I’m not saying I never “liked” black people, but the racial differences were obvious from childhood. I lived in a wealthy, white area of St. Louis and they bussed in blacks from some God-forsaken area of the inner-city. The kids smelled, were violent and could barely read. One girl with some dumbass name, LaQuita or some such nonsense, was one of 12 children living a single apartment. She was functionally illiterate at age 10. I remember having a Chinese substitute teacher ask her how it is possible that she made it to this age without learning to read. She dropped out at 14 because she was pregnant. We did Sex Ed with these kids in the 6th or 7th grade. None of the white kids had even been kissed, and these gross, hood-rat girls were sitting around talking about advanced sexual activity. In high school, they generally hung around the same area of the second floor, which whites avoided. Almost without exception, they were taking practically Special Ed classes, and were failing, dropping out and getting knocked up left, right and sideways. Every once in a while, one black kid would move beyond his or her circumstances and excel in white classes and environments. I think I remember one or two inner-city kids being able to do this. The county blacks had much more success, likely because leaving the city requires a high IQ and a two-parent household. My high school had 2500 people in it. The whites were subjected to all of this bullshit just so that like two inner-city kids would take an opportunity that they were given. The vast majority wouldn’t and COULDN’T rise to the occasion. Now, what am I supposed to do with this life experience? Assume that it is the culture? Then why, when given a world-class education, did these blacks still fail? Only stupid people ignore a massive case study like this, even if it is just your own personal experience. It spans decades and has a sample size of many hundred or thousand. It’s obviously race.
