News from Nunya

Our friend Nunya who most of us look forward to hearing from every morning to get our day started posted the following on Kevin's Sunday blog:


"I see the Urinal propagandists (editorial staff) has blamed low scores on ACT tests of minorities on slavery, civil rights....and low health care, lack of broadband, lack of nutrition...y'know...all that stuff that should be "free"!

Instead of, y'know...what it really is. Which is lack of personal responsibility and motivation, lack of family structure, bad gangsta culture...y'know...the ACTUAL problems"


I'd just like to elaborate on that a little.


The godless left is intent on blaming all the problems suffered by blacks in America on the "legacy of slavery". As Nunya says, instead of looking at how a culture has self destructed, they are quick to blame others for what is in essence the fault of a culture that has evolved into what it is today.


Even talking about this subject in this way gets us falsely labeled racist and white supremists and more. But we always hear from the godless left about wanting to start "conversations" about things like this, so lets do.


From the end of the Civil War until the mid 1960s blacks in America were progressing at a remarkable rate. Out of wedlock birth rates low, as families reunited and sought stability. Freed slaves went to great lengths to find spouses and families to reunite. Today the out of wedlock birthrate for blacks is about 72%.


Blacks were making steady progress in employment, education, home ownership and general assimilation into the America society. The were in essence taking advantage of their new freedom to join the American dream. Remember, most of these people were generations removed from Africa, there was no logical thought given to returning to Africa, they would have been more strangers there than they were in America, and it was in Africa their ancestors were captured and sold into slavery by their fellow Africans anyway.


All that began to change in the mid 1960s. Why? Lyndon Johnson and the great welfare state. The intention of the godless democrat party was to create a new plantation. Families dissolved as fathers abandoned their children, with the state stepping in to fill the role of father. Fatherless children turned to gangs and drugs. Generations grew to depend on welfare and government assistance, to the extent that today there are families who have never known a working member of the family.


The statistics all prove this out if you take the time to review them.


So the question begging an answer is this. If all the problems plaguing blacks in America today are a "legacy of slavery" as we are told why did it take a hundred years to begin? Why did the first hundred years after the end of slavery not look the same or worse than today? After all, most blacks were living in the south then, and were living in close proximity to the people that fought a war to keep them enslaved. So it seems the "legacy of slavery" is a modern day creation.


I would postulate the real cause of the modern day suffering of blacks in America is their own culture. Fatherless children by the millions. Families supported by taxpayers. Rejection of education opportunities because studying and working hard in school is "acting white". A culture of violence against each other. A young black man's greatest risk of death is at the hand of another young black man.


But it's easy to blame others. It must be somebody's fault. And with the godless left more than happy to support that idea because it helps their goal of the destruction of American society they have a helpful ally in their drive to blame somebody else.


This is a complex issue, but as Nunya summed it up nicely...lack of personal responsibility and motivation, lack of family structure, bad gangsta culture...y'know...the ACTUAL problems"


So no, I don't feel guilty about slavery. In fact I don't feel guilty about anybody's lack of motivation and drive to achieve the American dream which is there for all. It's waiting for you. But it requires you to find it and grab it. Sitting on your ass collecting welfare and waiting for it to come and find you is a hopeless endeavor. It just won't happen.
