Dismantling of America or rebuilding of American core values

I have seen Occupy Wall Street.  That failed as expected since drama is not a political movement and like every drama, such theatrical show also can sell tickets only for limited nights. Then came Women March against Trump. In some sense, it was historic. But again it made no political impact. One may argue, we have elected more women, liberal firebrand feminists in Congress in 2018. But bare truth is swing in Congress is a cyclical phenomenon. It didn't create any impact. Black Lives Matter has been a theme of protest on and off. In general, had this been a movement of the black people, it would have been genuine. But as expected, liberal hidden communists of the United States have penetrated into this movement and it has now turned into a "Revolution Against the Founding Father of America". Statues of George Washington, Ulysses Grant and Francis Scott Key have been vandalized and thrashed to the ground. Without the leadership of George Washington...

Privilege vs “Mindset” -what is more important for social mobility ?

For last couple of days, I kept hearing a lot on white privileges vs racism against blacks which deprived them of social mobility. Is it factually true? Yes. But issue, is, being underprivilege is not always a disadvantage and sometimes it does help in life provided mindset is right. I wanted to cite evidence that if mindset is right, with focus on education, everyone can overcome their perilous condition. Of course, there are academic papers of how privileged white students do even better in social mobility and that is true as well. But that is not the final or only truth. History has enough examples, even when people, or a group who have been underprivileged or racially discriminated did better than average because they inculcated a different mindset for excellence. I will bring couple of examples from history to prove my points. (1)     The American capitalists :   If we have to pull three top American capitalists from the history- in terms of wealth an...

Death of George Floyd - Case for racism or flawed criminal justice system?

                                    A. Murder of George Floyd is gruesome, despicable and barbarism.  But violence and vandalism following his death deserves equal condemnation.  However much bigger question to ask- if we do not want to see such murder by police again- what is the path forward?  At end, we want end of brutality and excessive force used by police.    Is pressing the case of Racism right way forward ? Or we need reform in police force?    I am not at all convinced this case can qualify as racism. FBI is investigating and eventually we will know the truth. But no one can deny, the killer officer Derek Chauvin has used abusive and objectionable force in the past at least sixteen times, And in neither of the cases he was disciplined after investigation ? Why? Shouldn't that be the most fundamental question to answer if we really want to stop...
