Pertty spot on post there my friend. To bad more people don't realize this.
by James Baldwin in the book "The Collapse of American Hope" .
"Black rage is a response to black suffering and failure of the past , and reflects the irresistible temptation to attribute African American problems to a history of white racist oppression. Despite substantial progress over the past few decades, African Americans continue to show conspicuous evidence of failure - failure in the workplace, failure in schools and colleges, and failure to maintain intact families and secure communities. Taken together, these hardships and inadequacies virtually assure that blacks will not eve equality of earnings and status with other groups anytime soon. Even more seriously, they threaten to destroy poor black communities and endanger the economic and physical integrity of society as a whole".
"There is a political chasm as well: increasingly the Republican party is becoming the party of whites, while the Democratic party is beholden to its African American voting base. If these political and racial divisions are exacerbated, we are likely to witness a further decomposition of the bonds that hold the country together. Thus America's historically unprecedented attempt to construct a truly multiracial society may be doomed to fail".
There is another and almost forgotten aspect of this murky reality - In such a divided and multi racial society , maintaining solid ideology , supporting national interest and for benefits of all , is simply impossible .
