   For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an   
   experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and   
   working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people   
   taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be   
   fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?   
      
   The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a   
   majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples   
   with no written language and virtually no intellectual   
   achievements. Acting on a policy that was not fair to either   
   group, the government released newly freed black people into a   
   white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled   
   with racial discord ever since.   
      
   Decade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters   
   never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right   
   formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after   
   program to get the result they wanted. They created the   
   Freedman's Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the   
   Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race   
   preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight   
   basketball.   
      
   Their new laws intruded into people's lives in ways that would   
   have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard   
   troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of   
   association. Over the protests of parents, they put white   
   children on buses and sent them to black schools and vice versa.   
   They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and   
   endless hand wringing to close the "achievement gap."   
      
   To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and   
   even private statements on race. They hung up Orwellian public   
   banners that commanded whites to "Celebrate Diversity!" and "Say   
   No To Racism." Nothing was off limits if it might salvage the   
   experiment.   
      
   Some thought that what W.E.B. Du Bois called the Talented Tenth   
   would lead the way for black people. A group of elite, educated   
   blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world   
   what blacks were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are   
   the black Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers,   
   doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough.   
      
   For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed   
   by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and   
   promote social stability. That is what is missing. Through the   
   years, too many black people continue to show an inability to   
   function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.   
      
   Detroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone,   
   and majority-black cities all over America are beset by   
   degeneracy and violence. And blacks never take responsibility   
   for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and   
   resentment. Across the generations and across the country, as we   
   have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati,   
   and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial   
   incident away.   
      
   The white elite would tell us that this doesn't mean the   
   experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more   
   money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more   
   opportunities. But nothing changes no matter how much money is   
   spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many   
   black geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is   
   president.   
      
   Some argue it's a problem of "culture," as if culture creates   
   people's behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame   
   "white privilege." But since 1965, when the elites opened   
   America's doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and   
   India-people who are not white, not rich, and not "connected"-   
   have quietly succeeded.   
      
   While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and   
   getting top scores on the SAT, black "youths" are committing   
   half the country's violent crime-crime, which includes viciously   
   punching random white people on the street for the thrill of it,   
   that has nothing to do with poverty.   
      
   The experiment has failed. Not because of culture, or white   
   privilege, or racism. The fundamental problem is that white   
   people and black people are different. They differ   
   intellectually and temperamentally. These differences result in   
   permanent social incompatibility.   
      
   Our rulers don't seem to understand just how tired their white   
   subjects are with this experiment. They don't understand that   
   white people aren't out to get black people; they are just   
   exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social   
   pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind   
   racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the   
   excuses, the reflexive animosity. The elites explain everything   
   with "racism," and refuse to believe that white frustration   
   could soon reach the boiling point.   
      
   They will be the only ones who are surprised when real   
   revolution comes to the United States, and that it is white   
   people who lead the revolt.
