None of these are "steps" these are 5 initiatives. None of these can be "done" by completing some tasks or checking boxes. These are cultural and generational issues that take way more time than anyone is willing to commit to change.



Then blacks should stop complaining since they won't put in the work.

Living in Atlanta I didn't see this. shite the guys on the Hawks had huge houses. So did Tony Braxton.

best way to get rid of crime in black neighborhoods is to get rid of black neighborhoods.
the government literally made it illegal for black people to live near white people for generations but I’m sure you already knew that is how black neighborhoods came to exist in the first place.

Really? What homes were constructed to replace the homes and businesses of black people that the government basically stole to construct the interstate in Atlanta? Of course they chose black neighborhoods to destroy for the interstate instead of white ones. Pure coincidence I’m sure.

It hasn't been like this for generations now.

You have to be a retard if you think the interstates only go through black neighborhoods.




They built a highway in Lafayette that took my grandparents business and bankrupted my family. We left the fricking state.

How would you explain "Little Italy"? "Chinatown"? "Little Havana"?

Noticed he left out religion. Not surprising considering he’s an academic. I supposed it could still be attached to No 2 & 5. Seems it used to be more prominent in black culture although mostly in the rural South. But I think if MLK were alive today he’d be closer to these views than something like BLM.

They cannot be reformed as a people. They lack the moral principles that civilized people share across the world. They also harbor a deep seeded hatred of white people. There is no country in the world in which black people as a whole dont make up the majority of violent crime offenders. The truth hurts, but its still the truth.

You may as well ask for a pet unicorn. It's a lost cause. Anyone who believes otherwise is detached from reality. They are defective. That's the harsh truth of the matter.

There’s a very good 4 hour/2-part American Experience on PBS “LBJ’s Great Society”.

For the first 3 hours and 50 minutes it goes in-depth into root causes, street interviews, sociological reports, you name it. It was an exhaustive report by the Democratic liberals of the time. After 2 years, they walk into the Oval Office for their meeting with Johnson, with volumes of data and enough reports to fill a library.

Johnson scoffs at what it would cost and laughs them out of the Oval Office with the succinct message of “what part of just enough” do you people not understand?

Ken Burns has a new documentary due in 2027 on the 60th anniversary of “The Great Society” should be interesting.

These policies were bi-partisan. It had/has nothing to do with votes, imo.


T sowell is one of the smartest people/persons I have listened to as far as cultural values and common sense is considered. You refuse to except those values and common sense because you have been brain washed by people that want to keep you on a plantation. The sad part is that you have that shiny hook in your gut. You will die thinking that bait was worth being put on the stringer or cooler. It is sad.
