Adding to the jeremiads from the phalanx of skin-color pimps and harlots is Latonia Westerfield. I happened upon an article by Westerfield titled: Why Black People Dont Need Jason L. Rileys Help. (March 25, 2015)
Westerfield, as is typical with her kind, had her Hanes, Jockeys, Victorias Secret or whatever brand of unmentionables she wears in a Gordian knot because in her mind conservative Jason Riley had dared impugn the citadel of skin-color identity politics. The citadel Jason had besmirched was the cathedral of if youre black, youre a victim.
Rileys book, titled Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed, was the cause for Westerfields apoplectic rebuttal.
Westerfield wrote: [Rileys] words are indicative of why in 2015, race and racism are still cause for black people to fill the streets in protest with their hands raised in the air, demanding that their lives be seen as valuable. This is because Rileys book doesnt say anything new, in terms of understanding and dealing with issues in black communities, but rather presents the same old argument that dates back to slave auctions black culture and, by extension, blackness is inherently defective, if the rise of other groups is any indication, black social and economic problems are less about politics than they are about culture.'
