In most decision situations, you have at least two choices. You can focus on the losers and try to figure out why they are losers and where they may have gone wrong or you could also focus on winners who, for what ever reason, became winners. My complaint is that there is far too much focus on the losers. We need to start looking at the winners for a change. There are a lot of winners out there and we should start looking at their stories. That is the objective of this blog.
There are some groups that do better than others. One of those is the Asian community. As a group, they earn the most and are the richest by any measure. If that is the case, how do they do it? Is some group holding the Blacks back, but not the Asians? Isn't it interesting that no one has been able to identify that "invisible hand" that holds the Blacks back? You would think that with all the smart liberals out there that one of them would find out where that "invisible hand" is and where it came from? Why is it not holding back Asians? That is because there is no "invisible hand" and Asians know it. What they do is very simple. They work hard, are thrifty, value education and value the family. Sounds too simple doesn't it? How could Asians possibly be the riches people in the USA and do it by those few things above? There has to be some thing else going on behind the curtain, but what? Does it have to be some kind of magic!!!
I was reading that the University of California, Berkley had about 25% Asians when they only account for less than 5% of the population. There have even been attempts, under the cloak of diversity, to try to "reduce" the number of Asians at UC Berkley. This was done while diversity was used to allow Blacks to enroll who were much less qualified than Asians who were denied admission. That does not sound to me like an "invisible hand" holding Blacks back does it?
I was also reading about an young Asian who wanted to become a musician and was very concerned that it would cause his family to be ashamed of him. They expected him to become a doctor or an engineer and attend a major university and he wanted to become a musician. The point is that Asians are very concerned that their actions could bring "shame" onto the family and conduct themselves in such a way as to make their family proud of them. When Black parents have a daughter or son who does not complete high school, do you think those children are concerned about bring "shame" onto their parents? I don't think they are concerned at all. How about their daughter getting knocked up out of wed lock? Do you think their daughter is concerned about bringing "shame" onto the family? Again, I don't think so. Did you ever see an Asian giving all kinds of complex hand shakes to their friends? No again! Do you see Blacks doing this? All the time. Did you ever drive by a 7-11 and see a bunch of Asians standing around out side smoking pot? No again. How many times have you seen a group of Blacks doing this? Many times. If you were to go into an engineering or pre-med class room at a major university, how many Blacks do you think you would see? I have never seen one, but I know there must be a few some place. Have you ever seen in the News where an Asian killed another Asian? It must happen, but I have never seen it, but how about Blacks?
I could keep this up all day, but I think that you get the idea. We have to stop looking at what Blacks are doing and focus on what they should be doing. They should be hanging around with Asians rather than their Black friends down at the 7-11. They should stay in school and do well. Black fathers should start taking responsibility for their children. Black girls should stop getting knocked up out of wed lock. All easy stuff that does not cost a dime.
