Cruelly Unrequited Love
George loves Cruella, the bad girl who torments him, and spurns Constance, the good girl who loves him. Finally, Cruella goes too far; George sees her for what she is. He recognizes long-suffering Constance’s devotion and they live happily ever after. This trite story line, a romantic comedy staple, is also an apt description of the long-running, cruelly unrequited ideological love for government of much of the black establishment and its unfortunate followers, and their disdain for the ladder that has enabled so many to climb to success in America.
When Ferguson becomes a memory; after all the public figures and their media cronies have “felt their pain”—ritualistically denouncing violence and rioting, but excusing it as an understandable response to racism and oppression, then moving on to whatever grabs the headlines next—perhaps some blacks will see the charade for what it is. Individualism, entrepreneurialism, and capitalism are more demanding and less forgiving than Constance, but unlike Cruella government, they offer a real chance to climb the ladder, with rewards commensurate with effort and ability. The private economy has its imperfections, including racism, but it, not government, has been the American ticket out of poverty and powerlessness for over two centuries.

Regarding the effects of public school racial integration, it has created a lower performance level from all but the most radical students. Prior to integration public school offered programs to challenge better performing students via separate classes and higher level curriculum. This was halted in the interest of equality of education. The result is a lower level of education at the highest levels and fewer students able to do the work required in universities. A cynic might also observe that this greatly reduces competition from the middle and lower classes to the elite, and limits upward mobility of the 'rabble.' This lower quality spread to university level because students were not ready for university level challenges after only 12 years of government schools.
Integration of the public schools was the right thing to do, but elimination of advanced programs for better students of all races has helped destroy the competitiveness of the American labor force.
I don't think this was an accident or coincidence.
It is my experience that integration did not seem linked to non-merit-based policies: military schools and Catholic schools were integrated at about the same time as public schools but did not dive into non-scholastic-merit based policies (though they may have now).

A Note To Black People:
All my black friends have been intelligent, hard working achievers. But then, so have all my other friends. Even the friends who think of themselves as liberal because they espouse certain non-conservative agendas but are actually libertarian-lite. I have often wondered how it would be possible to get blacks free of their slavish (yes, I used that word) allegiance to the democrats.
After Ferguson, I have given up. What I saw was a group of immature crybabies, boo-hooing at their lot in life. Blaming everyone and everything for not taking care of them properly. They reminded me of a bunch of spoiled brats throwing tantrums because they didn't get their way. And their way was totally contrary to facts or reason. I'm through. I'm through watching black PhD's use twisted convoluted "logic" in order to excuse outrageous behavior, throwing lying on the floor and kicking their heels and hurting the very people that they are supposedly trying to help. I've seen enough of it. Stop it! Grow up, for goodness sakes! So somebody locked you in the glove box when you were a child. Get over it! Get to work and make something of yourselves. Don't think you can? I can tell you the life stories of my black friends and it will make you ashamed, that is, if you have any decency left in you.
Our founders set the expectations but retained the impediments for blacks to obtain individual rights. The removal of the impediments a little at a time created greater rage at each step and the ruling class was shocked to find anger in place of gratitude. This has segmented society into separate cultures even as conditions favored more acceptance of diversity. While it seems that progress is slow, there have been huge strides in my lifetime and I expect a continuation in the future.

have thoroughly taken over the subject of race, and
with the collusion of a cooperative media are working
towards another u.s. civil war. . the voters are
largely oblivious. -- j
p.s. at the end of this logical thought train,
is it not true that the real fight is between those
who want to get something for nothing ... and
those who make somethings?
"Expectations" are only tyranny if they are expectations of getting without earning.
As for anger -- some of the ruling class DID expect it; that's why a group of Americans in the 1830s founded Liberia as a place to send the blacks back to. The more of this unrest takes place, the more I believe we SHOULD send the troublemakers there. Rebellion is already grounds for loss of American citizenship.
