Ain't that the truth.
I've often explained that very thing to young blacks today, but I'm describing a world they simply can't imagine. They've been indoctrinated to believe that institutionalized racism is alive and well, and that they're being subjected to constant acts of discrimination.
Nothing could be further from the truth, but try breaking through these kids' brainwashing. It's very hard to do - even for someone like me, who lived through the real thing.
I'd like to think that Larry has reached some of these mentally enslaved people over the course of his career. He's been standing outside the plantation fence, calling to them for decades.
I am 100% sure he has. I am sure he gets private emails over the past 20+ years from people who changed after he inspired them. He taught me a lot too.
Like about how two faced Hollywood is. He used to do shows where for hours he would only take calls from conservatives working in the entertainment industry. All on the DL. All to a person said if they expressed their opinion they would either lose their job or never be hired again. Some said that wearing a t shirt or having a lib bumper sticker has helped them gets jobs.
Contrast that with their holy reverence for the Soviet era reds in Hollywood having been blacklisted because their writings and ideas were anti-freedom. They are too stupid to see their caricature level hypocrisy.
Love the Sage.
