Dennis Prager unleashes a corker on the Dems – even as they look down their noses with their faux protectionalism towards blacks:
…It is, however, effective. Calling Republicans racist has worked for half a century and will not be abandoned until it is universally recognized as the libel that it is.
What we have in both instances — the poor grammar that too many blacks use and the argument that demanding a photo ID is too hard on blacks — is not Republican racism. What we have are two more examples of the destructive consequences of leftist policies on black America.
It is difficult to overstate the negative impact making lesser demands on individuals, especially members of select groups, has on them. The message is as clear as day: We expect less of you. Why? Because we think less of you.
Do most of those on the left really think less of black Americans?
Given the lack of demands, given the rationalization for poor speech (before the left took over education, both blacks and whites spoke and wrote far better), given the advocacy of lowering standards for blacks from everything from civil service tests to college admissions and given other examples, it is hard not to conclude that many on the Left really do think black Americans are not equally capable of excellence (outside of sports and entertainment). It is what George W. Bush called "the soft bigotry of low expectations."
If this is not the case, there are two other explanations.
And he goes on to explain. We Groksters had a "Grok meeting" at The Draft this past Saturday to discuss the near to mid term future plans for GraniteGrok. At one point, in talking about adding new writers, I think I summarized how this gaggle of Conservatives felt: I could care less what your skin color is. You could be green with blue polka-dots, and I could care less. What I care about is how you write and how you advocate for the issues in your writings. Male, female – same thing. I’ve never understood the importance that the Left (and lately, the Right) attaches to identity politics, as it is of more importance of one’s beliefs and stances than how they look.
If you write well, I’d consider you. You could be gorgeous and everything that goes with it, but if you can’t string two paragraphs together or speak coherently for three minutes, faggedaboutit.
