Making Racism the Problem that Creates What We See is Like Blaming the Moon for Air Pollution

Ask any liberal why there is a cultural collapse in the urban black community that manifests itself in 50% unemployment and you will have the KNEE JERK right away... RACISM.

While I know and recognize racism exists.  While I see the results of that bias.  I know personally hundreds of people in the black community who have not allowed that to keep them from becoming healthy wealthy and wise.

Here are some things that are NOT racist, but are the result of bad policy by misleaders of all stripes.  This evil has been imposed on the Black culture and

It is not racism that has caused the cultural drift we see today from Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech:

1963 births out of wedlock in the black community was 24%  - 2013 it is 72%

Unemployment in the black community 1963 was 10%  -  2013 it is 13.7% (among  urban young it is 50%) 

The average high school graduate from an Urban school has about the same reading, writing and computational ability as a Suburban 8th grader.  IF that child goes to College, they will give him or her classes they won't fail at in order to graduate them.  Yes there are exceptions, in both the suburban and urban schools, but it is very hard to break a cycle when kids are graduating functionally illiterate. A little more than half of all black male students graduate from High School.  What that means is if you hire a young black urban high school graduate you are likely hiring an 8th grader in skill. 

I won't even talk about violence, drugs, alcohol and gangs.  None of  them are the result of racism either.  

When the heroes of a culture are rap stars, athletes and people who game the system, you have nothing for people to aspire to that is even possible.  Heroes in the white community are often business people and entrepreneurs.  They make movies about them... JOBS

I will admit that the lack of employment potential is a crisis...but it's driven internally.

We need a change, not just a hope.  IF Jewish Lawyers, Asian Physicians and Irish musicians are a face we often assign, why can't the face of achievement be black?
