"Back on Uncle Sam's Plantation"

Below is a link to an article written by a conservative black woman named Star Parker. She is so correct in what she writes in this article that I think everyone should read and learn from it. I might even have to put her book on my wish list.

A quote:

The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families. ...

I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth producing American capitalism.
I had a professor in college who insisted that America was an inherently racist country and that blacks were kept in poverty in the inner city ghettos because of it. I used to vehemently and angrily deny it, because I have had no part in such evil schemes. I now understand that it is true, but only because Progressive Liberal Socialist Democrats (like my professor) made and keep it that way. I was so offended at the notion because it is so foreign to my way of thinking.

America IS the land of opportunity. Socialism works when people don't. (But only temporarily.) Capitalism works as well as you do.

Here's the article: Back on Uncle Sam's Plantation.

Enjoy!

I love Townhall.com but I've never really read Star Parker's columns, maybe I should.

I don't know about you but I SO needed General Conference this weekend.
