The argument that CRT people make is that generational wealth was deprived from black people because tactics were used to keep them out of neighborhoods with nice houses and/or many banks did not want to provide them with mortgages. This is called redlining and it didn’t just happen to black people. Jews and many others had these issues too. While the other ethnic groups on average have grown into middle class society, the crutch of Affirmative Action and endless welfare checks have simply caused the creation of overpopulated drug ghettos.
Cute. You’ve been talking about what would be better for black people and how they should abandon their community and now you accuse me of speaking for black people.
But sure, the vast majority black people who all have a culture that Thomas Sowell hates agree with him. Logical. I don’t see how I never saw that before.
I think most black people want to fix the criminal anti-education elements of their culture that are keeping them all down. In the same vein, I hope for the Hasids to abandon their culture of collective trauma ghettos because they make my culture look really bad. Also, the whole thing in Israel. 😬 I prefer my government without a side of religion.
Have been reading all the classic political literature including Plato’s Republic, Locke’s Treatises, De Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, etc. and they all promote seperation of church and state. They also recognize that colonialism can be damaging. Also, that the way that a society deals with inheritance dictates a lot of things. Lastly that education and a culture of caring about your community and quality work ethic are key.
To summarize, the writings over the past 2k+ years are still easier to read than I could have possibly imagined and the context repeats itself over and over again. It’s pretty crazy. It always says that cultures that value education and work ethic succeed. Sowell mentions that the cultures that act as the middleman between different economies become the most prosperous, but also are the scapegoats when things aren’t looking too good. The blacks that I have hired come from backgrounds that prize education. They are liberal, but follow Sowell’s principles. They have learned the tough engineering skills that I’ve taught them, but have a knack for dealing with our customers with a human touch that I can’t always bring to the table. I’m just saying that more people need to adopt their version of the culture.
It is logical to conclude that any person would want to give up aspects of their culture that cause themselves harm. You are correct though that I can’t say one way or the other, but if it is the other, then they are the ones to blame for their continued subjugation.
Sowell does indicate that HBCU’s ran better before the liberals let black people actually run them. They originally were run with white northern values and were getting very high marks. When liberals “freed” them from white oversight and told them to reintroduce southern black culture as if it were their original native culture, everything went downhill.

This has nothing to do with what we’re discussing. You clearly have nothing further to add.
I successfully defended my source and his notions. That’s what I contributed. He’s a champion of the black community. People should listen to him.
Sure he is. Weird how few black people you will find that accept him as their champion. Pretty much only the Republican ones.
Are you even black or just speaking for all of them?

Weren’t you the one accusing me of speaking for all black people? What did you just do?
