Guess there is always hope, but the vast majority of elected black politicians are leftist losers easily controlled by communists.

Black leaders before 1963 were the Uncle Toms... they were strong, moral, and dedicated to keeping their communities safe and progressing. Rosa Parks and MLK came of age during that time.

The big switch happened in the 60’s when LBJ took over and black natural leaders were dumped in favor of poverty pimps who were useful tools of white liberal elites.

First I have heard of Jason Riley. He strikes me as an honest intellectual.

Thanks. Great video to share, even on FB, even if just to irritate “Liberal” friends.

Booker T. Washington had the opposite type figured out around 1900: “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.”

I’m guessing - if ideas could be tracked back - that the existence of the Tuskegee Airmen - - 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group was strongly influenced by the honor and life view of Booker T. Washington

I've seen Jason Riley many times (on Fox of course). Last weekend he was one of the panelists on The Journal Editorial Report moderated by Paul Gigot.

I’ve wanted Sowell in the White House for decades, but he didn’t see fit to run.
