That goes back to his second point about the breakdown of the family.
I was out walking yesterday and saw three young brothers walking 3 abreast _in the street_. Cars were having to swerve into the lane that was supposed to be for oncoming traffic to avoid running over the young fools. Meanwhile, these young brothers were just strolling along, chatting each other up, and totally oblivious to the world around them.
As I walked, I started seriously thinking about what sort of training these young bloods were getting at home that led them to think what they were doing was sane, rational, and acceptable.
America's cultural values are 100%, totally, whacked. America was birthed out of violence, greed, and genocide. Everytime I hear Alabama, Billary, or McStrange talking about America's "goodness and greatness" I have to stifle the urge to throw up.
Unfortunately, the black family has acclimated far too much of the infamous American "can-do" spirit --- that demonic spirit which thinks that we "can-do" whatever we want and the whole rest of the world is supposed to just swerve into another lane and get the hell out of our way.
I hear this when our POTUS candidates speak. I saw it yesterday in the eyes of those three young brothers. I see it in the attitude of kids towards their teachers. I see it in the attitudes of the servers taking orders at Burger King. I see it in the attitudes of America towards Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia.
We are a nation of self-absorbed bullies. And, alas, black Americans are just as infected by the disease as our white fellow citizens.
Om, shanti, hetep, peace.
