| We get letters and this one was a doozy. | |
| I like that you address the issues of Black America. | |
| So far, so good. | |
| But then it took a turn. | |
| I hate that you make it seem like it is Black America's fault. | |
| I make it seem like Black America's fault. | |
| Sure, things are better than they were. | |
| But please do not forget that the people who make laws, barring people of color from restaurants, water fountains, and the fronts of buses are still alive and making the laws of today. | |
| What? | |
| Frankly, I have seen certain changes in the United States over the last two years that surprise me. | |
| I've seen levels of compliance with the Civil Rights Bill and changes that have been most surprising. | |
| So on the basis of this, I think we may be able to get a Negro president in less than 40 years. | |
| I would think that this could come in 25 years or less. | |
| Bull Connor is still alive? | |
| You can never whip these birds if you don't keep you and them separate. | |
| I found that out in Birmingham. | |
| Alabama's George Wallace is alive today? | |
| And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever. | |
| He continues, if you and I ran a race and I tripped you, then looked at you from the finish line and asked you why you fell, you would be lost for answers. | |
| Sir? | |
| There's a rather startling statistic, and that is, if you take blacks who have high school education, who get married and stay married, who take any kind of job, even if it's a minimum wage job, the rate of poverty among that group of people who can be characterized like that is 4%. | |
| And what we're saying, what we're doing, we're saying that much of the problems that black people face are from people who behave in different ways than that. | |
| That is, people who do not behave according to the old cultural values of going through school, getting out of school, getting married and staying married, and taking a job. | |
| Now so it seems like the solution is, well, we need to teach people, black people, that well, it's a good idea to finish school. | |
| It's a good idea for girls to keep their legs closed until they get married. | |
| It's a good idea for you to get a job rather than to be standing on street corners. | |
| It is 2021. | |
| Who has tripped you? | |
| What person has stopped your progress? | |
| Please name that lawmaker. | |
| Please name that person. | |
| Who the hell are you talking about? | |
| 2021? | |
| Who tripped you? | |
| Same applies for the leaders of a country to impose redline housing, which, by the way, still exists on current loan and home purchase documents in use today. | |
| Redlining in 2021? | |
| Are you kidding me? | |
| The idea that credit-worthy black borrowers can't get loans for houses is a big fat lie. | |
| A young lawyer named Barack Obama joined with other lawyers and filed a class-action lawsuit against Citigroup on behalf of 186 plaintiffs who claimed that because of their race they were denied mortgages. | |
| Citicorp settled, gave them mortgages. | |
| Virtually none of them was able to keep their homes, which suggested that the criteria that Citigroup was applying was exactly appropriate. | |
| Racism is easier to navigate, but speak to the fact that it is not gone. | |
| Okay, there are racists in America. | |
| Pick out your magic wand, wave it over America, and remove every smidgen of racism from the hearts of white America. | |
| Do we still have 70% of black kids raised without a father? | |
| Do we still have 25% of young black men in the inner city with criminal records? | |
| Do we still have a 50% dropout rate in some of our urban high schools? | |
| If the answer is yes, can you knock it off? | |
| You act like your success and Obama's equals to all black success. | |
| Guilty whether Obama or Larry Elder, hard work wins. | |
| You get out of life what you put into it. | |
| You cannot control the outcome, but you are 100% in control of the effort. | |
| And before you bitch, moan, and whine about what somebody did to you or said to you, go to the nearest mirror and look at it and say, what could I have done to change the outcome? | |
| Follow that formula, sir, and you will be successful. | |
| I work for a local fire department which has hired chiefs of all races. | |
| But trust me, there are several members on board who feel that their Caucasian skin was overlooked for the job, not to mention the uncloaking of the Trumpers and their now open hatred. | |
| Now here our friend might be onto something, although I'm not sure he recognizes it, To the extent that discrimination remains in America, when you are in the public sector, you can do it without the same kind of downside as you can in the private sector, which is one of the reasons why government ought to be as small as possible. | |
| Believe it or not, most fire departments in America are voluntary or even private. | |
| Maybe that's the answer to your problem, sir. | |
| You want to make sure you're not jacked over, want to make sure that your talent is recognized. | |
| Maybe you ought to push to have your fire department privatized. | |
| Didn't think I was gonna go there, did you? | |
| How about telling both sides versus saying, if you work hard and keep your head down, you will be okay. | |
| If you work hard and keep your head down, you'll be better off than if you didn't work hard and you didn't keep your head down. | |
| How's that? | |
| Laughable that you cannot see the faces of our country's leadership and law enforcement and think, oh yes, everything is great now. | |
| $10,000 to your favorite charity where I said everything is great now. | |
| $10,000 to your favorite charity where I said racism no longer exists. | |
| Let me tell you something. | |
| In Baltimore 2015, where Freddie Gray died in the police van, Mayor of Baltimore Black, The number one, number two people running the police department, black. | |
| Every member of city council a Democrat, majority black. | |
| The state attorney who brought the charges against six officers, black. | |
| Three of the six officers, black. | |
| The judge before whom two of the officers tried their case, black. | |
| The U.S. Attorney General at the time, Loretta Lynch, Black. | |
| Oh, and the United States President at the time, Barack Obama, Black. | |
| And you want to talk about systematic racism, structural racism, endemic racism, when Blacks are in this case running the place? | |
| Knock it off! | |
| Perfect example is the fact that far more Caucasians agree with your positions and praise you to the high heavens for them. | |
| Far more Caucasians agree with my position and praise me to the high heavens. | |
| Like Nancy Pelosi? | |
| Like Chuck Schumer? | |
| Like Michael Moore? | |
| Like Bill Maher? | |
| Wow. | |
| With more education and focus, a major change in our understanding of our place in the country, we will do better." End of quote. | |
| Sir, next time I give a Brexit speech, I invite you to come. | |
| We are being manipulated. | |
| The number one problem facing the black community is not racist cops, it's not income inequality, it's not climate change. | |
| The number one problem facing the black community is the lack of fathers in the home. | |
| 70% of black kids are raised without fathers. | |
| And forget about elder, Barack Obama said, a kid raised without a father is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school, 20 times more likely to end up in jail. | |
| Now the question is, why have we gone from 25% of black kids born outside of wedlock in 1965 to 70% today? | |
| And the answer is, it's the welfare state. | |
| The welfare state is incentivizing women to marry the government and allowing men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility. | |
| And that's what we ought to be talking about. | |
| But we're not having that conversation because, again, they are manipulating us. | |
| They want us to think about racism, racism, racism. | |
| I thought that we put a fork in that when Barack Obama got elected in 2008. | |
| I mean, this is a man who got a higher percentage of the white vote than John Kerry did four years earlier. | |
| And by the way, Donald Trump got a lower percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney did four years earlier. | |
| And about this BS about Donald Trump sending a racist dog whistle to his supporters, riddle me this. | |
| The city over 100,000 that voted most for Donald Trump is Abilene, Texas. | |
| The city is about 140 years old. | |
| Guess which city of 140 years old just elected a black mayor? | |
| Abilene, Texas. | |
| Now, how does a racist city that pulled the lever for Donald Trump turn around and then vote for a black mayor overwhelmingly to run the town? | |
| How does that happen? | |
| My father told my brothers and me the same thing all the time. | |
| Hard work wins. | |
| You get out of life what you put into it. | |
| You cannot control the outcome, but damn it, you are 100% in control of the effort. | |
| And before you moan about what somebody did to you, look at the mirror and say to yourself, what could I have done to change the outcome? | |
| And finally, my father always told my brothers and me, sooner or later, bad things are going to happen. | |
| How you respond to those bad things will tell your mother and me if we raised a man. | |
| Keep those cards and letters coming, folks. | |
| Now remember, YouTube has demonetized us. | |
| So to keep me unbridled, on demand, and uncensored, just go to LarryTube.com. | |
| That's LarryTube.com because we've got a country to save. |
