Will Black lives be better after latest unrest?

CITIES HAVE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN THEIR FUTURE

RESPECT CANNOT BE FORCED 

We have seen the protests about the death of George Floyd now evolve into the a new phase. Cities are encouraged to diminish and or even disband their police department. Corporations are in the process of funding any so called black organization that threatens them with being label racist. A new national holiday is being called for, one that after questioning everyone I came into contact in the last week had never heard of before. This is likely due to everyone I know being racist.

We hear that the only solution to be forgiven for this situation is $14 Tirllion in reparations for slavery. The list goes on and becomes longer by the day. 

We see that the destruction of monuments and statues has now evolved into any American leader from the past.

We can expect that the growth of black civil rights organizations will now grow dramatically. Many will be headed by the same players that have been around for decades. Many will likely be just another cover for Marxist propaganda.

The real question is, will any of this actually increase the standard of living or bring respect to everyday black families? 

With chaos descending on the cities, we can see and actually witness now another round of white flight from the cities. This will result in a decline of the tax base. We can expect many businesses, including those willing to hand over money to black or Marxist activists, to refrain from building in the inner cities. The plight of the cities will become a major crisis of the near future. With the lack of revenue due to the shutdown and now the chaos from the activists, their future is dim.

The Federal government cannot rescue these cities. Only sound fiscal policy and economic development can save these cities and sadly it is very unlikely to happen.

What Blacks really want is respect. Personal respect and respect as a group. The events of the last few weeks have not produced any increase in respect. Respect cannot be forced or gained by intimidation or extortion. Affirmative action and other preferences, while maybe well meaning, will not produce respect. Pity at the plight of the black family will not produce respect. Advocating a redistribution of wealth based on groups will not produce respect.

Respect is an intangible that is either there or not. It is earned by a long sustained effort. It can be earned by people who may not even be liked. It is often even earned by enemies in war. It is earned by competitors whether winning or losing. It is a human emotion or whatever you want to call it that is not something that can be controlled or mustered up. All that we see going on now will not lead to more respect.
