It became a convincing argument when money for food only came from the white land owners and KKK, while people kept on starving due to the war destabilization and infrastructure damage.

When blacks started voting in the Old South, the Southerners couldn’t even blame them, they could only blame the Northerners because the idea that blacks can actually vote on their own interests or using their own judgment was so alien, it was rejected as even possible.

Any group of people under Democrat control will begin to resemble such things. It’s almost a law of nature by now.

Isn’t that the essence of tribalism? That it’s up to the chief, not to the indians? (sorry to mix indians in, but enhances rather than harms my point IMO).

Here’s something I wrote on Bill Cosby.

You pay for something you get more of it.

Segregation? Hey Man it’s a job!

All the rest is total, 100% unadulterated BS.

They call it by another name, class warfare I believe, but it’s the same ideology dressed up in different clothes.

Unless the castes are separated, there’s too much chances that they will ally and stick together. The Democrats, at least, cannot have that. And the Leftist alliance is full of factions that don’t like seeing such alliances form as well.

I recognize others have come from similar beginnings and have not prospered. However, in America, for the last 50+ years, those who have not prospered have not prospered because they lack the will to try to achieve a better life. This is true without regard to race, creed, or color. Those people decided to give up and accept the table scrapes. They do not deserve pity. They deserve scorn and ridicule. When the great collapse arrives they will be best served by not showing up on my property.

– Black professionals, and
– Professional blacks.

The black professionals I knew (and know) are folks with whom I worked as well as any, folks I respected as much as any, folks as fine as any, folks I’d be *honored* to have as neighbors and/or as dinner guests.

The professional blacks are the Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jacksons, the Elijah Cummingses, — dare I add Oprah Winfrey (the Oprah Winfreys) to the list now? And I *easily* include among them the present tenants of the White House, both of ’em: professional blacks. Lucrative work, if you can get, and if your principles are decrepit enough.

No more need be said.

Interesting comments. Some are more candid than one would expect in today’s environment.

It’s that “honest discussion about race” that Eric Holder wanted.

Be careful what you wish for, Eric.
