Liberals have only helped blacks fail

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 Don’t Need Jason L. Riley’s Help.” (March 25, 2015)

Westerfield, as is typical with her kind, had her Hanes, Jockey’s, Victoria’s 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 you’re black, you’re a victim.”

Riley’s book, titled “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed,” was the cause for Westerfield’s apoplectic rebuttal.

Westerfield wrote: “[Riley’s] 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 Riley’s book doesn’t 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.'”

Radicals are the children of upper class - parents who over-indulged their mildly inferior offspring. . Rebelling against Daddy’s wealth is part of this...

I knew a young man many years ago who was a ‘community organizer’ ( basically a street level communist position) and he wanted to know why it was so easy to recruit college students but impossible to recruit real ‘workers’...

I don’t remember what I told him but I remember what I was thinking... which was along the lines of ‘so young, so clueless’...

Yes, Bin Laden comes to mind as well. A millionaire with a billionaire sperm bank for a “father”, but the leftist meme is that people become radicalized because of poverty.

The majority oi Saul Alinsky’s radicals were upper class intellectuals from the University of Chicago... and the Hyde Park area...( and yeah I know he was located on Stony Island across the street and a few store fronts down from where Obama’s Library is going in...)
