These white Europeans were able to assimilate in not too many generations, partly through hard work but also intermarriage and political organization. And, yes, some of them managed to get up in the world through pretty profitable criminal activity. But they were never subjected to Jim Crow in the South and Ghettoization through restrictive real estate practices in northern cities. That's not an excuse for bad behavior by black people, but a realization that the situation will not change through preaching to them about their bad habits but by opening up avenues to advancement that others have enjoyed.<br /><br />Tom EvansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-87822667527737262872015-03-06T10:52:30.327-06:002015-03-06T10:52:30.327-06:00Sure -- Why not drug tests to qualify for welfare....Sure -- Why not drug tests to qualify for welfare.

Curing that is much more intractable and it involves not viewing African-Americans as just another minority versus one the nation has a historic responsibility towards. It's a ig reason why the "punditry left" refusal to discuss the impact of illegal immigration on the African-American underclass is so maddening. Meanwhile, there are simple things we can do like police lapel cameras and citizen review boards, and also PAYING police better salaries (a lot of these forces pay crap for younger officers)Anon-not-Anonnoreply@blogger.com
