Obama Calls for More Taxes to Pay for the Irresponsibility of Black Fathers

We can always appreciate the political essays of the NYT—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1]-- as they attempt to ‘form public opinion’ by posing serious social problems, blaming them on white males if possible and finding new and uniquely maudlin ways to beg for federal funds.

 The theme: Black fathers desert their children.

““We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception.”“[2]  [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]This link references all quotes in this essay unless otherwise stated.

““They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.”“

One might think that this is a new phenomenon after listening to this. It seems that Obama [ called O’Bozo now in my blogs] has uncovered some dark social secret known only the black community and his does have the proper solution to the problem: more money from white tax payers. What else? As Rush Limbaugh wonders, what would have happened if a white person would have said this? That would be racist as Geraldine Ferro found out. She has now the second-highest visibility of all white racist[3] in American following, of course, David Duke. Bill Clinton is a distant third.

““Don’t get carried away with that eighth-grade graduation,”“ he said, bringing many members of the congregation to their feet, applauding. ““You’re supposed to graduate from eighth grade.”“

““We need families to raise our children,”“ he said at the service on Sunday. ““We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t just make you a father. What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child. Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.”“

We can wonder which one of his 20 speech writers wrote this tear-jerking taunt.

All this is very progressive and also very stale. This ‘responsibility’ essay dates back before the Roman times. The major factor is that we have several thousand ‘studies’ that describe this problem and supply numerous remedies along with complicated, ineffective and always expensive social ‘programs.’ Of course, the education bandwagon is launched, as always, with kazoos and song as the victims and their mentors flock to the mail box to get their federal checks.

So, after massaging a failed social issue we wonder where   the punch line might be.

Al Sharpton takes some umbrage with this as Obama treads on his turf:

““There are a lot of those who will say that he should not be airing dirty laundry, those that will say he’s beating up on the victims,”“ Mr. Sharpton said in a telephone interview. ““This will not be something that will be unanimously applauded, but I think that not discussing it is not going to make it go away.”“—Al Sharpton.

A double negative, the opposite of which presumes that talking about it will accomplish something. It has not in the last 60 years.

Here is one theory on the basis of this speech from the author of this NYT piece:

““The remarks Sunday were Mr. Obama’s first since he claimed the nomination that has addressed the problems confronting blacks in a comprehensive and straightforward way. While Mr. Obama’s remarks were directed at a black, churchgoing audience, his campaign hopes they resonate among white social conservatives in a race where these voters may be up for grabs.””—Anon NYT writer.

 All we can say here is ‘here we go again.’ We have had more than 50 years of busing [a failure], affirmative action programs [all failures], educational experiments [all failures], special schools [all failures], Head Start [a failure] and midnight basketball, outcome unknown. The worst school system in the US is in Washington DC [4], some argue Cleveland [5], Detroit [6] or Los Angeles [7], where they spend twice as much on students as any place else.  Many of these cities are on the Top Ten Murder List as well. [8]The academic achievements of black students in all black, mostly white and mixed white and black schools and colleges are abysmal.  More money is clearly not the answer. [9]We should note that this speech is unnecessary when Asians and Jews are considered as they have managed to excel in education without all these phony social programs.  Money cannot change IQ levels. Obama [O’Bozo in this case] wants to ignore IQ and SAT scores. [10] The reasons are obvious. [11]

The sad fact here is that most black Americans cannot succeed in school. We can wonder how immigrants from Nigeria, Viet Nam, India, Cambodia, China, Philippines, Sudan, Korea, Japan, Liberia and Haiti [in Miami for instance] can do well in all levels of education in the US and the descendents of black slaves somehow cannot manage to participate in the process.

So, this is not a plan to accomplish any goal other than to promise more money to blacks for their ‘education’ and to, again, push the tautological theorem that more money can solve education problems in the black communities in the US. It never has to date.

There are many ways to get whites to vote for higher and higher and higher taxes and this one is a slick construct from some Ivy League think tank.

And, when the ‘new’ social program fails to encourage black fathers to take ‘responsibility’ for their frequently unwanted offspring then what? Of, of course, we need another social program!

The majesty of this tax pitch is that the problem never goes away and the welfare programs merely create more disorder in the black communities and that calls for more programs.  The problem regenerates itself. This circular essay is a political winner for the urban left where Obama learned his politics.

And the tax whoring cranks on……….[12]

All these people have is your tax money and they think theyneed more. The solution to their problems is spendingyourmoney on phony social programs that will fail so they can bawl and beg for more.

This is hopeless.
