Mr. Roach is getting snide… Good for you

Your attorney egoism is fascinating, topped only by your ostentatious rhetoric.

Let’s follow you logic. Again, your words:
“There’s a million reasons there are disparities between the races…”

“The racial problem in this country is a black behavior problem.”

“The disparities are the behaviors.”

To sum up:
There are 1MM reasons for the disparities
The problems are black behavior (1 reason)
The disparities are the behaviors?

Yes, differences in behavior certainly qualify as disparity. There must be 1MM behavioral differences that make up the million reasons for the disparity, right?

Now, come to think about it, you might be right because I can’t think of a single white American who ever said God Damn America.

Well, except Timothy Mcveigh. And perhaps Robert E. Lee and the whole of the Confederate States of America. Oh, let’s not forget Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. And that guy Benedict Arnold. Oh, and Aaron Burr. And Lee Harvey Oswald. John Wilkes Booth. And the list goes on and on.

Again, your own words point out your over all arrogance:
“PS There is no racism of consequence today.”

Loss of life is of no consequence? I believe at this point you are merely being antagonistic.

May I suggests a course in reading comprehension. The disparities are the behaviors. They are the ways we’re different. Are we born that way? Partly. While I don’t think genetics are destiny for indivdiuals, I think our average IQs are different on average by a full standard deviation. But this was true 100 years ago, and back then black crime and black illegitimacy was lower, so clearly culture plays a big part too, as do additudes by black leaders. Where they once said, “be a credit to your race,” they now say, “God Damn America.” It’s a big change, and it’s made black life worse and disreputable.

It’s called a multi-causal problem. But I’m surprised you’re having so much trouble understanding a fairly simple point.

PS There is no racism of consequence today. Blacks just behave worse for reasons having nothing to do with racism.

Mr. Roach. You state that there are “a million reasons” for the disparities between the races. Then you point out that the “racial problem in this country is a black behavior problem”.

How did we go from 1,000,000 to 1? Or are you saying that “black behavior problems” are what cause the other 999,999 reasons?

Mr. Roach, “Crime, poverty, bad school performance, illegitimacy, and all the rest are much higher among blacks.”

Are you suggesting that black people are *born* to be more criminal? Impoverished? Perform Poorly in School? Be born out of wedlock?

There’s no logical inconsistency. There are many disparities between the races. Disparities is another word for differences, and thus I’m saying there are many differences in behavior, particularly in bad behavior. There is more bad black behavior, and it hurts blacks the most. Crime, poverty, bad school performance, illegitimacy, and all the rest are much higher among blacks. Now Wright and Obama see this and basically admit this, but blame white racism. Look at Obama’s Jena Six speech sometime. I see this and say, “first, let’s look at this as the problem, and not simply the symptom of the problem.” And I say, second, “let’s not look at deep root causes explanations because they’re impossible to prove or disprove and may not yield the right kind of solutions to deal with what is happening now.” Finally, I say, “Let’s stop encouraging, apologizing, and rationalizing this disparity in bad behavior. Let’s just call it wrong and counter-productive. When black leaders did this in the past, there was less bad behavior.”

Mr Roach in his own words:

“There’s a million reasons there are disparities between the races, but they exist, and Obama and Wright blame them all on imaginary white racism.”

“The racial problem in this country is a black behavior problem.”

Anyone else get a chuckle out of this oxymoron?

Sorry, my comment was for Mr. Roach. Who I can’t figure out. Thinking that black people should just instantly get over it, he is not understanding why “The chickens are coming home to roost!”

The only Rev. Wright you know is what you see in a clip on the news. When you see him in full context, you may change your view.

Yeah I am a blackman and totally denounce and reject what Mr. Roach said in his comment though he is allowed to have one no matter how idiotic it sounds. He sounds like a closet racist who would only express his thoughts in cyberspace where he can hide his true racist feeling.
Whether you like it or not Mr. Roach there is still alot ofracism in this country and we just made strides for equal rights in the 1960’s when laws were still in place to oppress black americans. You sir are a dying breed and we cant to put the last bit of dirt of your coffin of racist ideals.
You probably have children now who identify with the black americans and it just affirms your hidden racism that you really can’t explain what it originates from. You suck and your name is a perfect fit for your character, quick to run when the light are on.

Did you listen to the speech? The “black behavior problem” you refer to is a result of that separate but equal crap. Blacks were uneducated because slave masters killed the smart ones, in fear of a rebellion. Then after blacks were freed from slavery, until 50 years ago THIS NATION supported an inferior life for it’s black citizens. And Wright grew up in this environment. So for you to say that there is a “black behavior problem”, it’s because white america caused it! Your closed minded ignorance is the most offensive thing of all! Google the words “Tuskegee experiments” the next time you act like blacks have a problem. Blacks did not start this race war. Remember that! America has turned it’s back on the rights of it’s black citizens from it’s conception & BEFORE it’s declaration if independence.

It’s not a question of causation. It’s a question of where we are. What’s actually happening. There’s a million reasons there are disparities between the races, but they exist, and Obama and Wright blame them all on imaginary white racism.
