progress, National Urban League Policy Institute, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies and the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Striving for racial equity – a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity – is a matter of social justice. But moving toward racial equity can generate significant economic returns as well. When people face barriers to achieving their full potential, the loss of talent, creativity, energy, and productivity is a burden not only for those disadvantaged, but for communities, businesses, governments, and the economy as a whole. Initial research on the magnitude of this burden in the United States (U.S.), as highlighted in this brief, reveals impacts in the trillions of dollars in lost earnings, avoidable public expenditures, and lost economic output.”

Blacks did not create these problems.
In 2011, DEMOS did a study named “The Racial Wealth Gap, Why Policy Matters”, which discussed the racial wealth gap, the problems associated with it along with solutions and outcomes if the gap did not exist. In this study DEMOS determined that the racial wealth gap was primarily driven by policy decisions.
“The U.S. racial wealth gap is substantial and is driven by public policy decisions. According to our analysis of the SIPP data, in 2011 the median white household had $111,146 in wealth holdings, compared to just $7,113 for the median Black household and $8,348 for the median Latino household. From the continuing impact of redlining on American homeownership to the retreat from desegregation in public education, public policy has shaped these disparities, leaving them impossible to overcome without racially-aware policy change.”
Blacks did not create these problems either.
Sounds like one agenda ends due to burn out, to only lead into another one conjured up quickly before the old one grows cold. Your problem is that the generational change has shifted so fast that it's leaving many of the old players with no place to cry or go anymore. Otherwise the show is over, and the film is being changed. Time to start the new movie that is staring new and informed characters.
