I know two Puerto Rican women who were raised by their grandmother in the projects in Brooklyn because their mothers were heroin addicts.

One has six kids and three either have graduated college or are attending (two are in high school or junior high) because their mom is all about them getting an education and learning how to be productive.

The other has three kids and she has chosen to live with losers rather than raise her kids properly - and the mom with six kids ended up raising hers as well, but the damage was already done to them.

Same starting point, different results.

It isn't about privilege in this country - ANYONE can better themselves. But these nitwits expect it to be handed to them.

Yet leftists continue to be hostile toward social mobility. Anyone who is considered to be a member of a perceived “victim class” who works to improve himself/herself is labeled a class traitor. Thus the woman who pushed her children through college is a “coconut”. Brown on the outside but white on the inside. Which means that she refuses to accept the power of the Left, which then makes her a problem.

Think about this: what would this country be like if there hadn’t been white Europeans? Would there even be an America? How would all the lazy people here get fed without this country?

What if Atlas shrugs?
