took forty-plus years
to bring down America's
rising successes*
no, not them rich "white" folks
but you, their former servants
*(Little-known statistic - among all ethnicities, Blacks accomplished more marriages of long duration than any other grouping. In the middle decades of the 20th Century, Black students in New York City scored comparably with White students in standardized achievement tests. What happened? Government efforts to kick fathers out of their families' homes - with the lure of welfare and "assistance" to single-women families; a corrupt education system which rewarded incompetent and often deliberately protectionistic of bad and bad-acting teachers with job-protections which rewarded same without allowing teachers' removal from a nice fat government paycheck. From competing with the leading students on a level playing field to announced needs of "special" exemptions and the toleration of "Acting White" charges encouraged by peers, media and the continued refusal to combat "fake" news and programs by politicians and media elites, we managed to put Black kids behind the eight ball and requiring special exemptions - and the grades to go with them as well as the "dumbing-down" of standard achievement tests to offset The White Privilege of stable homes, disposable income, home computers, among other excuses to cause governmental interfering with the natural order. A home with two parents, committed to excellence, will buy their students the tools to achieve and not flat screen HD televisions and themselves not drive off the car lot with an overpriced flashy new car bought like their homes with little or no down and years to pay. Of course the lure of free government money and cable tv and smokes and hootch instead of encyclopedias and dictionaries and time spent at the dining room table drilling the kids by both parents on their lessons could have something to say about why Ladarius don't read.)
