The Real Racists

The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 1965

What the welfare system and other kinds of governmental programs are doing is paying people to fail. Insofar as they fail, they receive the money; insofar as they succeed, even to a moderate extent, the money is taken away.
Thomas Sowell, 1980

Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States is “a nation of cowards” when it comes to race relations. In one sense, he is absolutely right. Many whites, from university administrators and professors, schoolteachers to employers and public officials accept behavior from black people that they wouldn’t begin to accept from whites.
Walter E. Williams, 2009

[American Blacks] and other groups, here and abroad, are treated as mascots of the self-congratulatory elites….The actual fate of the mascots themselves seldom matters much to their supposed benefactors. So long as the elites have control of the public purse, they can subsidize self-destructive behavior on the part of the mascots. And so long as the elites can send their own children to private schools, they needn’t worry about what happens to the children of the mascots in the public schools.
Thomas Sowell, 2011

The louder the Left screams that conservatives are racist without any basis in fact, the more obvious it becomes who the real racists are.
