I mentioned "culture" yesterday on FADG. So many things happened in the 60's and 70's that unless a person experienced both sides of before and after, they wouldn't see the "world owes me a living" change. And unfortunately, much of that change came about when politicians decided to put extra effort in trying to buy votes, rather than help alleviate the problems.

Thanks for the link of that article, LB. One only has to insert Vietnamese instead of Black, and easily we can see the difference. Our new Vietnamese citizens and others from that part of the world work so hard (most of them) and we very seldom hear of crimes coming from those relatively new Americans.

And that explanation is cultural. At the same moment in the sixties when Indianapolis experienced a moderate degree of deindustrialization, the black street began to embrace the entitlement-seeking, guilt-mongering, society-is-to-blame worldview now so drearily familiar among black leaders. This resentment-based ideology has dissuaded legions of blacks from seeking the American Dream out of the wrongheaded belief that the country is too racist and morally corrupt for them to embrace it.
