Entry: One Cheer for Hil Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/one_cheer_for_hil#14509 Post contents: <<The overwhelming majority of First Blacks (an ethnic group, not a race) in 1950 were not Lumpenproles.>> Absolutely correct, Mr Cundiff. People today forget just how "middle class" the Negro really was 60 years ago. For example: http://www.africanamericans.com/images2/elsegundo[1].gif Negro "Rosie Riveters", seperate, but equal. The same could be said for the crime rates among the Negro 50 years ago, as well as the marriage rate, the divorce rate, and the bastard child rate. Only with Society's Great Leap Forward of LBJ, was the Negro destroyed both socially and economically. The same goes for my cousins in the Mountains; the meth-heads, the child-less "fathers", the woefully ignorant, etc. The Negro and the Hillbilly both have something in common: they were destroyed by "Big Government Programs", "urban renewal", the Appalachian Regional Commission, "big business", etc. They have made both the inner city of the Negro and the Mountains of the Hillbilly a "playground" for monied Yankees, Yuppies, Buppies, and assorted other "Dumb Americans" (the kind you see going to Dollywood).
