Yes, black lives matter, but not in way most people think.
Blacks make up less than 15 percent of the population. Yet 150 years after their emaciation, and after numerous attempts to make them normal functioning members of society, as a group, they remain one of societies biggest problems. All of our attempts to right the supposed wrongs of the past, including school bussing, numerous affirmative action and head start programs have failed to make the slightest difference in the lives of the average Black American.
In fact, you can make the case that blacks who are not born with exceptional athletic ability are worse off now than they were in the days before Lyndon Johnson set in motion the federal welfare policies that broke up the black family. With 72 percent of young black males either in prison or on parole and over 70 percent of black babies being born to single mothers, one wonders how things could get much worse for blacks or the society in which they live. But, if things stay the same, it will. You can bet your last dollar on that!
One thing we have learned from our futile attempts to stamp out all vestiges of racism and to make things better for the black community is this. With rare exception, black single mothers, aided by their mothers and grandmothers are incapable of raising black children so that they will become functioning members of society. This is especially true for black boys who, if they are fortunate enough not to have been gunned down by members of their own race, most often end up in prison.
Of course, there are exceptions to this sad state of affairs. A few blacks, those with exceptionally high IQs, do become educated and make something of their lives. Invariably, these black men and women move out of the black communities in which they were born and settle in white suburbs where, for all practical purposes, they become white. These exceptional individuals flee the black ghettoes where they were born, leaving them unchanged in the slightest. In this respect, the slums of Oakland, Detroit, Chicago and Flint Michigan are, by any standard, in worse condition now than they were 50 years ago.
When all is said and done, America is paying a heavy price for Blacks who, for whatever reason, have not been able to assimilate into the American way of life. Undoubtedly, the destructive social policies of Johnson's great society, and the many liberal boondoggles that followed have played a role in the Blacks failure to integrate into American culture. However, programs like Head Start do not fail because of lack of effort or lack of recourses.
No, these programs fail, in large part, because the mean IQ of the average Black is 15 IQ points lower than that of the average white and there is little or nothing that can be done to change this disturbing fact after a child is born. Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray pointed out the problems facing those who are born with below average IQs, both black and white, in their masterpiece The Bell Curve. The data presented in this 871 page tour de force is a must read for anyone interested in tackling the social problems we face in twenty-first century America.
The refusal of liberal politicians and educators to recognize the basic differences in inherited intellect between the races is largely responsible for the inner city decay we are experiencing in most of our large cities today. But you may be asking, how would recognition of the fact that there are racial differences in inherited intellect change anything for the better? There are several ways this might happen.
First, we should stop paying low IQ women, both black and white, to have children. In fact we should be paying them not to have children. This can be accomplished by a state or federal program that would pay inner city single women a stipend, $5000 seems about right, to have a Norplant injection that would prevent them becoming pregnant for five years. The monies saved by not having to pay for prisons that would house the males that they otherwise give birth to during the five year period of volunteered sterility would, in the long run, more than pay for such a program. More significantly, over a period of 10 to 15 years it would greatly decrease the crime rate.
Along these same lines, there should be financial, and other incentives, that would encourage educated females, again both black and white, to have larger numbers of children. In short, we must encourage smart women of all races to have more children, otherwise in a few generations we will become a land of dullards. At present the medical profession and the Silicone Valley are becoming more dependent with each passing day on foreigners who were trained in India, China and elsewhere to fill the jobs available because there are not enough educated Americans to meet the need. This problem would be alleviated, at least in part, if professional, well educated intelligent women of all races were having more babies. We should be doing more to make this happen!
Finally, we should begin making things again in America so that there will be well paying jobs for those who want to work, but do not have the mental capacity to become educated. In this respect, there is no reason that tennis shoes that sell for over $150 cannot be made in America by American workers rather than by someone living in a third world nation where humans work for a few dollars a day and live in abject poverty.
This will require stiffer tariffs on imports and tax incentives for manufactures who are willing to make the products they sell in the good old USA. Along these same lines, once the jobs are available, people who now depend on welfare should be forced to take them, or be directed to the nearest soup kitchen. This would go a long way towards decreasing America's staggering rate of obesity.
So yes, black lives do matter but in a very negative way. Our inner city ghettos are teaming with blacks who can neither read or write and have no chance of making anything of themselves in today's high-tech world. Our political leaders should recognize the intellectual limitations of those living in black America and do whatever is necessary to rectify the problem. More government freebies, single mother families and earlier and earlier head-start programs are not the answer!
