I think I agree with the statement ...Prof Collier,<br /><br />I think I agree with the statement "Black willingness to do all that is best for itself should lead, rather than follow, the law" in the "game plan for achievement" if I understand your point correctly. Are you saying Blacks should "lead the law" by example? For instance, by being top-notch citizens in our American society? <br /><br />@lincoldperry - been following the Atlanta Public school mess too. Does it matter what color the whistleblower was or board is? Are they more to blame than the cheaters?atldudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-54788867848243404942011-02-21T08:18:42.609-08:002011-02-21T08:18:42.609-08:00ahhh cheating.

White? Who knows. But cheating is cheating regardless of color.<br />And it happens a-l-l the time especially in our entitlement society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-34555230718863804772011-02-20T20:10:01.228-08:002011-02-20T20:10:01.228-08:00Mr Collier sir, I agree completely with you on thi...Mr Collier sir, I agree completely with you on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-88637818416959886582011-02-19T18:34:07.427-08:002011-02-19T18:34:07.427-08:00Lincolnperry, I have no grip on your chains, sir. ...Lincolnperry, I have no grip on your chains, sir. You illuminate my very point, in treating honesty as a linear function, when in fact it is not. Dishonesty is also non-linear, as is the application of laws. In case of the law, it is also minimalist in its non-linearity, and to ignore this is to repeatedly fall victim to that ignorance. I will say again, cheating is bad in action and policy. But a strategy of advancement that relies on laws, to defend against adversarial cheating, is ineffective out of the gate.James C.

This will never change. But continued black mono-reliance on legal remedies for protection and advancement fits Einstein's definition of insanity.

Circumvention of laws is another. I am not advocating cheating, rather that acknowledgement of circumvention must be part of any winning approach. The lengths the individual reaches is a personal choice, which carries its own risks. Perhaps blacks are demonized, but not for cheating, rather for ignorant cheating. Creative (advancing) cheating, more than not, is greeted positively, despite (distracting) moral protestations.James C.
