I have observations about the break down in black culture in the U.S. but first a comment about whites.
1. Not from personal experience but because I have three sons who are blond and very light eyed... I have to stick up for their manliness. I can tell you right now people of all races have what must be a genetic reaction to light blond hair and blue eyes or light green eyes. I have no doubt women find those traits manly. In fact it starts early. My 8 year old son is already being chased by girls in 2nd and third grade. It is borderline out of control and pisses off some of his 2nd grade friends.
2. Blacks in america have been dealt some tough cards. Our middle class's wealth was created by the post WWII housing boom which blacks were redlined out of.
3. Also, employment protection laws make it very expensive for small business owners to hire blacks. Especially in California where wealth and business ideas are incubated.
4. Quotas and other protections like affirmative action makes middle class resentful of blacks. Rich white people on the whole do not care about the color of persons skin - they just want to see that the person fits in. A well spoken educated black guy dressed in a button down and brooks brothers suit who speaks well and wears eye glasses has many open doors. But in my opinion employment protection laws increase prejudice in ares where blacks feel it the most.
5. David Stockman an economist who worked for Nixon wrote a book in the early eighties showing and predicting that welfare would marginalize black men, making them unnecessary as providers and cause a break down of black families and culture.
His prediction have proven out.
6. Prior to the civil rights movement there was a black entrepreneurial class that thrived. Many cities had areas where black business were patronized by blacks. When blacks got equal rights they exercised those rights by shopping in formerly white businesses... Messing up black business for 40 years.
The list goes on.
No doubt a great deal of blame should now be placed on black leadership. They maintain their power blocks by keep blacks thinking the wrong way. I think blaming slavery is stupid. Blacks should be blaming liberal whites politicians for being stupid and black leaders for being stupid and corrupt.
In short red lining and liberal paternalistic views towards blacks have helped contribute to the break down in black culture and black self reliance. I believe all people are responsible for their choices as individuals, I blame liberal programs for our problems as a society.
