The other night, Fox News featured the (quite trenchant) political and philosophical analyst, Victor Davis Hanson.
Hanson noted something of considerable significance, I believe.
Basically (and I am paraphrasing), he said the following:
When some groups (as a whole) fail to succeed in America, there are three theoretical reasons:
(1) These groups just lack the native intelligence to succeed.
(2) These groups have rejected "bourgeois" American values--values that include patriotism, a hard-work ethic, and deferring childrearing until after marriage--and are therefore paying the price.
(3) There is systemic bigotry that is keeping down some groups.
He noted that the Politically Correct Class unanimously endorses #3--and rejects the others out of hand.
Personally, I gravitate strongly toward #2.
Thoughts?
