The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating. No other group in America is systematically demoralized in this way by its alleged allies. A whole generation of black children are being taught that only by begging and weeping and screaming will they get handouts from guilt-ridden whites. No message will more surely devastate their futures, especially if whites run out of guilt, or indeed if America runs out of whites.
THIS!!!!!! Constantly telling Black people th way are incapable of success is the worst kind of racism there is. It’s insulting.

Exactly why it pisses me off everytime an athlete or someone like Lebron tweets out a "woe is me" response to black involved issues.
The man is worth three-quarters of a billion but has the victim mentality of a whiny toddler.
Hes just teaching kids to react like he does. It is in no way a message of self-accountability or self-reliance. It just teaches young blacks that if life isnt going well, just blame white people.

It's a damn shame that the person who wrote this did so anonymously.

One take away from that is, he is saying that if black people blame white people for all of their problems then white people will be in a position to take credit for all of their successes.
And of course the cycle of victimhood will never end as long as black people are teaching their children that white people are in full control of their lives.

Out of the darkness, this letter is a shining light of truth.
Perhaps this will divert us from the disastrous path we are treading.

That is a wonderful article. Hits damn near all of my frustrations.

But let’s remember that the foundation here is the desire of leftists to feel morally superior to everyone else. Patting themselves on the back for ”helping” people by posting instagram squares allows them to do just that.
It’s crazy how similar they are to evangelicals trying to “save” everyone.

The left’s reliance on herd mentality is telling. Just like a church —heretics cannot be tolerated withn the congregation.

They make a great point I have not considered before about Jews and Japanese Americans. Those persecutions happened much more recently and those groups seem to have rebounded well.

It’s worth looking at African immigrants.
They (presumably) face the same (or worse) “systemic racism” than thr native born population. Yet they’re far more economically successful and don’t have the same incarceration rates.
Legal Black immigrants from Africa have an incarceration rate almost 10x lower than US nativebrn Black people.

In fact, African immigrants have one of the lowest incarceration rates amongst immigrant ethnicities.
Why?

Excellent read. Someone should read it in its entirety on the air. Tucker Carlson or Judge Jeanine maybe.
Again...excellent letter.
Again...excellent letter.

Oh
My
GOD...
This is about the biggest "boom" I have ever read in my entire life.
There's no doubt this guy will be rooted out, fired and blacklisted for life... but damn.
This was the single greatest rebuke of multiple generations of instilled "victim mentality" and multiple generations of consecutive democratic leadership gaslighting and oppression that I have ever seen, read, ever even heard of.
Whoever this historian is, i want him to throw his hat in the ring to replace Trump in '24. This is the kind of person who can bring about real change, and begin righting the wrongs that have been proficiently forced on generation after generation of black Americans. It's the fricking DNC that has done this. They're disgusting and abhorrent people.

It is a shame that such a well written, well reasoned (and reasonable) letter has to be written anonymously.
Posted on 6/13/20 at 12:29 am to TigerCoon
That was amazingly stinging.

I thought it was a female. Makes no difference.
