This is where the Dems come in. They tell blacks that whites gave them a gift, and whites will help them come up. We'll give them opportunities because they're black, because they're different, because they've had a rough time. It's condescending and demoralizing. Blacks come to believe they need gifts and handouts (or crime) to make it - and that they're entitled to it all. By contrast, conservatives (Americans) tell blacks: you're free, you're people, go serve God and the world - if you want something, you're free to earn it. This is equality, and it inspires the blacks that discover and embrace it. No conservative blacks, the ones who understand this country, burned anything. The looters were all in the cult of the Democrat racism: born losers who society has to coddle, who are entitled to payback for their oppression (a payback those horrible conservatives will never offer them), who are told that the ghetto is their culture and that violent African tribes are their heritage. They need to hear and accept that they are not blacks or African-anythings, but individual Americans - this land is your culture, these patriots are your heritage, if you want something you earn it, if you are wronged you appeal reasonably for redress; we live in liberty and justice, we respect liberty and justice, and we fight to protect liberty and justice for our fellow Americans. When they do that, it works; and the color of their skin ceases to matter to anyone, especially themselves. Right now, it is an orgy of liberalism and Democrat racism - the cultists will be acting up more and more outrageously; but every day, too, more and more blacks are hearing the conservative message (Sowell, Candace, JLP) so the numbers in the cult are diminishing.
