Happy Black Conservatives

Luke Ford writes: Dennis Prager said after interviewing black Republican candidate for Congress, Tim Scott: “When you meet conservative blacks… And I’ll compare activist to activist. The humor, the happiness, the freedom. When a black rethinks things, and this is true for anybody, but blacks in particular, when one realizes one can be the master of my life, which is what conservatism is all about, as opposed to I will wait for the government to save me, how can you not be happier as a conservative? Polls show conservatives are happier. We don’t want others to take care of us [if possible].”

“People want to be saved by government in France who are perfectly healthy and young. You are made worse by left-wing ideas.”

“You are not free at last when you depend on the government to hire you and to take care of you and to give you benefits.

“That’s why there’s a dour disposition whenever you talk to any of these black liberal politicians. Their whole personality is different.”

“Put Maxine Waters on one side and Tim Scott on the other. The woman radiates anger at America. She makes her constituents more bitter.”
