Quote: But that, if you are attributing the ineptness of these behaviors to the color of their skin without at least a consideration for the environment and culture that created this mess.
I am using "black" and "white" as convenient descriptors of groups pf people who come from, and share different environmental and cultural backgrounds. "White" for folks of primarily European descent, and "black" for folks of primarily sub-saharan african decent. I use Asian, Hispanic, Arab,Native-American, Eskimo, etc., the same way.
The" ineptness" as you put it, of one group compared to another - again speaking in generalities, there are always going to be individual exceptions, with regard to a particular endevor, for example, efficiently running a large city or even a whole country, is not a value judgement, it is a simple, easily observable phenomenon.
All ethnic groups are not the same. Pretending that they are, wishing that they were, trying to arrange things, by law or force , to try make them the same, is simply trying to defy reality. I also happen to believe that "equality under the law" while an admirable goal, doesn't really exist either. Even in this country, where it is supposed to be a fundamental tenet of our system of governance.
Culture and environmental factors do make a difference of course. Which is why some of the black run cities in the US, crappy as they are, are still a heck of a lot better than places like Harare, Nairobi, Luanda, and Mogadishu.
I don't know what LBJ has got to do with any of this either. Is "Texan" a race.
