Collective guilt only dilutes responsibility and ensures that pathological behavior continues. Let me suggest some specific groups of people who are responsible:
- The education establishment. Their purpose from day one has been, not education, but the production of pliable citizen-serfs. Read John Taylor Gatto's _The Underground History of American Education_ for details. (Gatto taught in the New York school system for decades, and received New York City and New York State teacher of the year awards.)
- The welfare-state bureaucrats who labored so long and hard to erase the stigma associated with living on the dole. As long as it made their own jobs secure and expanded their own little empires, why should they care that their system was eroding the morals, independence, and self-respect of one generation after another?
- The victimology pushers and race baiters. These people have worked hard to focus minorities on the actions of other people (which they can't control) and away from their own actions (which they *can* control). They have created a culture where education, deferred gratification, all the traditional means of raising oneself up out of poverty, are reviled and disdained as the white man's way.
