I love this country; I have two kids who will live out their lives here. Yet it’s hard to see any hope for America when the landscape of social commentary is smothered in shallow lies and infantile delusions.

UNZ Review paranoid racist babble! "Hope & Change" as well as lasting peace are coming. You'll see.

#5 I get so tired hearing about "400 years of oppression" and all that. The ultimate in victim mentality.

I bet if you asked ANY of those rioters to provide individual examples of "oppression" or "discrimination", you would probably get the blank-stare look.

#6 You can be as honest as you want to be about minority involvement in crime. If you like your job, etc., it's probably a good idea to keep your thoughts to yourself.

#7 ^ learned that lesson over 40 years ago.

Denial + virtue-signaling + politically-correct BS is what this country forces as a kind of restitution payment from current generations of Americans for the sins of a small % of the antebellum US population

As if no one else but blacks had ever been enslaved throughout history.

As if Louis Farrakhan's co-religionists hadn't enslaved countless Europeans through the centuries.

As if Africans themselves hadn't profited enormously from the African slave trade.

Unz should be careful, though. The first people to go after him on this will be his "fellow conservatives".

#10 @ #8 - As if no one else but blacks had ever been enslaved throughout history

slave from "Slav"

And weren't there a few slave Scots and/or Irish in the Caribbean?

#11 Cornel West traces US unrest to Obama failures: 'Black faces in high places' couldn't deliver
Skidmark I would say "wouldn't Deliver". They were too busy stuffing their pockets with taxpayer money and selling influence. Look at Maxine Waters. Many others.

#12 #3 Cornel West traces US unrest to Obama's failures: black faces in high places couldn't deliver

Funny, that was the same major conclusion that Stephan Tgernstrim and other historians came to about the 1960s urban riots: the Johnson administration and the mainstream Civil Rights movement raised young urban blacks' expectations beyond reasonable levels. When they didn't see a major change in their personal living situations, they turned to violence and looting.

Thernstrim in 1998:

[The Kerner Commission] report does not satisfactorily answer the elementary question of why the riots occurred when and where they did.

Because the commission took for granted that the riots were the fault of white racism, it would have been awkward to have had to confront the question of why liberal Detroit blew up while Birmingham and other southern cities -- where conditions for blacks were infinitely worse -- did not. Likewise, if the problem was white racism, why didn't the riots occur in the 1930s, when prevailing white racial attitudes were far more barbaric than they were in the 1960s?

#13 The last Americans to be slaves were white. Don't let facts get in the way of your 10 minutes of state sponsored hate.

#14 Read somewhere recently that one of the problems in the black community is they spend rather than save so there is nothing to pass along to the next generation which ensures every generations starts at zero. This doesn't happen in more successful cultures that save to help their kids have a better life.

Anyway I thought that was interesting.

#15 IMO, RJ, if you have a country where one group (90% of population) has an average IQ of 100*, and another group (10% of population) has an average IQ of 80 - that country is better be damn clear about the difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes.

*Guess who invented IQ tests?
