Nice to hear

I was watching Belling and Co. today and heard Gerard Randel say that the problems in MPS are caused by the community. Black and Hispanic leaders need to get together and figure out how to change the anti-social and community culture. Then the white guilt liberal gave the same wrong excuses that make sure minorities stay in their situation.

We need the tide to turn when it comes to expectations and approaches to urban education...its not getting better...

The answer involves raising the prestige of family and tradition and fighting the commercialized mish-mash coming from the media and hollywood.

Men will need moral instruction -- part of their moral purpose in life isn't some Nietzschean quest to create your own values, but to be the head of a household.

The feminazis and the counterculture free love revolutionaries will never stand for this. So, the societal problem will persist, with racism and bigotry being trotted out as the usual explanations for underachievement.

Why is the average Arab income in United States $69,000 a year-- over 20K higher than the national average? Why aren't Ron and Jim's bigots keeping these people down, especially after 911?

Or look black households. Among those that included a married couple, over 50 percent were middle class earning above $50,000, and 26 percent earned more than $75,000. As Walter Williams asked, "how in the world did these black families manage not to be poor? Did America's racists cut them some slack?"

The answer is the family, the family, and the family. Yes, if we can teach about homos and condoms in school, then there is a priori nothing wrong with teaching traditional morality instead.

Gerard is usually right on the money, and his assessment certainly
tells it exactly like it is.
