Liberal elites give blacks passes because liberal elites see blacks as inferior. Yes, that's how liberal elites feel. Check out the latest O'Keefe video if you have doubts. A dem operative in the video is totally dismissing all blacks.

The liberal elite attitude is way beyond 'low expectations' - liberals have NO expectations for blacks.

Conservatives see blacks in terms of equals and we're willing to take them on when they're acting stupid. Our anger with blacks - anger when they let liberal elites play them for fools - is a dignity we extend to them. We extend that dignity because we don't like it when liberal elites play us for fools either...

I think you are accurate. Conservatives get angry with many blacks because we think they have bought in to a sense of low expectations and demeaning social vulgarity (rap, profanity, insolent clothing styles, etc.). Liberals defend blacks because they want to appear to be their friends and benefactors, giving them handouts, making excuses for failure, and so forth.

To me, the classic example of these two contrasting attitudes was the controversy over midnight basketball a few years ago. Conservatives thought it was lunacy to have young black males out playing basketball late at night when they should have been home in bed getting some needed sleep. Libs defended it, apparently believing that the only options for these young black males were basketball or a life of crime.

What white liberal would want THEIR kid playing midnight basketball? None.
