"If LeBron James or his ilk were to come out and say, “Put your nose to the grindstone, work hard, and you can get ahead in this country,” of course he would be banned, canceled, and reviled. If Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, in the luxury of their retirement at the top of American political hierarchy, were to start making speeches like Glenn Loury and John McWhorter are inclined to make, I believe that that would actually have a difference."

This is absolutely true and I would like to add that the same goes for the progressive oligarchy that loves to publicly perform their antiracism: the best thing they could do for the black people they claim to care about would be to preach what they practice.

Upscale white liberals campaign to have school standards lowered and then go home and make sure their kids are hitting the books, doing all their homework, not to mention extra-curriculars; they angrily denounce all the common-sense wisdom their own cohort lives by—stay in school, stay out of trouble, get a job then get married before having kids—as victim blaming or some type of bigotry.

Antiracism is White Saviorism dressed up in trendy academic jargon and it is designed to meet the social, political, emotional and psychological needs of white liberals (and the black writers and activists who get paid off them), but helping actual black children succeed is a secondary goal at best.

Since it is documented that children of African immigrants do well in school etc how can people think that differences are do to race? That makes no sense. It’s a values cultural thing.
