In the Heat of the Night--redeux

From Charlotte Stoker Manning, Chair of Women, in the NAACP of Romney:
"You cannot possibly talk about jobs for Black people at the level he's coming from.  He's talking about entrepreneursip, savings accounts--Black people can barely find a way to work".
Black people can't start or operate businesses?  Black people can't maintain savings accounts?  The major wonder is why there is no outrage on the part of Black America concerning the utter diminishing of their most basic capabilities by an NAACP leader.
Consider the following:

1. Black people in America are, by far, the richest Black people on earth.
2. A Swedish family of four lives at 90% of the standard enjoyed by a Black American family of four.
3. Black Catholics, for example, constitute 9% of the total Black population in the U.S. They have some of the highest educational attainment rates, most stable marital rates, and highest average income rates of any subgroup in the US ethnic mix.
4. Tens of thousands of small businesses in New York are owned by Black Jamaicans, and Blacks from the West Indies.  Skin color was no inhibitor to the dreams, aspirations, and drive of these important entrepreneurs.

Many years ago, maybe in the mid-Sixties, there was a good movie entitled "In the Heat of the Night", starring Sidney Poitier as a Black police officer from Philadephia who was drawn into the solving of a murder mystery in the deepest most blatantly racist south.  In the movie, the character, Virgil Tibbs meets the patriarch of the area, a caricature of southern white racism, a man who raises orchids.  The southern patriarch racist compared the assiduous care of orchids to the care needed by Black people in his employ.  Honestly, his characterizations of the limited abilities of Black people in the Sixties does not hold a candle to the implications of Stoker-Manning's statement in 2012.
I wonder what good all this money expended on "racial healing", embracing diversity, Community Development Block Grants, etc., ad infinitum.--all the tools of the social welfare class and what do we as a country have to show for it?
A proud people who have survived four hundred years of various degrees of repression being herded back on to the government/social welfare plantation because they can't maintain a savings account.
