“I should clarify. I can’t vote for Trump. His repeated attempts to overturn and then delegitimize the 2020 election were too much for me. He’s too unpredictable, too vulgar, too much altogether.”
Trump is a conman, liar, felon and raid. Dr. Loury repeatedly criticizes Ibram Kendi as a representation of the ills of Black America. What does he think of people willing to support Trump as a Presidential candidate?
Trump sad of Liz Cheney, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” the former president said at a campaign event in Glendale with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
The Glenn Loury comments on the 'average' standard expected in society regarding personal responsibility and accountability. Then in the same conservation he comments about the lack of standards in black society. I para-phrase a few examples; "wondering about in a maze of irresponsibility and non-accountability' - ' Feeling ashamed of black behaviour' - 'understanding why non-blacks don't want to live with blacks'. Then, his comments slide into pathetic cliche's and platitudes for example; 'feeling trapped - not knowing what to do - still doing the best he can'. This is typical African short term logic. My advice is to reject the African logic and be 100% American. A short term cure would be to live in central Africa, you have a choice of black ruled countries.
Recently, Van Jones made a critical distinction between being a (self-proclaimed) "Progressive" and subscribing to "woke" ideology (racial/identity politics). In an impassioned video on X he proclaimed that the Jews who were slaughtered by Hamas were "our people. They were progressives." He added that there is nothing about Hamas that is progressive, and that those who demonstrate with Hamas flags are not progressives.
I would add that they are merely useful idiots caught up in racial identity politics (Israel = "white" = oppressors; Hamas/Hezbollah = "brown" = oppressed).
I wonder if Ta-Nehisi Coates can be a clear as Jones.

Does Glenn wish to comment?
