they re protesting. you got all the social justice you need. i lived through segregation the freedom we have today is absolutely remarkable and we as a people have not yet absorbed that. we ve not absorbed the fact that our problem is no longer racism. our problem is freedom. we have to learn to deal with freedom. and the only way to do that, it s going to have to be grounded in individual responsibility. that s the only chance you have with freedom is to take charge of your life and make a life for yourself. ralph ellison, one of my all-time favorite writers talks about this. the group is the gift of the individuals. the goal is not to create the uncreated conscience of your race, but to create the
assimilation into certain traditions and beliefs and values. universal truths. eternal truths. and when a society doesn t have that, a society can t succeed, it balkanizes, tribalizes, it breaks apart. it s at war with itself. i personally see this with immigration, that you have a political party that doesn t believe in it. you have corporate entities, different languages, press button one for this and button two for this and so on and so forth and it s concerning to me, is it a bigger problem because assimilation is americanization, that s the point intended. and the point here is not necessarily with immigration, the issue of americanization, you ve touched on this, too. it s crucial for the people who are already here, to be
it escapes me. they facilitate our problem, that psychology by which we say freedom doesn t exist. white guilt forces them to facilitate that and to then claim this proves we re not racist. there is a symbiotic bond between black america and white america and always has been, takes different forms at different times but right now since the 60s, white americans have been guilty, and again, as i say, it s not that they feel guilt, it is they feel this pressure, this threat, and so they behave guiltily, it s the braving guiltily that s the problem. i m going to do something, i m going to actually take microaggressions seriously. i m going to hire people to teach you about that, when it s
