It's a really funny issue in the usa and nobody wants to tell the truth.
I love the way that the GOP tries to accuse the left of having bigotry of low expectations.
But if you have much experience with blacks...it's stupid not to have low expectations.
The gop likes to pretend that every black person is a potential Thomas Sowell.
Sorry. Thomas Sowell is what is known as an outlier. And in fact he is overhyped anyway. He wouldn't have a tenth of his fame if he was a white guy saying the same fairly obviois crap.[/quote]
I am an avid reader of Thomas Sowell having read about 20 of his books. That's less than half! I've read his column for years. It wasn't until 2015 when I heard he was being considered for a Nobel Prize in Economics (the first Black American to do so) I even realized he WAS black. I have two young girls in my life who I raised like they were my daughters and they consider me in many ways to be like a father. I can assure you there is little difference in intellectual capacity having raised other children as well, both biological and unrelated. There don't even appear to be differences in sensibilities or character. By all accounts they are no different than individuals might be expected to be. They have different likes and dislikes characteristic of all races. One has a particular dislike for chocolate covered cherries while the other loves them. Other than that they are just kind and loving individuals with no peculiarities or character flaws one could consider resultant of race. They have the same wants and desires as anyone else. You really are just way off base with all this NAZI racism stuff.
This is not to say one should ignore issues which are glaringly apparent in the black communities. This is NOT due to race. It is due to cultural differences and learned behavior. Blacks are taught they are discriminated against and in many cases told they have no chance to get ahead even if they try. They are all too often told they are "held back" by Whites so why try. The media constantly blames any failings on racism. Our failed education system and often their own parents do likewise in many cases. Young Black children are criticized and made fun of if they attempt to do well in school. In many inner city neighborhoods Black children are afraid to be seen carrying their school books home for instance. If they do they are teased, sometimes violently abused and harassed, and/or called Uncle Toms, etc. There is no racist system on Earth (not even those promoted by the KKK) more effective at preventing our young Black citizens from succeeding than the one the Black culture has created itself.
