Obama The Racist And Government (In)Ability

Heather MacDonald in the Wall Street Journal:
Some in Mr. Wright’s crew of charlatans have already had their moments in the spotlight; others are less well known. They form part of the tragic academic project of justifying self-defeating underclass behavior as “authentically black.”
Obama is coming out hard against the man he previously dismissed with “Oh, [...]

On government responsibility and prerogative and power:
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
