This isn't counter to your points, more pontificating.
I am left to wonder just how much of the modern problems with and from black people is do to the focus on college.
Here are some 'hate facts'
1: Black people are, on average, lower IQ than Whites or Asians. The difference isn't massive, hell often times its trivial, but it is existent. This makes getting into higher learning harder.
2: Blacks are, on average, more physically robust than white people or asians. Again, the difference isn't massive but it does lean more towards the physical labor.
3: There are -good- elements to black culture, a strong focus on faith, family (The fatherless issue is one caused more by external than internal factors), brotherly bonds, and community.
If not for the focus on college, I could see black people entering the more physically demanding jobs or those that require more technical rather than book knowledge (Plumbers, etc). These blue collar jobs tend to be fairly well paying, and would allow black people to make up a very strong backbone of middle class workers whose natural aptitudes lend credence towards those jobs. Entire families, working together in a large community of those workers. Its ideal for them.
But instead, they are forced towards college where they will not excel. In fact, they have been forced towards it since the civil rights era, where suddenly black people specifically were pushed towards higher learning.
I think it says something that, prior to this push, black people occupied exactly the kind of jobs I mention above. We had other issues which needed solving, but black people had found an economic and societal niche which not only did they fit in, they excelled in.
Mix in other polices, absolutely wrecked welfare and 'gibs' programs which made them reliant on the state to only name a couple, and you have a people who have been pushed away from what they'd do well at, and instead have slowly stagnated and rotted.
The thing that really confuses me is that, it seems to be some kind of generational thing. Like it started at a certain point. Maybe the 60s?
Because I've met quite a few old school black people, people in their 60s or 70s and as a rule of thumb they tend to be wise, have an admirable work ethic, religious and very traditional.
But then you go further down the line even one generation, let alone two generations, and those people are generally doing very poorly.
My thinking is, it has something to do with politicians [Democrats primarily] keeping entire generations of black people badly dependent on welfare, food stamps and affirmative action.
They do this, obviously because dependent people are very easy to control. All you have to do is say: "The OTHER side will cut off all of these programs! You wouldn't want that!"
And of course because they are dependent on said programs, they'll almost always vote a certain way unless they break out of the cycle and walk off the plantation.
But the ones who break out of the cycle are called coons and Uncle Toms for "acting white" and their families tend to resent them for not sticking with the scheduled programming.
Lyndon B. Johnson - " "I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years."
The destruction of the nuclear family certainly hasn't helped at all. The scourge of modern "black culture" which is basically just ghetto, gangsta culture has fucked up generations of young black men.
And as you said, the push toward college and the affirmative action shit where if you're the right shade, all you need to get into college is a fucking pencil, also haven't helped either.
Personally I would like to see a more homogeneous community ethnically, but for anyone to say that the ills of black communities are purely organic, I think it's inaccurate. It's hard to minimize all of the other shit and just call it an IQ problem.
I've been referred to as a Nazi or a bigot [who hasn't at this point?] but although there may be some truth to that, that doesn't mean I want to see black people fail or put in camps. The contrary, I'd like to see them succeed.
And if all of those aforementioned issues would cease, they most likely would to a good extent, much like the older black people who were around before all of this shit started happening.
That doesn't mean I think we'll all sing kumbaya and live in harmony forever, but I think the leftists by hand-waving away all of the problems among blacks are doing them a grave disservice and also mitigating their agency.
For believing so much in "black power" and "helping the oppressed" the leftists sure seem to think that black people can't do a god damn thing on their own.
