Recently the NEW YORK TIMES published a lament about the stalling out of the uplift of Black Americans to their earned status in American society; a status earned by dint of slavery, Fort Pillow Massacre, Buffalo Soldiers and the Battle of Kunu-Ri.
One of the key factors in the uplift, pre-stalling, was Richard Nixon’s Affirmative Action Plan; but then Liberals decided that uplifting American Blacks was not a worthy goal. Worthy goals were the importation of illegal alien labor, and the substitution of American Blacks by African immigrants. The substitution of American Blacks, in the labor force by illegal alien labor, was facilitated by Joe Biden’s Mass Incarceration Bill, a Law designed to open up unskilled jobs for illegal alien labor; that abomination was followed up by a further mass importation, African immigrants to replace American Blacks in the work force.
Why substitute for American Blacks?
One of this Blogger’s first jobs was with ARCO; this Blogger and Bob L., had to lay off a Sudanese immigrant. The immigrant took the sad news, and then fell on his knees kissing this Blogger’s feet. Embarrassed, the Blogger asked him to rise; however, Bob L. said” Let it be Gerry, it is part of their culture.”
After ten minutes of having their feet kissed, this Blogger and Bob L. had the Sudanese escorted off the premises.
Bob L. said:“I love African immigrants, didn’t that feel great getting your feet kissed……can you imagine an American Black doing that?”
No.
But this Blogger does expect American Blacks to continue to throw up Black American males of American Courage like Bass Reeves and Charles Rangel, who measure up.
There are roughly forty million American Blacks with Slave Blood in their veins; but rather than anoint a female Black American as Vice president, Liberals chose a daughter of Jamaican/Indian parentage. And one wonders why American Blacks have stalled out?
In all those 40 million American Blacks, Liberals could not find anyone capable of being Deputy Treasury Secretary?
“United States President-elect, Joe Biden, has selected a Nigerian-born attorney, Adewale Adeyemo, as the Deputy Treasury Secretary.
This was disclosed by Biden on Sunday, according to Wall Street Journal.”
And one wonders why the progress of American Blacks is being stalled out.
In place of American Black comics such as Flip Wilson, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, and Cleavon Little, America now has South African Trevor Noah to offer insights on America's race problems.
And one wonders why the progress of American Blacks is being stalled out
“….In terms of material well-being, Black Americans were moving toward parity with white Americans well before the victories of the civil rights era. What’s more, after the passage of civil rights legislation, those trends toward racial parity slowed, stopped and even reversed. Understanding how and why not only reveals why America is so fractured today, but illuminates the path forward, toward a more perfect union.
In measure after measure, positive change for Black Americans was actually faster in the decades before the civil rights revolution than in the decades after.For example,
- The life expectancy gap between Black and white Americans narrowed most rapidly between about 1905 and 1947, after which the rate of improvement was much more modest. And by 1995 the life expectancy ratio was the same as it had been in 1961. There has been some progress in the ensuing two decades, but this is due in part to an increase in premature deaths among working-class whites.
- The Black/white ratio of high school completion improved dramatically between the 1940s and the early 1970s, after which it slowed, never reaching parity. College completion followed the same trajectory until 1970, then sharply reversed.
- Racial integration in K-12 education at the national level began much earlier than is often believed. It accelerated sharply in the wake of the 1954 Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education. But this trend leveled off in the early 1970s, followed by a modest trend toward resegregation.
- Income by race converged at the greatest rate between 1940 and 1970. However, as of 2018, Black/white income disparities were almost exactly the same as they were in 1968, 50 years earlier. Even taking into account the emergence of the Black middle class, Black Americans on the whole have experienced flat or downward mobility in recent decades.
- The racial gap in homeownership steadily narrowed between 1900 and 1970, then stagnated, then reversed. The racial wealth gap is now growing as Black homeownership plummets.
- ….These data reveal a too-slow but unmistakable climb toward racial parity throughout most of the century that begins to flatline around 1970 — a picture quite unlike the hockey stick of historical shorthand.
…..In the last half-century, however, that collective progress has halted, and many who fought so hard for this progress have now lived to see it reversed. U.W. Clemon, an African-American lawyer who won a precedent-setting Alabama school desegregation case over 40 years ago — and recently took up a remarkably similar legal battle in the same county — summarized the historical arc well, saying “I never envisioned that I would be fighting in 2017 essentially the same battle that I thought I won in 1971.”
It is against this backdrop of stillborn hopes and intergenerational reversals that Black Lives Matter protesters have taken to the streets.
……if Black Americans’ advance toward parity with whites in many dimensions had been underway for decades before the Civil Rights revolution, why then, when the dam of legal exclusion finally broke, didn’t those trends accelerate toward full equality?Why was the last third of the 20th century characterized by a marked deceleration of progress, and in some cases even a reversal?
We have two answers to these questions.
The first is simple and familiar: White backlash.
……….The moment America took its foot off the gas in rectifying racial inequalities largely coincides with the moment America’s “we” decades gave way to the era of “I.” At the mid-’60s peak of the I-we-I curve, long-delayed moves toward racial inclusion had raised hopes for further improvements, but those hopes went unrealized as the whole nation shifted toward a less egalitarian ideal.
A central feature of America’s “I” decades has been a shift away from shared responsibilities toward individual rights and a culture of narcissism. Economic inequality has skyrocketed
......,It is difficult to say which came first — white backlash against racial realignment or the broader shift from “we” to “I.” Perhaps America’s larger turn toward “I” was simply a response to the challenge of sustaining a more diverse, multiracial “we” in an environment of deep, embedded and unresolved racism. But it is also possible that a broader societal turn away from shared responsibilities to one another eroded the fragile national consensus around race as all Americans began to prioritize their own interests above the common good. A selfish, fragmented “I” society is not a fertile soil for racial equality.
……Through the “long civil rights movement,” as it has come to be called, Black activists had prevailed upon the white establishment to widen the “we” in important (though ultimately insufficient) ways across many decades.By the late 1960s, though the work of widening was not nearly complete, America had come closer to an inclusive “we” than ever before. But just as that inclusion began to bear tangible fruit for Black Americans, much of that fruit began to die on the vine.
The lessons of America’s I-we-I century are thus twofold. First, we Americans have gotten ourselves out of a mess remarkably similar to the one we’re in now by rediscovering the spirit of community that has defined our nation from its inception. America has turned the tide from “I” to “we” once before and we can do it again. And, to a greater extent than heretofore recognized, we made more rapid progress toward racial parity during the communitarian epoch than during the period of increasing individualism that followed.
……As Theodore Roosevelt put it, “the fundamental rule in our national life — the rule which underlies all others — is that, on the whole, and in the long run, we shall go up or down together.”….NEW YORK TIMES.”
This Blogger will now posit a theory as to why the ’WE” of the late 1960s collapsed, for the "I" of 2020; because the Liberals began to include ILLEGAL ALIENS in the WE, at the expense of American Blacks; PROGRESS of WE could not sustain the extra weight. Inclusion of illegal aliens into the WE, forced American Blacks out of the WE.
On April 15, 2016, this Blogger published the following: Mass Incarceration of American Black Males is Caused by Globalization..
The following is excerpted from that Blog:
“…..In the early 1990s, the Liberal Elite residing at Harvard University mingled with the Globalized Elite vacationing at Harvard and decided to help the global poor by redistributing wealth from the Rich United States to the poor countries of the world. This could be accomplished by sending American jobs to first China and Mexico, then everywhere.
Capitalism would benefit by cheap labor, and the poor in China and Mexico would benefit by having their standards of living raised. The only people who would suffer from this altruistic policy would be inconsequential, the American working class, specifically American black males. Yet that would not be a problem because Blacks always voted for the Liberal Elite of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
In the salons and urinals of the United Nations and Davos, Globalization was adopted as the raison d’être of the world.
“Globalized methods of production only increase the opportunities for less-developed nations to create employment for their poor as factories and jobs can so readily move about the world. The resulting exports find customers overseas, so the level of domestic demand is not as important, especially at the early stages of poverty alleviation. The jobs created by globalization help employ excess labor in the countryside…TIME.”
In a zero sum world, which is the world in the 21st Century, every job created in a poor nation is a job taken away from an American worker.
The Globalized Elite knows that; so they lie.
Secretary of State John Kerry said this lie, in Los Angeles on April 13, 2016.“The primary reason old jobs disappear is technology, not trade, and certainly not trade agreements….When machines do more, productivity goes up, and the demand for human labor will shift to other industries……“I feel badly for the people who are losing their jobs…John Kerry.”
Hillary Clinton, in her Democratic debate with Senator Bernie Sanders on April 14, 2016, stated that Mass Incarceration was an unintended consequence of the Clinton Crime Bill.This Blogger does not believe that; this Blogger believes that the Mass Incarceration of Young Black Males was an INTENDED Consequence of the Global Elite's imposition of Globalization on the American working class.
....The Mass Incarceration of Young Black Males was and is neither an issue of crime, nor public safety but an inherent feature of Globalization.
“… the number of people incarcerated in America quadrupled-from roughly 500,000 to 2.3 million people….The US is 5% of the World population and has 25% of world prisoners.……NAACP.”
The Global Elite which gave America Globalization, also gave us, under President Clinton, Hillary and Joe Biden, Mass Incarceration of Young Black Males for their own devices.
Why?
Mass Incarceration culled the American Working Class of young Black Males ,by putting them in jail or giving them a prison record. That, in effect, made a critical mass of Young Black American Males un-hireable.
Why would the Global Elite want that?...to open up jobs for illegal aliens.
Why would the Global Elite want that?
The obvious answer is Cheap Labor from illegal aliens; but the subtle answer is more nefarious….young black males are in prison or un-hireable, it is illegal aliens who are learning business techniques previously reserved for Americans. The folklore of Business has been transferred to illegal aliens because young black Americans are in Jail; that was the Plan of the Global Elite, educate the world on the backs of the American worker, specifically the American young Black worker…..THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.”
The Global Elite, represented by Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris broke the back of the AMERICAN WE by mass incarceration of American Blacks, and their replacement by illegal aliens.
Then the Globalized Elite FINISHED THE JOB of stalling out the Progress of American Blacks, by weighing down the American We with African migrants.
The Globalist Elite, Liberals, told the AMERICAN WE that it could solve the racial problems in America by importing more Africans…DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ANYONE WHO IS NOT A GLOBAL ELITIST?
“Africa has the fastest-growing number of immigrants in the United States, according to a Quartz analysis of US Census Bureau data.
According to the UNESCO Institute of Statistics, from 2006 to 2014, the number of African students pursuing post-secondary degrees abroad grew 24%, rising from about 343,000 to 427,000. It rose 9% from 2013 to 2014 alone.
Africans have also benefited from the US Diversity Visa Lottery Program, better known as the “Green Card lottery.” Countries like Ghana, which is also among the top five African countries with a fast-growing immigrant population in the US, had the highest number of applicants than any other country in 2015 and at least a million applicants in 2016. The US State Department sets regional quotas every year and in 2017, the largest number of visas (about 19,000) went to citizens of African countries.
…… “As long as African migrants have children who are becoming citizens and voters, over time we will become a more welcoming and inclusive society.” Quartz Africa”
America cannot solve America’s racial policy nor uplift American Blacks by importing vast numbers of Africans. The AMERICAN WE can only succeed if it prioritizes American Blacks; it cannot succeed if it fails to include America Blacks, because they have been superseded by illegal aliens and African migrants.
Biden/Harris, murderers of the AMERICAN WE.
