How Do You Define “Fair Treatment” of Blacks in Today’s Society?
Question by Hebrewtocracy: How do you define “fair treatment” of Blacks in today’s society?
If you define “treating Blacks fair” as making sure that their standard of living is the same as that of White people, you run into the insurmountable problem of finding a way to make that happen. Do you build new houses for them? It has been tried and they always make the new ones look just like the old rundown broken apart cesspools they left to move into your new housing. And they create this nearly magical transformation in an unbelievably small amount of time. Do you give them free money? Once again, it has been tried. Trillions of dollars later we find that all we have done is pay for the breeding of even more Blacks who reside under the poverty line. We have given them preferential treatment in getting into schools, getting hired and promoted, and nearly every other area of life where you and I would be expected to get in and fight for it, before we would be awarded the prize. Today, they are still living like Blacks live all over the world. I submit that the entire Gross National Product of this country would not be enough to force Blacks permanently into the same standard of living that Whites have.

I think it ultimately comes down to the person. It is like trying to get an alcoholic to be sober. No matter how much you try it will ultimately come down to whether the person wants to change or not. If they don’t want to change their lifestyle and just want to treat their new house the same as their old one, then the problem still exists. As well as giving them money. If they will not do anything productive with it and continue to live the way they were, then the problem has not gone away… you have just temporarily covered it up. Obviously not all blacks are like this… but some are.. so are some whites. If they were raised as hard workers they may live a more productive life than those who are brought up to not take care of their homes and just to waste money on drugs or things that are not needed.
