They fear folks like you who can think for themselves and they try to destroy the incentive in others via any method that causes racial tensions. They find those who embrace personal responsibility anathema to their cause.
The American Dream is possible for anyone who embraces the work ethic and values system that made this country the envy of the world. The white leftists can’t exist in a world where “colored” people are individuals who can succeed without their assistance. They want people who have the mindset of the Black Democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus and look to big government for their existence. People like Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain and Ben Carson had to be attacked because they dared to drift away from the Democratic plantation. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been called a sellout, a traitor and other assorted names when I renounced being a Democrat. That party is so patronizing and demeaning to anyone who isn’t white, and sadly many of my fellow Americans of color refuse to acknowledge it.
