OK, no takers on the “Old Men” challenge.
Kudos to Dennis Prager for once again writing a cogent, incisive piece about the phoniness of white liberals in “Bob Kerrey clarifies the liberal view of blacks and women.”
“[M]any liberals and most Democratic leaders do not take blacks and women as seriously as they take whites and men. Blacks and women are regarded more as symbols — of American and male oppression — than as real people. Also, whereas a white liberal regards a white male as an individual, the white liberal is more likely to regard blacks and women as groups rather than as individuals. And, of course, they are seen as indispensable votes.
In their hearts, many Americans on the left do regard blacks as somewhat inferior, meaning, in other words, that they harbor racist views. That is the only explanation for the nearly universal leftist belief that all whites are racist, a libel that your child has probably been taught at college in some diversity or racial sensitivity seminar…
It is probable that belief in black inferiority, or at least in black differentness, also helps to explain white liberal support for the lowering of standards for blacks, i.e., affirmative action and quotas. Conservatives believe that no changing of standards is necessary in order for blacks to succeed.
I’m tired of dealing with liberals. I’m seriously thinking of moving to an area teeming with conservatives. Such a place exists doesn’t it?
