I was in England, but we followed it. I remember it, I remember what we felt about it, and what people were writing about it. It was full of hope. The idea in everyone's mind was that if we strike down these unjust laws and we outlaw all this discrimination, then we'll be whole. Then America will be made whole. After an intermediate period of a few years, who knows, maybe 20 years, with a hand up from things like affirmative action, black America will just merge into the general population and the whole thing will just go away. That's what everybody believed. Everybody thought that. And it didn't happen.''<br />I agree with that, and one of the problems being that the ''intermediate period'' has not ended and likely won't soon. Even after the '92 riots I thought the ''merge'' he mentioned would and eventually could happen. No longer.<br />It's clear now that if anything despite the advantages given them blacks overall have gotten worse, not better.<br />Two news articles recently are again forcing the question ''what is to be done about their <a href="http://www.hotstockmarket.com/t/69896/father-has-21-kids-he-s-29" rel="nofollow">breeding patterns</a> and the <a href="http://www2.tbo.com/news/news/2012/may/05/10/tampa-police-use-stun-gun-on-woman-who-is-8-months-ar-400233/" rel="nofollow">effects of them</a>''?<br />There is no solution from 'conservative' pundits and politicians that would curb this. Not 'family values' nor 'jobs'. The sheer number of viable offspring is unsustainable by all except the very wealthy. And anyone that suggests ''that's enough babies, no more, period'' gets shouted down.YIHnoreply@blogger.com
