White Privilege or Black Fathers - Part 4

By Patrick Hall

White privilege doesn’t truncate the black underclass.  It is a lack of a stable family structure that used to teach young men to take responsibility for the women they impregnate. Sadly, many of them are useless, “pants-down-to-their-ass” sperm donors. However, they fancy themselves cool, hip, chic, edgy, blacker-than-thou, and/or down-with-the-brothers!

 It is a lack of a work ethic, that views entry-level jobs as beneath them as chump work. It is labeling other blacks, who are trying to educate themselves and take advantage of the many opportunities that America offers all of its citizens, as acting “white;” whatever the hell that means!
It is not learning or even caring about how to present oneself in public. That too is often labeled as acting white by many in the black underclass.  It starts with entire neighborhoods not learning simple civic behaviors like picking up garbage, that litter the streets in most inner-city communities.  It is not white privilege, that stops some blacks from raising children in such a manner that they take responsibility for themselves, without defaulting to the excuse of institutional racism, implicit race bias, microaggressions, or the never-ending victim nomenclature cooked up by the “peer-reviewed quacks” populating the Critical Race Theory industry.  A nurtured victim mentality has entrenched itself in the mindset of the black underclass. Even blacks in upper-income brackets sometimes display this latent, “if not profitable”, victim comportment.

The mind-numbing nonsense over racial profiling and police brutality is a prime example of this systemic victim psychosis. Even when the victim and the key perpetrators were black, such as in the Tyre Nichols tragedy, race mongers like Rev. Al Sharpton, Civil Rights Attorneys, and Black politicians can magically spin it as a racist attack within the framework of systemic racism. In other words, you can still blame it on White People.  Abracadabra!

It is a dangerous, false, and self-defeating cultural narrative, that distracts many from looking at the family structure or lack thereof in the black underclass. The charge of racist police, that the mainstream media, most black politicians, and the liberal academic class pontificate are counterproductive, if not an effective charade. Regrettably, far too many blacks from all income levels sometimes barter in this racial currency.  

Another irony is that many of the most vocal firebrands accusing law enforcement of racial profiling and police brutality, and who do so from the relative safety of their upper-middle-class neighborhoods, are black.

When the police do curtail or pull back on their ongoing law enforcement responsibilities against “violent black criminals,” guess who suffers? People like Civil Rights attorney Benjamin Crump, or United States Race Czar, the Rev Al Sharpton, don’t live in the crime-prone areas, where violent black thugs practice their malignant trade. What happens when soft-on-crime judges, lawyers, and District Attorney like Alvin Bragg of New York, help black criminals get off with light or no sentencing? These same criminals return to urban areas to continue their torment of law-abiding citizens.

Sidebar: “But then again, when it comes to election time, blacks from crime-ridden neighborhoods will still vote in black politicians like Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) or Jim Clyburn (D-SC) who continue to do little to address the murderous and violent ground-hog day taking place in their Congressional Districts.  Go figure?”

Black criminals, mostly young men, and heirs of the Great Society Welfare Programs are the real dangers, that many of us living in urban areas fear. Urban mythologies like “Hands-up-don’t-shoot” “I can’t breathe”, or “Say her name”, propagated by Black Lives Matter, Civil Rights Attorney Benjamin Crump, NAACP, and others, do not address this decade-old cultural devolution. Blacks killing blacks is the real danger, along with committing the majority of homicides nationwide.¹  

In its heyday, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was a great organization, that I fully supported back in the 1960s and early 1970s. It was unquestionably a key player in securing equal rights for Blacks during the time of palpable racial inequalities.  Sadly, since the early 1970s it has gone the way of most great movements. It became a business. Later, it metastasized into a full-blown racket or hustle. It has become a multi-million dollar “race business.”  It mostly does very little to address black-on-black crime, poverty, fraudulent inner-city education and methodologies, and a host of other infirmities affecting the black underclass. This is not to say, that organizations claiming to speak for blacks could not do something useful. It is just easier (not to mention lucrative) for Black Lives Matter, Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, and Black Civil Rights Lawyers like Ben Crump to scream systemic racism and white privilege. It takes very little effort on the part of full-time race hustlers and miseducated academics Angela Davis and Ibram X Kendi, to trout out the straw man of income inequality or institutional racism. The real culprit is outcome inequality.²  The latter can be placed at the door of failed social engineering programs like the Great Society and continued by a poisonous historical, cultural, and economic toxin known as Critical Race Theory. The black underclass will continue to be underlings if the cancer of family breakdown is not addressed.
