The black blame game
Jonah Goldberg, who is top-tier amongst all pundits, has hit upon the real problem in politics today, and why we are making no progress in solving many of the major issues out there. In short it's called "white guilt" and black "victimhood". The problem in all this is the fear of talking about issues between the races for fear of being labeled "racists" on the part of the whites. The "racists" victimhood strategy is just that, a strategy employed by blacks to gain disproportionate power over issues while only representing a relatively small percentage of the population (13%). Obviously this strategy has worked quite well for black leadership, not so much for blacks and society at large. In the case of elections, blacks vote as a block more than any other racial or ethnic group. They are the authors of all kinds of destructive and societally fragmenting programs like Affirmative Action. They support and promote economically disastrous programs like the CRA which led directly in an straight line to the housing mortgage meltdown that nearly brought down the entire financial structure in this country. Finally they are largely to blame for the massive Welfare State that pays them not to work and promotes all manner of dysfunctional behavior that abets crime all in the name of "fairness". Had Barak Obama spent his first four years in office encouraging his own race to face up to and deal with what's pathological in their behavior, rather than stoking racism and fear mongering, he might have had a successful presidency. What's wrong in this country is not the result of whites repressing blacks, rather blacks demonizing and blaming whites for their shortcomings. At some point Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and James Clyburn and Barack Obama and all the others living in shadow of the civil rights movement of the '60's will pass from the scene. At that point in time maybe the new black leaders will be open to solutions in lieu of the blame game. Right now the blame game pays better than the solutions game.
