Being half Black and for many years identifying myself with their culture during my youth, I can understand the frustration that Black people have in society. But as you have read, I now say their culture. They have gone to a place I cannot follow. The other half of me just can't subject myself to being a victim. My Black mother didn't even raise me like that, never mind my Indian father; I was raised to be follow my own path. I think that is why I am fascinated with early American culture, the rugged individualism that created the greatest wealth for the common man in the history of mankind. Fuck you Trudeau, it's mankind.
The biggest problem facing Black America is not Caucasian Americans, it's Black Americans. I went to two separate high-schools growing up. I started at a highscool that catered to lower-middle class and then moved and went to a high-school that catered to upper-middle class Jewish families. My first school, was a basketball powerhouse in the city so naturally it attracted many black athletes. I was one of them. I went their to play for the best against the best. It was my first passion in life. These Black students were my teammates, my friends and my classmates. After switching schools and making new friends, I can tell you that their attitudes and outlook on life, what to expect from life were completely night and day. The only difference I can find looking back besides money is that one group was raised my single mothers and the other had two parent families. At my first school, there was never any focus on the future. It was get what you can get in the present. Learning and preparing were things that were not necessary and in fact frowned upon unless you were on a basketball court. I had this mentality also. Interesting thing though happened at my new school. I had a friend Justin. Justin in my eyes was rich. I would go to his house and play on his basketball court in his back yard or swim in his indoor pool. He had like a five story mansion. His room was as big as the apartment I lived in. One day, I asked him how is he so rich. He told me laughingly, "none of this is mine, it's my father's. I have an opportunity and I am going to take full advantage of it." Justin went on to go to Duke University and then proceeded to continue his studies at the London School of Economics. Justin was not Jewish in case you were wondering.
That conversation took place 20 years ago. The seeds had already been planted but had yet to bear any fruit. My way forward, is now like Justin's. I am responsible for my own successes and failures. In order to obtain anything, something of equal value must be sacrificed in order to acquire it. Hard work, focus, dedication, responsibility and tact, these are the qualities that will bring success. You will fail along the way but with these qualities you will learn from your failures and move forward. This is why I cannot follow Black society down their path to ruin because the ones that voted Democrat, never made the necessary preparations during their youth in order to obtain the things they wanted. Why because their fathers were not there since welfare has replaced the father. %70-77 of babies are born out of wedlock now in the black community depending on which figures you lock at. Interestingly I know and lived with my father and he raised my with my mother. After they divorced I spent the equal time living them into my 20's and then I was able to acquire lift off and moved on from my parents care.
