今天上班路上，看見聖路易斯的Central West End的商家專門雇人裝門板，防玻璃被暴徒砸或者入店搶劫。昨天入夜還行，至少我沒有聽到槍聲，但是小區董事送郵件給大家，探尋增加保安巡邏密度的可能性，並且引證CWE已經圍窗戶了。昨夜聖市中心的7-11店被燒毀，據說居民聽到飛機夜裏執勤的聲音。我在回家的路上，又見風起雲湧的商家在設立防暴夾板。
我始終認為，60年代在美國興起的自由主義運動對黑人家庭產生了致命的打擊。我曾經有位學生是籃球名星球員，他崇拜NBA球星所以想在大學裏學“非洲裔美國人研究”的專業，我反對了他的選擇。我告訴他，那專業裏的有些教授本身就是散布仇恨美國的種族主義者。他似乎聽了我的話，在球星詹姆斯的故鄉克裏夫蘭的Case Western以工程專業畢業，看球和學業兩不誤。我佩服湯姆遜大法官和Ben Carson這些優秀的黑人知識分子，他們能看到黑人社區的內在問題。讓我們來看看黑人經濟學教授Walter E Williams是怎麽說的：
"In every census from 1890 to 1954, blacks were either just as active as or more so than whites in the labor market. During that earlier period, black teen unemployment was roughly equal to or less than white teen unemployment. As early as 1900, the duration of black unemployment was 15 percent shorter than that of whites; today it's about 30 percent longer. Would anyone suggest that there was less racial discrimination during earlier periods?"
"As late as 1950, only 18 percent of black households were single parent. From 1890 to 1940, a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults. In 1938, black illegitimacy was about 11 percent instead of today’s 75 percent. In 1925, 85 percent of black households in New York City were two-parent. Today, the black family is a mere shadow of its past."
"The most damage done to black Americans is inflicted by those politicians, civil rights leaders and academics who assert that every problem confronting blacks is a result of a legacy of slavery and discrimination."

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies:
1 the antiwar left
2 black people.
You understand what I'm saying?
We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either 1) against the war or 2) black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily,
we could disrupt those communities.
We could arrest their leaders,
raid their homes,
break up their meetings,
and vilify them night after night on the evening news.
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.

我有個越南裔朋友， 修車鋪修理工兼老板， 多半跟社會下層打交道， 說：
“黑人不高興了， 動手”
“白人不高興了， 拿出相機四處拍照”
“都不好惹”
原話 “When black people get upset, they become physical; when white people get upset, they take our cameras and take pictures everywhere ”
