The verdict on LBJ's Great Society was in generations before he launched it. Political subsidization of failure has always meant more failure, never success. The real tragedy of Negro America--and the real beef that they have with White politicians--is that under the wise leadership of men like Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, they were beginning to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Then came the White Leftists, who founded the NAACP, and who began in time to promote the subsidies for failure, and the family destroying ADC, in the 1930s, followed by the "Civil Rights" movement and legislation from the 1940s. It was this steady diet of corrupting influence, that broke the back of the forward progress. While many individuals have succeeded, over half of the race today are far worse off, from the standpoint of social infrastructure essential to real progress, than they were a century ago.

It is both sad and outrageous. But when you mention Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams, you are discussing men who have contributed far more to American Caucasions--who respect them tremendously--than to American Negroes; not because they wanted to slight their own race, not in the least. But because most of their race was being regimented into moronic self-destruction by a systematic, and thorough, Leftwing brainwashing.

"...most of their race was being regimented into moronic self-destruction by a systematic, and thorough, Leftwing brainwashing."

As is always the case with cynical opportunists and what Marx called, his "useful idiots". (See #19)

If useful idiots (or Barnum's "suckers") recognized themselves, they would no longer be "useful".

There's no danger of that happening because even though their *true friends* (whom they never recognize until it's too late), try so hard to warn them about how and why they're being used, they always refuse to believe it.
