[QUOTE="Philonous, post: 1498449, member: 22043"] I actually grew up in Baltimore prior to the city becoming almost totally black and perpetually violent. I now live in Pennsylvania, and although there are blacks around me up here, they are not like the sorts of blacks I remember from Baltimore. They want to be here, whereas the blacks of Baltimore were forever contemptuous of being in a city and nation founded by whites. And I understand both sides of the issue. I’m not saying the Baltimore blacks are justified in their behavior—they’re not—but by the same token, “they’re that way just because they’re black” isn’t entirely truthful. There was an external impetus that inclined them in such direction. After the Civil War the Confederate sympathizers in Maryland were at a loss. Those who owned farmlands were suddenly without slaves to tend them. However, the nation was now transforming to an industrial economy, and any southerner who could and did invest in steam-driven machinery or the factories/shops that included such devices could get rich. And so in late 19th century Baltimore you saw these former Confederate sympathizers who sold their farmlands and were now getting into industry in a big way. And in some regards it was more economical for them, as they could pay people slave wages (freed blacks and poor whites alike) without having to worry about caring for “old slaves” who were no longer fit for work, or who were otherwise injured beyond their capacity for labor. [My own relatives were very much poor whites—they were coal miners (originally from Pennsylvania).] And so, in a sense, in the Mid-Atlantic the slave system never ended, just as America borrowing from the British caste system never really ended. And a lot of resentment grew amongst blacks and the laboring classes against this “class framework”. Farther down south there may have actually been a degree of “noblesse oblige” practiced among property owners. But no, that absolutely wasn’t widespread in Baltimore. Far more the exception to the rule. Then there's the question of whether this was the Jews exacerbating the differences between “labor” and “capital” in order to sublimate their own unassailable differences with the Christian majority, or whether it was the greed of the Mid-Atlantic Christian gentry themselves. I’d say it was a mixture of both. Human greed is what it is (a cardinal vice that leads directly to mortal sin). At the same time, there were Jews in Baltimore who very much wanted to attack Christianity, and “black issues” and “labor issues” were ways of making it seem Christianity had failed. And so what you had were the Jews creating their “Ethical Societies”, or “Ethical Culture Movement”, which was basically an effort to make American ecumenical Christianity seem worse than useless in handling 20th century challenges. And to spearhead this they found a gentile front-woman—Madelyn Murray O’Hair—who in 1960 was living and working in Baltimore as a psychiatric social worker. O’Hair was very bitter at the adulterous father of her first child refusing to divorce his wife, staying married on Christian grounds. She then became an outspoken atheist pushing Soviet communism as a panacea. And so she would serve as a sort of gentile “magnet” to attract attention away from the Jewish Ethical Society as they got Christian prayer and any/all sort of Bible reading banned from American public schools. O’Hair didn’t stay in Baltimore after winning her 1963 SCOTUS case against school Bible-reading, as her house was then constantly pelted with rocks. Instead, she moved to Hawaii and married a Marine who was stationed there (who was actually an FBI informant). She also founded American Atheists, gradually growing rich on donations. And by then Baltimore had a lot of collective bargaining, mostly through the Teamsters at the Port of Baltimore, and so the local Jewish drive to push communism began to wane. The result is the Jews switched to encouraging their Critical Race Theory (which at the time was understood as “black revolutionary nationalism”). This coincided with the baby boom generation’s love of recreational drug use. The result is that in the early 1970’s the Port of Baltimore became a major ingress for heroin and cocaine to enter the country, with the sale of these drugs creating a permanent illicit economy that supported Baltimore’s black community. The result of these 2 things—CRT and a gang-controlled narcotics economy—made it so Baltimore’s blacks became impossible for anyone else to live around. And so throughout the 80’s and 90’s you saw a giant white exodus up to Bel-Air and other parts of Harford County. With the millennium you saw Baltimore’s black community implode into its own violence, narcissism, and outright stupidity. CRT had taught the blacks that all their bad behaviors could be blamed on “white racism”, with drug gangs now running their own communities through “street justice”. In fact, if you look at a map, you can see where I-95 cuts through the southeast tip of Baltimore.

This is difficult to explain to people who don’t understand it, and is the one instance in which I absolutely will justify Protestantism, do so over the desires of both Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity, as Protestantism gave the western world Isaac Newton and George Berkeley, both of whom were Christian, and it was only the western world’s selfishness that inclined it to trade Berkeley for David Hume, if not also later replacing Hegel with Marx, replacing “science plus God” with “science plus godlessness”.
