Why Black America need a conservative revolution!!!

  1. Because every black american ‘buys air jordans’ instead of spending their money on things like, basic needs.

    Yup, totally spot on, if you’re a fucking racist.

  2. Weird that the problems that you claim are endemic to black culture are problems that affect all poor demographics; from the Asians you speak so highly about to White people whose culture apparently promotes education (they live in the good school districts), not using food stamps (apparently all young white people don’t have to feed themselves + their parents + siblings + pay for healthcare + housing + school), investing (they have enough income to invest after necessary expenses), etc.

    That is unless the White or Asian person is born into a lower economic class and lives in Appalachia, the Rust Belt, the Midwest, outside of the wealthy enclaves of Manhattan, Silicon Valley, New England etc.

    A just-so story about personal responsibility and culture being at the heart of inequality helps one sleep at night. It’s comforting to be reminded that bad things happen to bad, irresponsible people and that you are good because bad things haven’t happened to you. It’s more difficult to accept that life isn’t just, fair and that people with power will use that power to gain a leg up over you even if that means you can’t afford housing, healthcare or food. That, sometimes, bankers in a city 1,200 miles away might try to knowingly profit from bad investments, and when their house of cards comes crashing down, you will lose your home and job. It’s also a convenient political talking point that shifts responsibility from those who engage in social, legal and employer discrimination for their own profit to those who are being shit upon to their detriment. It means that the discussion shifts from “how do we tackle the problem of people not being able to eat because there isn’t enough work” to “how do we cut welfare so these lazy blacks will finally get a job and not buy Air Jordans on the dole?”

    It’s clear from your writing that you’ve been shielded from a life of poverty and effects of poverty since your short time out of school. Consider yourself lucky. Just hope that your income at least raises to match inflation (wages haven’t gone up since the 70’s), your benefits aren’t cut and your job isn’t automated or outsourced away. Otherwise, your kids might find themselves in the same situation you’re pinning 100% on personal responsibility.

    (or your post was good satire in which case: Good game, my friend. You got me)

  3. The state of black Americans is a combination of effects of government policies and personal accountability. Both have to be acknowledged. I like the idea Dr. Claud Anderson put forth in his book Powernomics; build your economic base by supporting black businesses, then use that leverage to influence legislation, education, media, etc.
