Please Help The Black Community... (Condoleezza Rice, generation, ethics, Simpson)

[TheWiseWino]

I've read that African Americans should straighten out our own problems and I genuinely believe there is a great deal of truth in that statement, but since we haven't come up with a workable solution, I was wondering if white people would be so kind as to tell us how white people solved the problems of violence, guns, criminality, unwed mothers and welfare dependency amongst white people.

While I am patiently await your suggestions, let me just say thank you in advance.

Ethics. Get some.

Whites aren't perfect. No race is. But their percentage of imperfection in regards to poverty, unwed births, violence, etc. is significantly lower given their percentage of the population.

My all-time favorite quote:

"It's not burn baby burn, but learn baby learn, so that you can earn baby earn." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I've never understood why the African-American community didn't/doesn't take that advice. It's exactly what I taught my kids. And they learned. And they now earn, BIG time.

The best way to do this would be to copy the success of especially the Jewish and Asian mothers whose children are elevating themselves in life.

Copy success, it exists greatly in the black community with Oprah, Bill Cosby, OJ Simpson and of course Ben Carson, Herman Cain and Condoleezza Rice.

Oh, so I see you haven't resolved these issues and don't have any specific advise.

Never the less, thank you for responding.

You are saying this as if there arent different economic situations in this nation.

2 people with the same goals do not necessarily have the same opportunity to achieve those goals.

Resolved? No. Much lower percentage, comparatively? Yes.

It's good advice. Why do you feel compelled to reject it?

Sigh...

You do realize the black Americans today are much better off educationally and economically since the 1960s right? Even with all our "imperfections."

Also white and black social ills cannot be equally measured against each other since both groups did not have equal educational and economic conditions due to detriment felt by black Americans as a result of societal racism.

Select an emotionally stable mate with a higher than average IQ or get a vascectomy.

Sorry, I haven't found that to be true. My husband and I were so poor when we were newlyweds that we lived in a dive of an apartment that only heated up to 59 degrees in the cold Chicago winters. We were really poor, then. We're not, now. And there are millions more just like us who have similar experiences. If acquiring wealth were so hard, how have so many of us been able to do so? 80% of US millionaires are first-generation wealthy.

Can you document where anyone claimed to have "solved the problems of violence, guns, criminality, unwed mothers and welfare dependency amongst white people"?

I'll patiently wait for your source.
