1. Economic conditions in minority/black communities were equal to white communities.
2. Discrimination by whites, especially by racist cops, ceased.
3. Public education were equal among ALL neighborhoods, in spending, rigor & expectations.
4. The judicial process & justice dispensed were equal for all.
How a city's fathers structure such components determines greatly how lives are lived by the various groups within it, and how those lives turn out. That said, individual attitude and volition matter. Old story: Do right, prosper, or at least stay afloat. Do wrong, expect punishment and/or retribution. Easier to say or do when society's unwritten rules do not favor Group A while disfavoring Groups B or C in unseen or subtle ways. Easy to fault antisocial behavior by discrete groups while remaining silent about the invisible forces are structured to disadvantage said groups. In a city such as Chicago, we need only examine how lending patterns over the past 50 years have favored some groups while disfavoring blacks as to real estate transactions. As orchestrated by Mayor Richard J. Daley, the real estate brokerage industry & the mortgage lenders were in cahoots for the purpose of suppressing free and equal access to housing to blacks on the same terms as whites. This is documented in many communities from the end of WWII to when federal anti-discrimination/equal housing laws were passed in the 1960's, which finally corrected the situation. But the harm created during those years has taken longer to correct. Government was guilty in instituting and maintaining the discrimination to start with. Corrective government action was thus necessary to end it.
The same pattern has been true concerning employment & job advancement.
It is important to note that none of the fears of economic reversal or loss of rigor or efficiency have come to pass after the barriers to equality were removed. Open Housing and Equal Employment Opportunity have not led to any of the downturns voiced as justification for perpetuating discrimination. Hopefully America has matured in that sense, though, quiet as it's kept, vestiges remain. Equality must be nursed and protected. Hate is self-perpetuating, absent outside force, sad to say. It has taken lifetimes to reach today's modus vivendi.
Hopefully backsliding won't occur, restarting the whole painful process anew. Today's status quo says anyone may live anywhere his/her income enables, absent deleterious behavior or habits which may generate irresistible, justified opprobrium.
Notions of superiority/inferiority are attitudes. Attitudes cannot be legislated, pro or con. Only artificial barriers can be outlawed, as is mostly the case nowadays, with none of the dire warnings having materialized.
Love and/or hate cannot be legislated; only behavior. Fortunately, as a nation, we seem to have reached that state of equilibrium without coming apart at the seams again as we did in 1862. We needn't love one another; just not put one another at economic disadvantage based on false notions of superiority/inferiority. In this sense, Nirvana may never be attainable, with neighborly love dominant. But we seem to have achieved what was once thought impossible: The absence of outright hostility and societal disruption on the ground, with the force of government to guarantee peaceful coexistence. Nowadays such behavior has been replaced by brutal political maneuvering, which may be even harder to bring to heel, being subject to the lust for power, always a threat to peaceful coexistence. For that there seems no cure in sight, sorry to say. To quote Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and it is US!"
It's quite interesting you don't factor in how the CIA under Reagan helped to traffic cocaine into the hoods inorder to fund the Nicaragua Contras, a right-wing group. And the Iran-Contra scandal involving Oliver North. CIA history of assassinations in foreign governments after democratic elections? Why are American taxpayers required to spend billions on Israel's defense when they're capable of funding their own protection? Why am I as as a Black man helping to fund a Jewish zionist state that discriminates against African refugees and has practiced chemical eugenics with Ethiopia Jews?
Imagine old former cocaine crack addict Glenn Loury as as a police chief? District Attorney? He certainly talks a lot of shit from his protective niche, wherein he has made millions of dollars (meritorious manumission negro style) on
That $100 billion we sent over to a pointless useless war in Ukraine coukd have been spent over here policing those darn black communities.....
...... OR, it could have been spent on building schools and funding them and incentivizing local economies to become self sufficient.
It would also be nice to find the source of drugs and guns in these neighborhoods, last time I was in a "black neighborhood" I saw zero gunsmiths and zero drug production facilities or fields.
Someone must be bringing them in, but who? Hmmmmm....
The solution is so easy but no one wants to do it because there is a much larger paradigm at play.
We need more police! But for what? To hold a situation in place that should never exist?
How about community improvement? How about bringing jobs and opportunity and schools that don't look like migrant shelters or prisons?
You guys really need to start looking at all this race shit from a higher level, get your balloon up another 20,000 feet. Lets not act like this nation doesn't have the resources to provide the very necessities to eliminate a lot of these problems.
Drones, baby, drones. A cloud of them, buzzing like gnats, over every slum in America. They'll only take pictures for now. Later, the ones with "active engagement" devices will be deployed. There's white light at the end of the tunnel...
Black folks don't own the airplanes, boats, tunnels, etc to transport the drugs into this country. Nor, do they have the real ability to funnel the drug money into legitimate enterprises.
It STARTS with no Fathers. My Son has my wife, a great mom. However, there were times in his childhood where his DAD had to set the lines of behavior, and what would be tolerated. My Son is a superb young man, brave and gentle and kind. But if she had raised him alone,he would not have been. There are times in adolescence where the Dad has to be there.
Honestly, I have been a fan of Dr. Loury’s for quite sometime. However, he has drifted into what can only be described as “coonery” of the highest order, especially with regards to this podcast. I mean, even the man’s illustrated portrait on the blog makes him look like a Black Colonel Sanders! They are going to have to rename this Podcast, “Niggas and how to get rid of’em by Glen “Uncle Ruckus” Loury.
As my mother would say, “I wonder if he knows how fucking stupid he looks?” Answer: Doubtful. Most dumb people think they are smarter than everyone else.
@Mark Sussman - isn’t the “n word” that is used above a violation? Ditto for when Monty uses the “c word”? Seems inconsistent on what to give warnings about.
Libertarian, you're full of shit. Persuade me and other former Black law enforcement ppl and civilians to set aside their tactical firearms, ammunition accumulation, and ongoing training in preparing for defending Black folks if the shit really hits the fan in this country. Black folks have increasingly armed themselves since the election of Trump (check the data). Many have also developed prepping skills. Who will be saving your ass from [Richard Spencer] and his boys ("the Jews will not replace us"). 🤣 Glen Loury with his out of shape fat ass? They're patiently waiting to act. Are you going try to pacify them with your old beat up p***y? This isn't a game.
There are three major dissociative disorders defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association:
• Dissociative amnesia. The main symptom is memory loss that's more severe than normal forgetfulness and that can't be explained by a medical condition. You can't recall information about yourself or events and people in your life, especially from a traumatic time. Dissociative amnesia can be specific to events in a certain time, such as intense combat, or more rarely, can involve complete loss of memory about yourself. It may sometimes involve travel or confused wandering away from your life (dissociative fugue). An episode of amnesia usually occurs suddenly and may last minutes, hours, or rarely, months or years.
• Dissociative identity disorder. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by "switching" to alternate identities. You may feel the presence of two or more people talking or living inside your head, and you may feel as though you're possessed by other identities. Each identity may have a unique name, personal history and characteristics, including obvious differences in voice, gender, mannerisms and even such physical qualities as the need for eyeglasses. There also are differences in how familiar each identity is with the others. People with dissociative identity disorder typically also have dissociative amnesia and often have dissociative fugue.
• Depersonalization-derealization disorder. This involves an ongoing or episodic sense of detachment or being outside yourself — observing your actions, feelings, thoughts and self from a distance as though watching a movie (depersonalization). Other people and things around you may feel detached and foggy or dreamlike, time may be slowed down or sped up, and the world may seem unreal (derealization). You may experience depersonalization, derealization or both. Symptoms, which can be profoundly distressing, may last only a few moments or come and go over many years.
When to see a doctor
Some people with dissociative disorders present in a crisis with traumatic flashbacks that are overwhelming or associated with unsafe behavior. People with these symptoms should be seen in an emergency room.
If you or a loved one has less urgent symptoms that may indicate a dissociative disorder, call your doctor.
Suicidal thoughts or behavior
If you have thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately, go to an emergency room, or confide in a trusted relative or friend. Or contact a suicide hotline. In the U.S., call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Or use the Lifeline Chat. Services are free and confidential.
The “c word” is the same as the “n word” in meaning but refers to whites instead of blacks. I am working off the principle of equity and thinking nearly exactly the same insults should have very similar consequences. Plus Mark Sussman just warned one guy for insulting Jewish people.
Was Jesse Jackson correct? The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for which I have deep respect for? Is Sussman a Jew? Are you an undercover zionist Jew? Me being banned from this white supremacist thread gonna make a great difference in the horrible state of present America. Lol!!!
Glenn is a c🦝🦝n who could have ended up on my prison caseload in the 80s with his crack addition. Poor Glenn couldn't regain the trust of Blacks after his meritorious manumision shit show during the Reagan Administration. Uncle ruckus is a very lonely man now.
The need for police is evident in one large city after another. Crime has jumped and law-abiding black people are disproportionately impacted by other blacks who are running wild and being allowed to do so by the criminal justice system. The intellectual bankruptcy of BLM has been exposed for anyone paying attention. The typical black life does not matter at all. Only when there potential political gain is a particular life given attention.
There were riots after George Floyd. There was chaos after Breonna Taylor. By comparison, how many people remember the name of the man brutalized by cops in Memphis? That case went away rather quickly. It's reasonable to ask how much of that to do with the officers being black themselves. Have we become so desensitized to black on black crime that it warps our view when the assailants carry guns and badges? As best anyone can tell, the incident didn't start over something seriously criminal. It was personal. And it was part of the fallout from BLM, which chased away veteran officers and warped public view toward law enforcement in general.
One might say that the defund people created the exact scenario that anyone could have foreseen. The thing about foreseeable consequences is that they're never accidental. They are intentional. What's happening across the country is the natural outgrowth of elections and policy decisions. Look at Chicago. The place is awash in crime and the electorate's response is to elect a teachers' union mouthpiece as mayor, a man who, even before taking office, excused the behavior of a rampaging mob. Not that the outgoing mayor's tone was any different. When elected officials are justifying the unjustifiable, it's not going to end well and the people hurt most are going to be the ones that the politicians claim to care about.
You fucking moron! Police need to conduct themselves more professionally. I was in law enforcement for 34 years and didn't practice abuse, especially excessive use of force. In Germany, police and correctional officer candidates have to pass an IQ test. Very few succeed. Training is more extensive than in America.
Good points. You can look at Chicago but I see Philly daily and the only people reducing crime now are when one criminal kills or disables another criminal because the cops won’t go to a scene until either the shooting is over or their lawyers have given an ok. Zero sense in making an arrest in Philly since doing so might actually take an experienced capable motived criminal reducer (ie another criminal shooter) off the job. “thinning the herd” is what the cops call it.
Black communities need full time parents!!! To many kids and immature adults with responsibilities they DO NOT FULFILL!!! Our males are absent and the women are females not ladies. Therefore we have young men and women being raised by the street and the internet. People need to stop pointing fingers at the mayor and the police department and stay in the MIRROR. 🙏 🙏 🙏
The other day, I counseled my neighbor's 17-year-old son to take the promising Black female student to the prom instead of Becky, who has nothing going for her. The young black female student has been accepted in the airforce academy. He was warned before by another white girl's dad about dating his daughter. This is Georgia.
Black communities need capital---better schools and employment infrastructure. Your precious Becky will be eventually effected by the problem. Then. you'll be more proactive.
As you so delicately told me, "You fucking moron!" Schools for black kids have been little more than open air day prisons for decades. There is not going to be abundant "employment infrastructure" for young folks who are functionally illiterate. Why would there be? When people don't respect themselves or their communities, no one else is going to respect them, either.
You counseled a kid against dating a white girl. Fabulous. Will that improve his odds of future success? The black girl headed to the service academy has a good future before her. What does he have? What do thousands, if not millions, more like him have?

White supremacy (right-wing extremism) is now being outsourced to Mexicans as noted in Allen,Texas and other places. The greatest threat now are the increasing number of white extremist groups (including probationary white groups). It reminds me of the Aryan inmates aligning with the Mexican inmates on the prison yards against the Black inmates when I worked in the prison industrial complex in California for 34 years.
The Hispanic drug cartels from South of the border are now turning more and more white children into fentanyl addicts. I bet you have some of those [vatos] in your neighborhood now posing as law abiding citizens? You'll be surprised, especially with your very naive disposition. 🤡🤡
He's been accepted into a college, and his sister has been accepted into a medical school. Their father is a hardworking and successful accountant with the mother as an active colonel in the military. 🤡🤡
No we don't care more about black criminals than black victims. We do care about the criminal element who inevitably gravitate to the perception that when you put that uniform on you are the law and hence by definition cannot break the law. If it was up to Heather MacDonald the easiest and most convenient way to solve the problem of black crime is just flip the equation around and assume all blacks are criminals and would just throw all blacks in jail (including you Glenn Loury).
Spot on, Spiril. Philly is an example: average 10 murders per week and over 2000 shootings per year, 90% black on black crime. Assaults, felony theft are 30x plus higher than the 2000 shootings. Stats are on Philly gov site. More than half the shootings and murders go without an arrest. When arrested they are rarely prosecuted. When prosecuted they are rarely incarcerated for long. Unwritten Democratic policy and practice is to minimize intelligence and self reliance of blacks by having them kill each other, shoot each other, rob each other, have kids in single mom homes for welfare and food stamps, ensure they can’t read or add at grade proficiency via teacher union rules, and to feel entitled via DEI victimhood. The Hispanics are going to quickly replace most blacks in good jobs because on average they work harder, are less likely to commit crimes and are more intelligent and better educated.
I just moved to Philadelphia, and I looked up the crime stats for my neighborhood in West Philly. The mugshot gallery may as well have been Malawi. Almost all the crime here is from black people, and the white "progressives" in the area all believe that the reason for the dysfunction is police brutality or white supremacy or some nonsense.
I went to HS in North Philly and after military tour got my undergrad from Drexel and mba from St Joe; and lived around 34th and Powleton during college. North and West are really bad and I don’t go in the city at all bc of all the SEPTA assaults, I-95 road shootings, and robberies. I’d say “stay safe” but instead will change it to “take care”.
I'm rolling on the floor at my beach condo with uncontrollable laughter. It's amusing to see Glenn Loury's current emotional rants. Is he short circuiting again like in the 80s? More interracial sex will solve race relations? Self loathing c🦝🦝ns are so intriguing.
Most whites hated blacks at the time, including 95% of whites who hated MLK. What's your point? Join Ron DeSantis and his anti-woke charade/bullshit? Doesn't reparations and separation make more logical sense? You have have your coon Glenn Loury (a mentally fucked up ex crack cocaine addict) . Lol!!!!
The highest percent is in Iceland, where nearly 7 out of 10 children (69.4%) are born outside of marriage. Second is France, with well over 6 out of 10 births (62.2%) out of wedlock. Bulgaria, atypically in the east, is in third place (59.6%).🤡🤡🤡
Of the eight other countries where births inside marriage are outnumbered by those outside, six are again in Europe’s north or
west. Those are, in descending order: Norway (58.5%), Portugal (57.9%), Sweden (55.2%), Denmark (54.7%), Netherlands (53.5%), and Belgium (52.4%). The two exceptions are Slovenia (57.7%), which is nearly western, and Estonia (53.7%), which is almost Nordic.🤡🤡🤡
And yet, those countries have nothing like the crime rate of the typical inner city. Why do you suppose that is? Why aren't those Icelanders looting stores and shooting each other? I'm not sure that these stats make the point you believe they're making; if anything, it makes things appear even worse. There is a demographic whose activity is far outside societal norms in the US, and if we control for the variable of single-parent birth, what's left is an indictment of the group at large. Is that really what you want to say?
It’s important to remember, Kefalas said, that nonmarital births are a function of class, not race. Because many U.S. minorities live in poverty, you’ll see higher percentages of single parents among them.
In Philadelphia, poverty among minority groups stalled or decreased between 2016 and 2017, but poverty among whites shot up from around 15 percent to more than 19 percent, according to U.S. Census figures released in September.
Throughout America, white workers have suffered stagnation or declines in wages and status over the last 30 years, thanks to downsizing, outsourcing, and automation that have led to the loss of well-paying, blue-collar jobs. The humming economy is not delivering for many working-class people, experts say.
“It’s becoming harder for whites to make it,” said sociologist Karen Benjamin Guzzo of Bowling Green State University in Ohio. “What’s happening to them is what happened to disadvantaged minorities decades ago.”
As a result, white working-class and rural voters without college degrees are more pessimistic about their future than any other group, CNN reported in a 2016 survey.
That’s an interesting stat, but it’s more an artefact of the deinstitutionalisation of marriage for stable cohabiting two parents families than a sign of a rise in single parent families where fathers are not present at the community level.
If you are familiar with Dr Raj Chetty’s research on social mobility, then you will know that the percentage of cohabiting fathers at a community level is the strongest predictor of upward social mobility, more important even than quality of education.
This is problem made even worse by the fact that the negative effects of father absence are felt even more keenly by boys. Girls benefit from fathers in all sorts of ways, they are less likely to become homeless, drug addicted, engage in sex work, suffer from mental health issues, attempt suicide or engage in cutting behaviour- but the one thing fatherless doesn’t seem to influence is female social mobility.
This is why social mobility stats for African American females is higher than white women (or white men), but the stats for social mobility for African American males is truly abysmal. On factor which plays a role is the lack of the huge cost saving to income expenditures derived from cohabiting- it represents the cruellest form of intergenerational wealth reset imaginable.
The other problem is that income differences in which women systemically get paid more and are higher status than the male counterparts in their community, effectively breaks hypergamy- the well-proven sociological root of stable family formation.
If you want to push back on conservatives on the issue of values and personal responsibility I would argue that marriage has become a luxury good, because it happens to be true. High income conservatives might top the chart for staying together and avoiding divorce, but the stats on high income left-leaning liberals are very nearly as high. If it was values we wouldn’t see social progressives who just happen to be wealthy with such high rates of marriage survival.
The general tiredness caused by high workloads, the lack of ‘quality time’ in relationships and stresses over financial worries are all contributory factors to divorce and family breakdown. Values might help at an individual level, but at the community level they don’t help at all…
Just think, the Asians and others are greatly benefitting on EBT transactions in the hood. They're not complaining. Also, most whites receive government assistance. Review the white affirmative action programs under FDR which strengthen the white middle-class.
Social integration isn't measurable; it can't be deposited into the bank. Powernomics with greatly resolve pathologies in the inner cities. Research Black Wall Strret in Tulsa, Oklahoma before it was maliciously destroyed by envious crackers on the other side of the railroad tracks. Homes, buisneeses, churches, 300 Black Lives were destroyed by primitive cracker Neanderthals.
Blacks have have a better chance to succeed if left alone. Desegregation was a big joke---loss of Black owned farms, buisneeses, teachers, community leaders, and sense of real community.
“This is why social mobility stats for African American females is higher than white women (or white men), but the stats for social mobility for African American males is truly abysmal.” Actually, The main reason for this is simply charity via Affirmative Action quotas that count the black female twice; once for female and once for black. Has nothing to do with talent or qualifications.
White feminism is very destructive for the Black family unit. I personally experienced its negative effect. Ex-wife had her tongue down the vagina of a white liberal female who's ex-husband f'ked the neighbors wife. Very bizarre bullshit!
I think somebody flagged your post to me, so I'm replying in a different comment. A good parallel to the points you made would be the demolition of so-called slums in Chicago in pursuit of high density urban housing projects. Shelby Steele's recent documentary highlighted that the rates of Black home ownership were often around 40% and often higher than in surrounding white neighbourhoods.
Here in the UK the group worst hit by benign government interventions is the white working class- more accurately named, an underclass. At one point, the rates of white working class boys attending university had dropped to 9%. With a friend like government, who needs enemies?
For the record, I don't have hate for my poor white brothers and sisters. I worked in the trenches with them. I grow very impatient with the bullshit, especially that of Glenn Loury who has never been in the trenches. He talks about patriotism, but hehas never served in the U.S. Arm Forces or law enforcement. He talks a good game (lot of shit). I would like to test his bullshit in the field with him present (reality).
It's debatable whether AA is actually a kindness of not. Academic mismatch is well-documented, even though there are a few very selective 'studies' which try to prove the reverse. In fact, Affirmative Action tends to reduce the total number of African American professionals in the workforce. It's not a problem for the top-tier schools, or those on the wrung immediately below- because the mismatch is actually quite low.
But as each tier is forced to broaden the mismatch by taking candidates further from ideal for the academic levels of their student bodies, dropout rates quickly rise to around 40% by the time one gets down to about rank 50 in the list of top 200 competitive schools. It's not that these aren't able students, they are just not in the best school for them.
This was the experience of UC San Diego- it turns out that when the University of California was at its most meritocratic, UC San Diego had the best rates nationwide for churning out young minority professionals. There is really good YouTube video in which Glenn Loury explains all this. It was part of a talk at one of the universities- John McWhorter was featured as well, talking about phonics.
AA is no kindness. It is a blight on every black person who values themselves and their reputation. No matter how competent, they live with the specter of having been gifted their position.
Thanks. I agree with your points and most of your conclusions. Affirmative Action is racist and sexist because it doesn’t provide one race and sex (straight white males) the same benefits and protections as everyone else. But agree it hasn’t been a kindness because it essentially messages to the blacks “you don’t need to work or study as hard because we’ll hire/accept/promote you based on characteristics (race,sex) you neither earned nor had control over. “
Would it be practical for me to form a temporary alliance with David Duke snd Richard Spencer to counter your bullshit? I'm well schooled in Machiavellian principles. 😂🤣😅😆
My Jewish neighbor,2 houses down, told me that Jewish women are crazy. His daughter married her first husband's best friend. Her ex is in and out of the home. Some weird shit!
The only use I would have for you is you bending over. The last Jewish woman I dated, in a very weird way, always talked about how her son's father would pee on her. That and the abandonment issues sent me running out of that relationship. I counseled her grandmother while she was dying---a very sweet woman. We shared the same readings. Her granddaughter was crazy loon.
We don't really have Affirmative Action here in the UK. Yes, there is drive for diversity but it has to be meritocratic- it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of anything other than ability. Of course, the DEI types do try to get around it- recently the BBC advertised positions for minority applicants, but white people could and did apply for positions, and if they were better qualified, legally they were supposed to get the job.
The thing is the soft bigotry of low expectations is locking racial disparity in permanently- meanwhile, here in the UK we have numerous schools in the Capital which are performing great with Black kids. Generally, the key to success seems to be a reintroduction of discipline, more training for teachers in classroom practice, a knowledge-rich approach to education where the teacher instructs as well as our introduction of our version of charters (free schools).
This is one example. It's located in Newham, the second poorest borough in London, which also has high crime. It's outperforming Eton on the basis of academic results. 30 minute detentions are handed out if the students are 1 minute late for school, which starts at 6.00am.
A while back I did some research on the school. For a start, they were attempting to recruit graduates direct, with a view to teaching them to be teachers themselves (rather than having their heads filled with bad ideas from educational academia). Second, the parents were also subject to the pretty strict discipline code.
For context, If I could paraphrase Michelle Alexander with my own two cents, we must acknowledge that the undeclared enemy of USA Inc in the post civil rights era was " the blacks ", To " take back " as she put it every right they had gained! It wasn't just the drugs, more damming was giving NWA pay checks and fertilizing Freeway Ricky Ross. Burrell advertising was powerless as they turned the best of us into Steve Urkel's with no swag, who talked white, nothing to aspire to. Now the shame of it all has left everyone in government with no moral authority to draw from and one mistake in judgement can cause full fledge riot. Isn't this is how despots come to power and they are waiting for we the people to beg for their strong hand?
This question would not be necessary IF:
1. Economic conditions in minority/black communities were equal to white communities.
2. Discrimination by whites, especially by racist cops, ceased.
3. Public education were equal among ALL neighborhoods, in spending, rigor & expectations.
4. The judicial process & justice dispensed were equal for all.
How a city's fathers structure such components determines greatly how lives are lived by the various groups within it, and how those lives turn out. That said, individual attitude and volition matter. Old story: Do right, prosper, or at least stay afloat. Do wrong, expect punishment and/or retribution. Easier to say or do when society's unwritten rules do not favor Group A while disfavoring Groups B or C in unseen or subtle ways. Easy to fault antisocial behavior by discrete groups while remaining silent about the invisible forces are structured to disadvantage said groups. In a city such as Chicago, we need only examine how lending patterns over the past 50 years have favored some groups while disfavoring blacks as to real estate transactions. As orchestrated by Mayor Richard J. Daley, the real estate brokerage industry & the mortgage lenders were in cahoots for the purpose of suppressing free and equal access to housing to blacks on the same terms as whites. This is documented in many communities from the end of WWII to when federal anti-discrimination/equal housing laws were passed in the 1960's, which finally corrected the situation. But the harm created during those years has taken longer to correct. Government was guilty in instituting and maintaining the discrimination to start with. Corrective government action was thus necessary to end it.
The same pattern has been true concerning employment & job advancement.
It is important to note that none of the fears of economic reversal or loss of rigor or efficiency have come to pass after the barriers to equality were removed. Open Housing and Equal Employment Opportunity have not led to any of the downturns voiced as justification for perpetuating discrimination. Hopefully America has matured in that sense, though, quiet as it's kept, vestiges remain. Equality must be nursed and protected. Hate is self-perpetuating, absent outside force, sad to say. It has taken lifetimes to reach today's modus vivendi.
Hopefully backsliding won't occur, restarting the whole painful process anew. Today's status quo says anyone may live anywhere his/her income enables, absent deleterious behavior or habits which may generate irresistible, justified opprobrium.
Notions of superiority/inferiority are attitudes. Attitudes cannot be legislated, pro or con. Only artificial barriers can be outlawed, as is mostly the case nowadays, with none of the dire warnings having materialized.
Love and/or hate cannot be legislated; only behavior. Fortunately, as a nation, we seem to have reached that state of equilibrium without coming apart at the seams again as we did in 1862. We needn't love one another; just not put one another at economic disadvantage based on false notions of superiority/inferiority. In this sense, Nirvana may never be attainable, with neighborly love dominant. But we seem to have achieved what was once thought impossible: The absence of outright hostility and societal disruption on the ground, with the force of government to guarantee peaceful coexistence. Nowadays such behavior has been replaced by brutal political maneuvering, which may be even harder to bring to heel, being subject to the lust for power, always a threat to peaceful coexistence. For that there seems no cure in sight, sorry to say. To quote Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and it is US!"
It's quite interesting you don't factor in how the CIA under Reagan helped to traffic cocaine into the hoods inorder to fund the Nicaragua Contras, a right-wing group. And the Iran-Contra scandal involving Oliver North. CIA history of assassinations in foreign governments after democratic elections? Why are American taxpayers required to spend billions on Israel's defense when they're capable of funding their own protection? Why am I as as a Black man helping to fund a Jewish zionist state that discriminates against African refugees and has practiced chemical eugenics with Ethiopia Jews?
I would like to see Glenn Loury's wealth accumulation compared to Al Sharpton's
and Jesse Jackson's . Numbers add to truth. 😂🤣😅😆
Imagine old former cocaine crack addict Glenn Loury as as a police chief? District Attorney? He certainly talks a lot of shit from his protective niche, wherein he has made millions of dollars (meritorious manumission negro style) on
Black misery.
That $100 billion we sent over to a pointless useless war in Ukraine coukd have been spent over here policing those darn black communities.....
...... OR, it could have been spent on building schools and funding them and incentivizing local economies to become self sufficient.
It would also be nice to find the source of drugs and guns in these neighborhoods, last time I was in a "black neighborhood" I saw zero gunsmiths and zero drug production facilities or fields.
Someone must be bringing them in, but who? Hmmmmm....
The solution is so easy but no one wants to do it because there is a much larger paradigm at play.
We need more police! But for what? To hold a situation in place that should never exist?
How about community improvement? How about bringing jobs and opportunity and schools that don't look like migrant shelters or prisons?
You guys really need to start looking at all this race shit from a higher level, get your balloon up another 20,000 feet. Lets not act like this nation doesn't have the resources to provide the very necessities to eliminate a lot of these problems.
Drones, baby, drones. A cloud of them, buzzing like gnats, over every slum in America. They'll only take pictures for now. Later, the ones with "active engagement" devices will be deployed. There's white light at the end of the tunnel...
Black folks don't own the airplanes, boats, tunnels, etc to transport the drugs into this country. Nor, do they have the real ability to funnel the drug money into legitimate enterprises.
It STARTS with no Fathers. My Son has my wife, a great mom. However, there were times in his childhood where his DAD had to set the lines of behavior, and what would be tolerated. My Son is a superb young man, brave and gentle and kind. But if she had raised him alone,he would not have been. There are times in adolescence where the Dad has to be there.
Honestly, I have been a fan of Dr. Loury’s for quite sometime. However, he has drifted into what can only be described as “coonery” of the highest order, especially with regards to this podcast. I mean, even the man’s illustrated portrait on the blog makes him look like a Black Colonel Sanders! They are going to have to rename this Podcast, “Niggas and how to get rid of’em by Glen “Uncle Ruckus” Loury.
As my mother would say, “I wonder if he knows how fucking stupid he looks?” Answer: Doubtful. Most dumb people think they are smarter than everyone else.
😞
As Joe Biden would say: “He ain’t black.”
@Mark Sussman - isn’t the “n word” that is used above a violation? Ditto for when Monty uses the “c word”? Seems inconsistent on what to give warnings about.
Libertarian, you're full of shit. Persuade me and other former Black law enforcement ppl and civilians to set aside their tactical firearms, ammunition accumulation, and ongoing training in preparing for defending Black folks if the shit really hits the fan in this country. Black folks have increasingly armed themselves since the election of Trump (check the data). Many have also developed prepping skills. Who will be saving your ass from [Richard Spencer] and his boys ("the Jews will not replace us"). 🤣 Glen Loury with his out of shape fat ass? They're patiently waiting to act. Are you going try to pacify them with your old beat up p***y? This isn't a game.
A black is far more likely to be shot and killed by another black than any other race. Fact.
Libertarian, Alex, or other aliases... lol!
There are three major dissociative disorders defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association:
• Dissociative amnesia. The main symptom is memory loss that's more severe than normal forgetfulness and that can't be explained by a medical condition. You can't recall information about yourself or events and people in your life, especially from a traumatic time. Dissociative amnesia can be specific to events in a certain time, such as intense combat, or more rarely, can involve complete loss of memory about yourself. It may sometimes involve travel or confused wandering away from your life (dissociative fugue). An episode of amnesia usually occurs suddenly and may last minutes, hours, or rarely, months or years.
• Dissociative identity disorder. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by "switching" to alternate identities. You may feel the presence of two or more people talking or living inside your head, and you may feel as though you're possessed by other identities. Each identity may have a unique name, personal history and characteristics, including obvious differences in voice, gender, mannerisms and even such physical qualities as the need for eyeglasses. There also are differences in how familiar each identity is with the others. People with dissociative identity disorder typically also have dissociative amnesia and often have dissociative fugue.
• Depersonalization-derealization disorder. This involves an ongoing or episodic sense of detachment or being outside yourself — observing your actions, feelings, thoughts and self from a distance as though watching a movie (depersonalization). Other people and things around you may feel detached and foggy or dreamlike, time may be slowed down or sped up, and the world may seem unreal (derealization). You may experience depersonalization, derealization or both. Symptoms, which can be profoundly distressing, may last only a few moments or come and go over many years.
When to see a doctor
Some people with dissociative disorders present in a crisis with traumatic flashbacks that are overwhelming or associated with unsafe behavior. People with these symptoms should be seen in an emergency room.
If you or a loved one has less urgent symptoms that may indicate a dissociative disorder, call your doctor.
Suicidal thoughts or behavior
If you have thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately, go to an emergency room, or confide in a trusted relative or friend. Or contact a suicide hotline. In the U.S., call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Or use the Lifeline Chat. Services are free and confidential.
What is the “c” word? Is this a n w thing?
The “c word” is the same as the “n word” in meaning but refers to whites instead of blacks. I am working off the principle of equity and thinking nearly exactly the same insults should have very similar consequences. Plus Mark Sussman just warned one guy for insulting Jewish people.
Was Jesse Jackson correct? The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for which I have deep respect for? Is Sussman a Jew? Are you an undercover zionist Jew? Me being banned from this white supremacist thread gonna make a great difference in the horrible state of present America. Lol!!!
Glenn is a c🦝🦝n who could have ended up on my prison caseload in the 80s with his crack addition. Poor Glenn couldn't regain the trust of Blacks after his meritorious manumision shit show during the Reagan Administration. Uncle ruckus is a very lonely man now.
Wow, guess I haven’t kept up. Thought it was the female unutterable word.
Good you didn’t write “unudderable” or I’d have to report you for mis-gendering.
Who’s Miss Gender?
The need for police is evident in one large city after another. Crime has jumped and law-abiding black people are disproportionately impacted by other blacks who are running wild and being allowed to do so by the criminal justice system. The intellectual bankruptcy of BLM has been exposed for anyone paying attention. The typical black life does not matter at all. Only when there potential political gain is a particular life given attention.
There were riots after George Floyd. There was chaos after Breonna Taylor. By comparison, how many people remember the name of the man brutalized by cops in Memphis? That case went away rather quickly. It's reasonable to ask how much of that to do with the officers being black themselves. Have we become so desensitized to black on black crime that it warps our view when the assailants carry guns and badges? As best anyone can tell, the incident didn't start over something seriously criminal. It was personal. And it was part of the fallout from BLM, which chased away veteran officers and warped public view toward law enforcement in general.
One might say that the defund people created the exact scenario that anyone could have foreseen. The thing about foreseeable consequences is that they're never accidental. They are intentional. What's happening across the country is the natural outgrowth of elections and policy decisions. Look at Chicago. The place is awash in crime and the electorate's response is to elect a teachers' union mouthpiece as mayor, a man who, even before taking office, excused the behavior of a rampaging mob. Not that the outgoing mayor's tone was any different. When elected officials are justifying the unjustifiable, it's not going to end well and the people hurt most are going to be the ones that the politicians claim to care about.
You fucking moron! Police need to conduct themselves more professionally. I was in law enforcement for 34 years and didn't practice abuse, especially excessive use of force. In Germany, police and correctional officer candidates have to pass an IQ test. Very few succeed. Training is more extensive than in America.
Good points. You can look at Chicago but I see Philly daily and the only people reducing crime now are when one criminal kills or disables another criminal because the cops won’t go to a scene until either the shooting is over or their lawyers have given an ok. Zero sense in making an arrest in Philly since doing so might actually take an experienced capable motived criminal reducer (ie another criminal shooter) off the job. “thinning the herd” is what the cops call it.
Black communities need full time parents!!! To many kids and immature adults with responsibilities they DO NOT FULFILL!!! Our males are absent and the women are females not ladies. Therefore we have young men and women being raised by the street and the internet. People need to stop pointing fingers at the mayor and the police department and stay in the MIRROR. 🙏 🙏 🙏
The other day, I counseled my neighbor's 17-year-old son to take the promising Black female student to the prom instead of Becky, who has nothing going for her. The young black female student has been accepted in the airforce academy. He was warned before by another white girl's dad about dating his daughter. This is Georgia.
Black communities need capital---better schools and employment infrastructure. Your precious Becky will be eventually effected by the problem. Then. you'll be more proactive.
As you so delicately told me, "You fucking moron!" Schools for black kids have been little more than open air day prisons for decades. There is not going to be abundant "employment infrastructure" for young folks who are functionally illiterate. Why would there be? When people don't respect themselves or their communities, no one else is going to respect them, either.
You counseled a kid against dating a white girl. Fabulous. Will that improve his odds of future success? The black girl headed to the service academy has a good future before her. What does he have? What do thousands, if not millions, more like him have?
Libertarian, Alex, or other aliases... lol!

White supremacy (right-wing extremism) is now being outsourced to Mexicans as noted in Allen,Texas and other places. The greatest threat now are the increasing number of white extremist groups (including probationary white groups). It reminds me of the Aryan inmates aligning with the Mexican inmates on the prison yards against the Black inmates when I worked in the prison industrial complex in California for 34 years.
The Hispanic drug cartels from South of the border are now turning more and more white children into fentanyl addicts. I bet you have some of those [vatos] in your neighborhood now posing as law abiding citizens? You'll be surprised, especially with your very naive disposition. 🤡🤡
White gaslighters like yourself are quite amusing---like vampires! 😂🤣😅
He's been accepted into a college, and his sister has been accepted into a medical school. Their father is a hardworking and successful accountant with the mother as an active colonel in the military. 🤡🤡
No we don't care more about black criminals than black victims. We do care about the criminal element who inevitably gravitate to the perception that when you put that uniform on you are the law and hence by definition cannot break the law. If it was up to Heather MacDonald the easiest and most convenient way to solve the problem of black crime is just flip the equation around and assume all blacks are criminals and would just throw all blacks in jail (including you Glenn Loury).
Precisely what a bloviating ignoramus would say. Well played, sir.
Precisely what a stupid racist Nazi bitch would respond. Fuck you.
You selected a truly accurate username. And who is the "we" you are talking about?
I'm quoting Nazi bitch MacDonald so ask her who "we" is. Fuck you too.
I hate to be the guy to tell you but, this is as good as it gets.
70%, on its way to 80%, single mother, fatherless homes.
Useless public schools, glorified debauchery and feral savagery.
We will look back in 10 years and think these were the good times.
Spot on, Spiril. Philly is an example: average 10 murders per week and over 2000 shootings per year, 90% black on black crime. Assaults, felony theft are 30x plus higher than the 2000 shootings. Stats are on Philly gov site. More than half the shootings and murders go without an arrest. When arrested they are rarely prosecuted. When prosecuted they are rarely incarcerated for long. Unwritten Democratic policy and practice is to minimize intelligence and self reliance of blacks by having them kill each other, shoot each other, rob each other, have kids in single mom homes for welfare and food stamps, ensure they can’t read or add at grade proficiency via teacher union rules, and to feel entitled via DEI victimhood. The Hispanics are going to quickly replace most blacks in good jobs because on average they work harder, are less likely to commit crimes and are more intelligent and better educated.
You're pushing me further and others toward Richard Spencer and David Duke---a temporarily alliance.
I just moved to Philadelphia, and I looked up the crime stats for my neighborhood in West Philly. The mugshot gallery may as well have been Malawi. Almost all the crime here is from black people, and the white "progressives" in the area all believe that the reason for the dysfunction is police brutality or white supremacy or some nonsense.
Pookie and ray-ray are busy in cognito---helping to brown America. 😂🤣😅😆😁😄😃😀
I went to HS in North Philly and after military tour got my undergrad from Drexel and mba from St Joe; and lived around 34th and Powleton during college. North and West are really bad and I don’t go in the city at all bc of all the SEPTA assaults, I-95 road shootings, and robberies. I’d say “stay safe” but instead will change it to “take care”.
I live at 36th and Powelton!!
Here you go; a 16 full page list of last 2 months of crime around there. https://drexel.edu/~/media/Files/publicsafety/PDF/DrexelDailyCrimeLog.ashx?la=en
I'm rolling on the floor at my beach condo with uncontrollable laughter. It's amusing to see Glenn Loury's current emotional rants. Is he short circuiting again like in the 80s? More interracial sex will solve race relations? Self loathing c🦝🦝ns are so intriguing.
You know, the issue is Fatherlessness. LBJ really hated Black People. A lot.
Your new inlaws will be pookie and ray-ray, spreading their seeds. Glenn's advocacy to resolve racial issues. 😂🤣
Most whites hated blacks at the time, including 95% of whites who hated MLK. What's your point? Join Ron DeSantis and his anti-woke charade/bullshit? Doesn't reparations and separation make more logical sense? You have have your coon Glenn Loury (a mentally fucked up ex crack cocaine addict) . Lol!!!!
White death rate is higher than birthrate.
https://apl.wisc.edu/data-briefs/natural-decrease-18
“the typical American black still scores below 75 percent of American whites on almost every standardized test. “. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-black-white-test-score-gap-why-it-persists-and-what-can-be-done/amp/

The highest percent is in Iceland, where nearly 7 out of 10 children (69.4%) are born outside of marriage. Second is France, with well over 6 out of 10 births (62.2%) out of wedlock. Bulgaria, atypically in the east, is in third place (59.6%).🤡🤡🤡
Of the eight other countries where births inside marriage are outnumbered by those outside, six are again in Europe’s north or
west. Those are, in descending order: Norway (58.5%), Portugal (57.9%), Sweden (55.2%), Denmark (54.7%), Netherlands (53.5%), and Belgium (52.4%). The two exceptions are Slovenia (57.7%), which is nearly western, and Estonia (53.7%), which is almost Nordic.🤡🤡🤡
And yet, those countries have nothing like the crime rate of the typical inner city. Why do you suppose that is? Why aren't those Icelanders looting stores and shooting each other? I'm not sure that these stats make the point you believe they're making; if anything, it makes things appear even worse. There is a demographic whose activity is far outside societal norms in the US, and if we control for the variable of single-parent birth, what's left is an indictment of the group at large. Is that really what you want to say?
White opioid epidemic, increasing suicide rates, low fertility, increased alcoholism, increased pessimism about government...
It’s important to remember, Kefalas said, that nonmarital births are a function of class, not race. Because many U.S. minorities live in poverty, you’ll see higher percentages of single parents among them.
In Philadelphia, poverty among minority groups stalled or decreased between 2016 and 2017, but poverty among whites shot up from around 15 percent to more than 19 percent, according to U.S. Census figures released in September.
Throughout America, white workers have suffered stagnation or declines in wages and status over the last 30 years, thanks to downsizing, outsourcing, and automation that have led to the loss of well-paying, blue-collar jobs. The humming economy is not delivering for many working-class people, experts say.
“It’s becoming harder for whites to make it,” said sociologist Karen Benjamin Guzzo of Bowling Green State University in Ohio. “What’s happening to them is what happened to disadvantaged minorities decades ago.”
As a result, white working-class and rural voters without college degrees are more pessimistic about their future than any other group, CNN reported in a 2016 survey.
That’s an interesting stat, but it’s more an artefact of the deinstitutionalisation of marriage for stable cohabiting two parents families than a sign of a rise in single parent families where fathers are not present at the community level.
If you are familiar with Dr Raj Chetty’s research on social mobility, then you will know that the percentage of cohabiting fathers at a community level is the strongest predictor of upward social mobility, more important even than quality of education.
This is problem made even worse by the fact that the negative effects of father absence are felt even more keenly by boys. Girls benefit from fathers in all sorts of ways, they are less likely to become homeless, drug addicted, engage in sex work, suffer from mental health issues, attempt suicide or engage in cutting behaviour- but the one thing fatherless doesn’t seem to influence is female social mobility.
This is why social mobility stats for African American females is higher than white women (or white men), but the stats for social mobility for African American males is truly abysmal. On factor which plays a role is the lack of the huge cost saving to income expenditures derived from cohabiting- it represents the cruellest form of intergenerational wealth reset imaginable.
The other problem is that income differences in which women systemically get paid more and are higher status than the male counterparts in their community, effectively breaks hypergamy- the well-proven sociological root of stable family formation.
If you want to push back on conservatives on the issue of values and personal responsibility I would argue that marriage has become a luxury good, because it happens to be true. High income conservatives might top the chart for staying together and avoiding divorce, but the stats on high income left-leaning liberals are very nearly as high. If it was values we wouldn’t see social progressives who just happen to be wealthy with such high rates of marriage survival.
The general tiredness caused by high workloads, the lack of ‘quality time’ in relationships and stresses over financial worries are all contributory factors to divorce and family breakdown. Values might help at an individual level, but at the community level they don’t help at all…

Just think, the Asians and others are greatly benefitting on EBT transactions in the hood. They're not complaining. Also, most whites receive government assistance. Review the white affirmative action programs under FDR which strengthen the white middle-class.
Social integration isn't measurable; it can't be deposited into the bank. Powernomics with greatly resolve pathologies in the inner cities. Research Black Wall Strret in Tulsa, Oklahoma before it was maliciously destroyed by envious crackers on the other side of the railroad tracks. Homes, buisneeses, churches, 300 Black Lives were destroyed by primitive cracker Neanderthals.
Blacks have have a better chance to succeed if left alone. Desegregation was a big joke---loss of Black owned farms, buisneeses, teachers, community leaders, and sense of real community.
“This is why social mobility stats for African American females is higher than white women (or white men), but the stats for social mobility for African American males is truly abysmal.” Actually, The main reason for this is simply charity via Affirmative Action quotas that count the black female twice; once for female and once for black. Has nothing to do with talent or qualifications.
You're playing very dangerous games!!!!
White feminism is very destructive for the Black family unit. I personally experienced its negative effect. Ex-wife had her tongue down the vagina of a white liberal female who's ex-husband f'ked the neighbors wife. Very bizarre bullshit!
I think somebody flagged your post to me, so I'm replying in a different comment. A good parallel to the points you made would be the demolition of so-called slums in Chicago in pursuit of high density urban housing projects. Shelby Steele's recent documentary highlighted that the rates of Black home ownership were often around 40% and often higher than in surrounding white neighbourhoods.
Here in the UK the group worst hit by benign government interventions is the white working class- more accurately named, an underclass. At one point, the rates of white working class boys attending university had dropped to 9%. With a friend like government, who needs enemies?
For the record, I don't have hate for my poor white brothers and sisters. I worked in the trenches with them. I grow very impatient with the bullshit, especially that of Glenn Loury who has never been in the trenches. He talks about patriotism, but hehas never served in the U.S. Arm Forces or law enforcement. He talks a good game (lot of shit). I would like to test his bullshit in the field with him present (reality).
Sadly, true.
It's debatable whether AA is actually a kindness of not. Academic mismatch is well-documented, even though there are a few very selective 'studies' which try to prove the reverse. In fact, Affirmative Action tends to reduce the total number of African American professionals in the workforce. It's not a problem for the top-tier schools, or those on the wrung immediately below- because the mismatch is actually quite low.
But as each tier is forced to broaden the mismatch by taking candidates further from ideal for the academic levels of their student bodies, dropout rates quickly rise to around 40% by the time one gets down to about rank 50 in the list of top 200 competitive schools. It's not that these aren't able students, they are just not in the best school for them.
This was the experience of UC San Diego- it turns out that when the University of California was at its most meritocratic, UC San Diego had the best rates nationwide for churning out young minority professionals. There is really good YouTube video in which Glenn Loury explains all this. It was part of a talk at one of the universities- John McWhorter was featured as well, talking about phonics.
AA is no kindness. It is a blight on every black person who values themselves and their reputation. No matter how competent, they live with the specter of having been gifted their position.
Thanks. I agree with your points and most of your conclusions. Affirmative Action is racist and sexist because it doesn’t provide one race and sex (straight white males) the same benefits and protections as everyone else. But agree it hasn’t been a kindness because it essentially messages to the blacks “you don’t need to work or study as hard because we’ll hire/accept/promote you based on characteristics (race,sex) you neither earned nor had control over. “
I drink and hunt with crackers who have deep contempt for you.
Would it be practical for me to form a temporary alliance with David Duke snd Richard Spencer to counter your bullshit? I'm well schooled in Machiavellian principles. 😂🤣😅😆
My Jewish neighbor,2 houses down, told me that Jewish women are crazy. His daughter married her first husband's best friend. Her ex is in and out of the home. Some weird shit!
The only use I would have for you is you bending over. The last Jewish woman I dated, in a very weird way, always talked about how her son's father would pee on her. That and the abandonment issues sent me running out of that relationship. I counseled her grandmother while she was dying---a very sweet woman. We shared the same readings. Her granddaughter was crazy loon.
We don't really have Affirmative Action here in the UK. Yes, there is drive for diversity but it has to be meritocratic- it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of anything other than ability. Of course, the DEI types do try to get around it- recently the BBC advertised positions for minority applicants, but white people could and did apply for positions, and if they were better qualified, legally they were supposed to get the job.
The thing is the soft bigotry of low expectations is locking racial disparity in permanently- meanwhile, here in the UK we have numerous schools in the Capital which are performing great with Black kids. Generally, the key to success seems to be a reintroduction of discipline, more training for teachers in classroom practice, a knowledge-rich approach to education where the teacher instructs as well as our introduction of our version of charters (free schools).
This is one example. It's located in Newham, the second poorest borough in London, which also has high crime. It's outperforming Eton on the basis of academic results. 30 minute detentions are handed out if the students are 1 minute late for school, which starts at 6.00am.
A while back I did some research on the school. For a start, they were attempting to recruit graduates direct, with a view to teaching them to be teachers themselves (rather than having their heads filled with bad ideas from educational academia). Second, the parents were also subject to the pretty strict discipline code.

Curiously, all those countries have 1 thing in common.
I visited most of these countries---good pootang! But not as good as in South America. 😂🤣😅😆
White!!!! Lol!!!!
For context, If I could paraphrase Michelle Alexander with my own two cents, we must acknowledge that the undeclared enemy of USA Inc in the post civil rights era was " the blacks ", To " take back " as she put it every right they had gained! It wasn't just the drugs, more damming was giving NWA pay checks and fertilizing Freeway Ricky Ross. Burrell advertising was powerless as they turned the best of us into Steve Urkel's with no swag, who talked white, nothing to aspire to. Now the shame of it all has left everyone in government with no moral authority to draw from and one mistake in judgement can cause full fledge riot. Isn't this is how despots come to power and they are waiting for we the people to beg for their strong hand?
Was a treat to listen .
