"We Would Ask Why Their Gods Took No Steps To Improve The Morals Of Their Worshippers"

In Chicago, the violence rages unabated despite the best efforts of the State.

(Following the videotaped beating death of a black boy by his peers) U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan hurriedly flew to the Windy City promising more federal aid, while the Chicago school system launched a $40-million social-services and security program to connect “at-risk” male students with social workers.

Not surprisingly, the federal and local efforts have borne little fruit. Since Albert’s death, 78 more youth under the age of 19 have been killed in Chicago, overwhelmingly in black-on-black shootings.

The State, worshipped as a god by our Ivy League masters in DC, our smirking entertainers and our educational establishment, is striving to stem the tide of violence with its own religion.

Chicago’s South Side marked the anniversary of Albert’s death with a Parent Resource Exposition, organized by the Black Star Project, a black empowerment group. The purpose of the exposition was to link up parents—i.e., single mothers—with social-services and health programs that allegedly would keep their children away from gang life.

They have failed and failed and failed.

Such vacuous sentiments, while well-intentioned, are utterly beside the point. “The enemy” attacking Chicago’s young people is not a nameless force but something quite specific: the disappearance of paternal responsibility. All five of Albert’s suspected killers, as well as Albert himself, came from fatherless families. The overwhelming majority of perpetrators and victims in Chicago’s four-decades-long juvenile murder spree have come from single-parent homes.

And where are our condescending, ivory tower, insulated, secular masters crusading now? What moral precept are they striving to the limits of their strengths to teach us while fatherless black boys are gunning each other down and siring yet another generation of fatherless children? What justice do they cry out for while the bodies of dead or emotionally scarred boys and girls litter the streets?

They want us all to support men marrying other men.
