Great evaluation of the left. However, being victims of our
liberal school system, it's unfortunate moonbats are unable
to think, reason or comprehend anything beyond "It's Bushes
fault". Otherwise, this piece might be a useful tool for national
healing.

Wonderful post.

[...You see, to the arrogant left, they are always "enlightened,"
even if it means dying of a drug overdose, or promoting promiscuity,
or celebrating the disintegration of the family, or appeasing evil,
or promoting a degenerate soundtrack to cultural genocide...]

How do we explain the devolution from Duke Ellington to Snoop Dogg, or John Coltrane to Ludacris, or Dinah Washington to Michael Jackson?

OK, first off this is a guy who obviously never listened to Michael Jackson before he turned white and went totally crazy. Thriller and Bad were two of the best pop albums ever made, and I'd rank "Smooth Criminal" as one of the top 5 pop songs ever written.

I get it that the author isn't a Hip Hop fan, but has he even listened to some of the classical music that RZA has written? Or heard the echo of Nikki Giovanni and Langston Hughes in the albums of Public Enemy?

For example, we all know that our educational system is a mess, the reason being that the left has had complete control of it for some 50 years, to such an extent that neither political party can avoid using leftist assumptions to tackle the problem.

This is the most brilliant insight I've heard in awhile. The author is exactly right.

I encountered the piece on Negrophobia and Cultural Genocide of the Left
today.

I just want to go on record to express my shock and dismay that this article would be so well received. The author has a few really good points; one of which is that some black leaders promote a worldview of victimhood, which ultimately disempowers those who see themselves in that light.

But his characterization of those who are Liberal or Progressive in their thinking or voting as if they were some unified monolithic entity that
is unthinking and deluded it wrong and dangerous. It causes us to
not consider individual opinion, and that flies in the face of democracy.

Unless you are hoping for a fascist state in which no dissent is allowed,
you need to start listening to views that are not immediately appealing and support others’ right to do so.

P.S. I just, also by coincidence happened this week to come across some articles by Deroy Murdock, and his writing and opinions are in no way balanced nor do they reflect a depth of intelligence. If you were to place him in a category, as you have done, he would go in the “bad” category, for the deceptive nature of his arguments. I hope there is someone who reads this for whom it will make a difference.
