The far left is still out of touch with black voters.

[Number23]

69. The far left and the far right are cut from the same cloth. They both hate any improvements to

any group of which they are not members. They perceive that they have lost too many privileges in the effort to improve the lives of many others, many of whom so happen to have melanin. White conservatives love to scream about welfare and affirmative action for exactly the same reason that white "lefties" love to scream about globalization.

Too many on both sides want us all to go back to the time when white men could have a fifth grade education but still have a home, a car and food on the table every night, most likely because people far smarter and more qualified than them were automatically shut out of opportunities just for being the wrong color or gender or at the expense of people who had the misfortune of being born not only the wrong color, but in the wrong country.
