Liberal Policies Harm Black Americans

[From article]
Good intentions aside, which efforts have facilitated black advancement, and which efforts have impeded it?
Many liberals today don’t seem particularly interested in asking this question, even though 50 years into the war on poverty the picture isn’t pretty.
[. . .]
Obama was doing exactly what liberals have been conditioning blacks to do since the 1960s, which is to blame black pathology on the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws. And the president is conditioning the next generation of blacks to do the same.
[. . .]
Meanwhile, the civil-rights movement of King has become an industry that does little more than monetize white guilt.
[. . .]
Liberalism has also succeeded, tragically, in convincing blacks to see themselves first and foremost as victims.
[. . .]
And black liberals are all too happy to hustle guilty whites. The result, manifest in everything from black studies programs to black media to black politics, is an obsession with racial slights real or imagined.
