That thought may have crossed LBJ's mind a few times, but you'll never convince me liberals want blacks to be disadvantaged foreverI don't see many Conservatives, on this site, viewing black people as grown ups who are able to take care of themselves, and make their own decisions. That's really just another way of saying "screw affirmative action, they're on their own".Liberals see black people as their children that need to be cared for by their loving and caring parents, the liberal.Alright PC, help me understand.....1. Can black folks be as successful as whites?
Conservatives believe so.....Liberals don't.
That's why they make special rules based on skin color, and refuse to hold black folk to the same requirements as anyone else.
In their heart of hearts, Liberals just don't think blacks can make it, that they are not on a par with whites.
2. Here's a conservative who explains the difficulties blacks have in society:
"It was the misfortune of black Americans that they were just on the verge of passing through the immigrant experience when damaging ideas about welfare and the lenient attitude about crime took hold. It could have happened to the Italians, Germans, Jews or Irish, but luckily for them, there were no Liberals around to “help” when they arrived."
Coulter, "Mugged," chapter seven
3. "Every now and then you come across an article that folks just need to read. This one written by Michael Smith entitled, “Confessions of a Public Defender”....is one of those articles.
It is a profound and deeply disturbing piece, which, as we end 2014, we all need to comprehend as we move towards the 50th anniversary of the Great Society initiatives of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Smith articulates that which ails the black community–the real discussion we should be having on race, not that of victimhood and the further expansion of the welfare nanny-state..... I’m quite sure the progressive socialist left will criticize me for sharing this article–that’s just who they are–they hate the truth. But if there is a war to be fought, it is for the soul of the inner city and the black community."

Quite Possibly the Most Racist Article You Will Ever Read American Renaissance
The following article is tough to read. Buckle your seat belts....and keep you hands inside the ride at all times.
4. " I am a public defender in a large southern metropolitan area. Fewer than ten percent of the people in the area I serve are black but over 90 per cent of my clients are black.... but there are a few whites.
[I'm still] liberal after all these years.
5. ... crime has racial patterns. Hispanics usually commit two kinds of crime: sexual assault on children and driving under the influence. Blacks commit many violent crimes but very few sex crimes. The handful of whites I see commit all kinds of crimes. In my many years as a public defender I have represented only three Asians, and one was half black.
6. As a young lawyer, I believed the official story that blacks are law abiding, intelligent, family-oriented people, but are so poor they must turn to crime to survive. Actual black behavior was a shock to me.
7. The media invariably sugarcoat black behavior. Even the news reports of the very crimes I dealt with in court were slanted. Television news intentionally leaves out unflattering facts about the accused, and sometimes omits names that are obviously black. All this rocked my liberal, tolerant beliefs, but it took me years to set aside my illusions and accept the reality of what I see every day.
[But- I'm still] liberal after all these years."
Confessions of a Public Defender American Renaissance
I am a liberal, or really a left leaning moderate, but I do not think blacks are inferior.
I don't know anyone else, who is a liberal, who would even begin to think blacks are "inferior"
Based on how far left my liberal freinds are...they range from total and mindless support for color blindness, to believeing that any disadvantages blacks have, as a cultural group, are the fault of white people, and need to be corrected by affirmative action.
The liberals on this site constantly argue against conclusions reached by conservative posters, that involve statistics and arguments created by conservative posters, that suggest blacks are violent, entitled, and without ambition.
The idea that liberals are asserting racist behavior that is damaging to blacks, is kind of like hearing Tony Perkins say something like the people of San Francisco hate gays more than any other city in the country.
I just don't know where to begin unwinding how backwards the notion is you're putting forth.
Conservatives see black people as grown ups who are able to take care of themselves and make their own decisions.
That's pretty much it.
You can't have it both ways....
The statistics are clear...blacks have higher illiteracy and incarceration, and lower affluence statistics, per capita.
Either affirmative action has not been given long enough...or one must think blacks are inferior, and AA will never work.
I don't know any liberals that see black people as their children, that need to be cared for by their loving and caring parents. That is condescending and I don't know any liberals that would even consider that. What you're talking about is sipmly support for the narrative "screw affirmative action, blacks are on thier own"
This attitude has roots in the old confederacy. Slave holders who had relationships with their slaves, felt rejected when they were free. They thought "after all I've done for you!"........
Now...conservatives look on affirmative action the same way..."after all those advantages we gave you, you're still not as good as us"
That's very childish.
The statistics are clear...blacks have higher illiteracy and incarceration, and lower affluence statistics, per capita.
Either affirmative action has not been given long enough...or one must think blacks are inferior, and AA will never work.
Affirmative action will never work.....the reason for the higher illiteracy rates...the democrats control inner city education through their teachers unions...they preserve union power at the expense of improving education for inner city kids....
And the worst of the democrats know....keeping minorities, poor, illiterate, uneducated, and angry...makes them good democrat voters....
