Is this another case of “race trumps all?” Just like Colin Powell.
Senility is a bad thing.
“Is this another case of “race trumps all?””
I think this is multi-factorial, and has a lot to do with, IMHO, a flawed concept of social justice and how to help promote it. I was thinking today for the first time that it is ironic that blacks have been hurt immensely by a sociopolitical philosophy - socialism/Marxism - that was promoted by a white European guy from a wealthy family (Marx), who didn’t work, and was funded by another wealthy white guy (Engels).
You don’t help people by destroying motivation, and every policy that the left pushes destroys motivation for all but those who spend their lives as political parasites on society. Maybe that’s harsh, but the evidence has stacked up over many years, many lifetimes, and many lost lives.
They create dependency, thus destroying motivation. They confiscate wealth and punish success - thus destroying motivation.
It never ends well. The way to social justice is through voluntary servitude, charity, and the assurance by law that all people are free and have the right and opportunities to better themselves and define what they want to be. Not through punitive legislation and the exploitation of social and financial inequities.
No, it’s a case of no Bushes having ever been actual conservatives.
