The Election

Okay, so you lost because you thought Blacks and whites would both love to get behind the same political party.  Because of course Blacks and whites agree on so much.

Stop trying to be funny, Black "liberals".  Liberalism is for whites.  We?  We got US.  Face it, Obama isn't here forever.  Neither is Black liberalism.

Where are you gonna go?

A new country?

Or back to preschool?

Declaration of Independence

When the states of the deep South reach Black majorities, they declare independence.  You know the white people want us gone, and we want to rule ourselves.  Who loses?

Nobody.

Simple as that.

Edit:
All right folks, I know it's not politically correct.  Somebody step up to the plate, Black or not.

Prelude to the Declaration of Independence

(Okay, I know I gave it away a little with that title.)

Here's the plan:

Abolish all welfare, affirmative action, and racial set-asides for Blacks (and Latinos and whoever else gets them).  Say goodbye to your nanny state, brothers!  You've grown up!

Give tax breaks to any Black who agrees to move permanently to one of the five states in the deep south: Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, or Mississippi.  Now there's no "brown paper bag" test here; all you have to do is declare yourself to be Black, and you get the tax break if you move.

Next, any Black serviceman is released from his tour of duty with the US military if he agrees to serve out the same amount of time with National Guard of any of those states.

Last, approve the Declaration of Independence of any state in the deep south - preferably ALL of them.  

What could be simpler?

But what's that I hear?  I'm creating a GHETTO?  

No, my friend, I'm creating a NEW COUNTRY.  An independent Black country with its own army, its own ships, its own resources, and most importantly its own people.  That's what I'm creating.

What else I hear?  I'm making all the Blacks leave their homes?  

Nope, just offering a deal.  Join with your brothers and get a tax break.  Stay where you are, that's fine, but no more special pats on the head by guilty white liberals.

Oh, but what about the whites in those states?  

What about them!  After Jim Crow, maybe they deserved to be hanged.  Maybe not.  It ain't Jim Crow any more.  Southern whites can stay or leave, their choice.  It's not like they're going to be turned into slaves once the Declaration of Independence happens.  

And the absolute worst thing I hear:

But there's no point in leaving the USA!  We got the White House now!  

Yeah, right, my friend, like that's going to last a long time.  We're two years down now, and if the white banks don't fix the economy (they won't) it'll all get blamed on a certain Black (you can say black) guy from Hawaii.  Think he'll get re-elected?  Think again!  Who knows what the the white voters will want in 2012.

Illegal Immigration and Blacks

How Illegal Immigration Hurts Black America

It may hurt to read it.  Read it anyway.

Why do you think multiracial communities work?

People praise integration and multicultural, multiracial communities all the time.  I think they do it because King praised integration.  I understand and share the respect for Dr. Martin Luther King but I don't think that is a good enough reason to support something that doesn't appear to be working.

Put Blacks and whites together and the whites will get scared and start bribing Blacks to have babies out of wedlock.  That's the way it's been for decades now.  It has to stop.

If you're so sure multiracial communities work, what's the evidence?  If an all-Black community can't work, does that mean a Historically Black College can't work?  I doubt it.

First, abolish welfare

I was going to title this post "Blinded by the whites" to mimic a song I heard on the radio the other day, but I decided I should be serious.

Welfare must be abolished because it encourages people to drop out of the job market and have babies.  For you political science majors, I'm talking about TANF ("Temporary" Aid to Needy Families).  Get rid of it.  Right now.  It's bad news.

I could write about this for hours, but I'm working on other stuff now (I'll get back to you!) and by now, everyone should know this.  Welfare sucks.

Okay, if you want to be "moderate", say, no new welfare cases accepted, effective immediately.  Current TANF recipients get to keep "earning" (HA HA!) what they applied for until their time, six months at most, is up.

And when the mothers come around begging, tell them, "Sorry, call me racist if you want, it doesn't hurt my feelings any more."  THEN you can go home and cry out your hurt feelings.

I'm teasing, but there's a grain of truth, isn't there?  Liberals who like welfare are blinded by their own guilt and generosity, and poor teenagers with poor values (more than half of them are white, look it up!) are blinded by the lure of all that money.  Only a rich, guilty liberal would say it's not that much money.  It's a LOT of money to a poor teenager.

Why education isn't working

Over at Prospect Magazine there is a thread called "In praise of dead white men".  It's about how everyone needs to learn the canon, Black or white.  Why shouldn't it be?  Modern watered-down education is founded on the same notion that Jim Crow was, that Blacks couldn't learn.  Yet a lot of Blacks who claim to be proud are saying they need something more relevant to Blacks in education.

Well, OF COURSE we're not comparing white popular culture writers to The Fire Next Time or Invisible Man.  Obviously James Baldwin is better than some novel about sexy vampires.  AND Baldwin or Ellison or Maya Angelou is in an important way more relevant to Blacks than Shakespeare or Dante.  But relevance isn't everything.  Greatness is it's own thing.  Blacks have been in Shakespeare plays for years because everyone can appreciate him if they try.

So, cut out the touchy-feely pop novels, and keep the canon, and keep Baldwin and Ellison.  It ain't rocket science.

But that doesn't mean a white writer, taught by a white teacher, is going to appeal to Black kids.  And it's not because white teachers are mean and nasty.  You can't win if you're a white teacher.  You're either mean and nasty or you're too nice.  Black kids will walk all over a white teacher.  It does no good to say "they should be ashamed!"  They're not going to show respect until their communities are run by Black adults, their schools staffed by Black teachers, and their job opportunities are with Black businesses.

If that means government, from school all the way up to Congress, has to be Black, so be it.  A Black Declaration of Independence is coming, and that won't be rocket science either.  I'll write about in a while, so hang on.
