There are many reasons for a people, Black Americans in particular, to lag behind in indicators traditionally used to measure success. While most of those reasons may be systemic, there are far too many Black Americans that become successful in spite of the attempts to keep them down. I resist the argument that “the man” has done this to us with equal disdain that promotes the “we are our own worst enemy” diatribe. Tragically, there is merit on both sides. However, the bottom line truth comes to accepting that, yes there are issues but none of them are insurmountable. I also accept that I have a great deal of choice in defining my success, regardless of the obstacles, and I can work to educate others around me. It does “us” no good to stand around blaming each other nor does it help by grabbing on to every ideology someone else argues in order to defend our collective lack of prosperity. Don’t get stuck in what the American dream has allegedly promised. It can be yours when you define what you’re willing to do to simply Go Get It. And the rest of us should take the example, celebrate, and do the same.

This author undoubtedly has been fully indoctrinated into every type of brainwashing that the white man has made available to Negroes. America’s Army of naive Negroes is growing daily, to fill the ranks behind the likes of Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Tavis Smiley and Herman Cain, and we will always make room for a good high profile coon.

Allen,

I think you’re making her point for her rather than arguing against her. You are saying that she doesn’t attack liberals hard enough. Perhaps not.
