While I detest the whole self-help religion, Dr. Phil actually has a great saying that perfectly illustrates the dilemna the black community finds itself in:
If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.
If the black community continues to (falsely) blame racism as being at the core of it’s problems, then those problems will persist…and only get worse as time passes.
The requisite price of PERSONAL FREEDOM is PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. That’s a simple truth that we non-Leftists inherently understand. Leftists, however, believe that you can have personal freedom without personal responsibility.
Want to see the results of that belief? Take a look at what’s happened to the nation’s black community since the imposition of the Leftist welfare state in the 1960s.
Prior to the welfare state, US blacks had some of the HIGHEST RATINGS amongst ethnic groups in terms of marriage rates, children born into married families, and employment rates and some of the LOWEST RATINGS in terms of out-of-wedlock births and criminality. After the welfare state…well, there’s really no need to say more, is there?
