Blacks have certainly perfected the move of taking offense, but learning how to succeed has been a problem. This is always whiteys fault, natch. I am one white man who has become fed up with being blamed (with no evidence) for other people failing to thrive. And dont whine about me not being sensitive to black feelings, blacks have been so incredibly insensitive to whites feelings for so long that they have lost the right to complain when they get returned what they offer.
Well, they do succeed; however, the underclass remains. In my opinion, other groups/demographics off-loaded those in their repective underclass on the way up into the middle class and beyond. For example, at the turn of the 20th century, NYC Jews represented the criminal class, with 80% of NYC jails filled with Jewish males. Only by Jews (collectively) allowing that underclass to die off did Jews succeed as a group. Same with some other white ethnics.
However, Black folk seem to want to lift their underclass up with those that succeed. With seven out of ten Black women not married, and many are single parents, I am not sure if that uphill climb can be accomplished in the relative future?
If one remembers that Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who originally was a sociology professor, got a lot of heat by positing that American Blacks are changing their culture by abandoning marriage as a way to have the next generation. That was decades ago. Now it might be the entire society is becoming balkanized into those that are raised in a two parent home, and those that are not, regardless of race.
Tune in in 100 years to see where the U.S. is with this differential.
