Michael Gerson, George W. Bush’s speech writer, translated Dr. Sowell’s thought into the famous “soft bigotry of low expectations” line in his 2000 speech at the NAACP. Although it clearly identified a far more insidious type of bias it was dangerously threatening to the ever growing race hustling industry business model that depends on the exploitation of that liberal-built bias.
And thus, step by step, we’ve descended into the world of liberal idiocracy exemplified, splendiferously, by the likes of the Squad and Rashida Tlaib in particular.
Despite all the other contenders it would be hard to identify a more “mind-mind-numbingly stupid bit of incitement from a sitting congresswoman.” So, no more policing or incarceration? Really? I suppose you want our guns as well? Sure why not, now that there are no more police that should put an end to crime.
Am I to assume you wish to disband the Capital police as well, you know the cops who protect your precious hides from “insurrectionists”? No? I thought not.
But as long as it’s “inherently and intentionally racist” it must be eliminated.
It’s just hard to believe how many people are out there who still buy the increasingly absurd hysteria of these lunatics. But I guess they’re too invested to back out now.
People who refuse to accept unpleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them. What other kind of candidates would such people elect? – Thomas Sowell
I have no doubt that Rashida, who handily won her first two elections to the House of Representatives, will likewise post a resounding win in her next contest. All she need do is keep slapping a little catsup on that Somabitch.
But sure, the real problem we have here is racist cops.

Thanks for posting. While I have long remembered George Bush uttering the line ‘soft bigotry of low expectations’, I was not aware the thought came from Thomas Sowell.
However, Wikiquotes for DPM does contain this:
From the wild Irish slums of the 19th century Eastern seaboard, to the riot-torn suburbs of Los Angeles, there is one unmistakable lesson in American history; a community that allows a large number of men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future — that community asks for and gets chaos.Crime, violence, unrest, disorder — most particularly the furious, unrestrained lashing out at the whole social structure — that is not only to be expected; it is very near to inevitable. And it is richly deserved.
— Daniel Patrick Moynihan, The Negro Family: The Case for National Action (1965)
