Why is it that so many efforts by liberals to lift the black underclass not only fail, but often harm the intended beneficiaries?
In Please Stop Helping Us, Jason L. Riley examines how well-intentioned welfare programs are in fact holding black Americans back. Minimum-wage laws may lift earnings for people who are already employed, but they price a disproportionate number of blacks out of the labor force. Affirmative action in higher education is intended to address past discrimination, but the result is fewer black college graduates than would otherwise exist. And so it goes with everything from soft-on-crime laws, which make black neighborhoods more dangerous, to policies that limit school choice out of a mistaken belief that charter schools and voucher programs harm the traditional public schools that most low-income students attend.
In theory these efforts are intended to help the poor—and poor minorities in particular. In practice they become massive barriers to moving forward.
Please Stop Helping Us lays bare these counterproductive results. People of goodwill want to see more black socioeconomic advancement, but in too many instances the current methods and approaches aren’t working. Acknowledging this is an important first step.

True Liberals are 100% great allies to black folks living under the American cast based apartheid system. By true liberal I mean any person that is not two faced like Bill maher, whose job is to slowly dismiss good liberal humanitarian ideas. Jason L. Riley most likely the masters oreo, whose job is to dismiss the inequities of this society.

“True Liberals are 100% great allies to black folks living under the American cast based apartheid system. By true liberal I mean any person that is not two faced like Bill maher,”
Notice how Bill Maher and people of his ilk, never give up position or power? They maintain it while white people are under constant attack for our privilege (We haven’t been at the top of the food change for a few decades in the US) Look who makes up a steady 20-25% of ivy league college admissions.

The book title is paraphrasing Fredrick Douglass in essence saying some people are better off doing nothing for blacks than to help them. Akin to teaching a person to fish rather than handing them a cooked fish.
Thanks for the upload

Excellent. Thank you Sir! I am a big fan of Mr. Riley’s columns in the WSJ.

We are a people, we have black fishermen, physicist, programmers…
To win this war against the American cast based apartheid system we need none black allies. True Liberals are the best kind of ally because by their nature they are not Xenophobia and insular. True Liberals are unboundedly curious thus open to other humanity apart from their own clinal genetic clans.

From wiktionary.org:
Noun
Racism of low expectations (uncountable)
A form of racial discrimination where certain racial groups are offered benefits and assistance because of an implicit belief that they are less able to cope in society without them.
2010, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nomad: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations:
The West tends to respond to the social failures of Muslim immigrants with what can be called the racism of low expectations. This Western attitude is based on the idea that people of color must be exempted from “normal” standards of behavior.
2014, Nicola Rollock, David Gillborn, Carol Vincent, The Colour of Class
The presence of just one positive, supportive teacher who pays attention, has high expectations and nurtures a child can have a remarkable impact, even amid the routine racism of low expectations and heightened surveillance faced by Black children in contemporary schools and society.
2014, Lauren Joichin Nile, RACE: My Story & Humanity’s Bottom Line (page 102)
The pain and suffering that racism, including the unconscious and thus insidious racism of low expectations has historically caused and continues to cause, in the lives of Americans of Color […]

@itasha
Just take your feet off our necks and be amazed. Remember when basket ball had the American cast based apartheid system.
Remove your self as gate keepers unfairly distributing aid to your own clinal phenotype.
.Home loans
.Business loans
.good education
.policing
.criminalization
Look at two great none sports result when we are allowed to thieve like any other people:
.DEAN Co-Inventor of IBM PC motherboard
.Creola Katherine Johnson built out the best equations for the moon landing trajectory.
take your feet off our necks by allowing our achievements to be taught in mainstream schools.

To paraphrase Jason L. Riley, Please Stop Helping Me.
I don’t need your help.
July 22nd, 2020
@Itasha, that was cute! :-)
July 22nd, 2020
@booklovers89, alright, I’ll bite. Who has their foot on your neck? How has American life kept you down?
July 22nd, 2020
your elk Pay Oreo’s like Jason L. Riley to echo your disingenuous help your self ideas. While rigging the system.
Being obtuse is a null condition.

“Oreo.”
Are you a racist BookLover..?
July 23rd, 2020
@booklovers89, I generally don’t criticize spelling or grammar in people’s posts as I often make mistakes too, but I think that the word you are looking of is ilk, not elk. And in your previous post, it should have been non-black and non-sport, not “none black” and “none sport”. And who knows what you meant by “clinal phenotype”, but I’m not sure how you think it relates to degrees of inclination.
My questions were directed toward you personally, not toward black people in general. What/who is stopping YOU from succeeding or achieving YOUR personal goals? Why do you believe society in general should help you to achieve them or give them to you?
July 23rd, 2020
Rich conservative blacks like the author say “Please Stop Helping Us”, meaning “Please stop helping THEM”, the poor blacks, same as the white bigots.
They want to pull the ladder up after them, are just as happy to exploit the underclass, want lower taxes and to hell with anyone who needs help.
1%ers are assholes, whatever colour their skin.

Pretty bigoted statement, Gweilo. Why is it that white liberals dislike educated black people so much? Do they make you feel less superior? He’s doing more to lift black people up with his writing than all the do-gooders put together. Black families were much better off before all the Democrat welfare programs that tore black families asunder. I’m sick of white liberals trying to act like they know what black people need.
July 25th, 2020
@bamabrat: I don’t “dislike educated blacks”. I dislike people who feel no responsibility towards human beings who aren’t as lucky as they are. I.e., people who explicitly reject what Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, all told people: they should help their fellow man when he needs it.
But apparently you prefer to follow the gospel of Ayn Rand. Good luck with that. The 99% aren’t going anywhere. You can push them down for a while; not forever.
July 26th, 2020
I don’t own any elk, don’t know where that idea came from.
July 27th, 2020
@bamabrat, it should be interesting in 10 years or so to see how many of today’s Social Justice Warriors keep the faith. After they more out of mommy’s house and have to start paying rent/mortgages, insurance, car payments/maintenance, school loans, any the numerous other little things that eat away at a paycheck asides from Taxes, Taxes, and more Taxes.
Its easy to be a SJW when you’re not footing the bill. However, once you figure you’re paying out a very large chunk of your pay checks to support other people that don’t work as hard as you do, most of them become more jaded.
Today’s Democrats will become tomorrows Republicans.

@TotallyDisenfranchised, is the below an actual question out of ignorance or are you seriously asking someone that?
“What/who is stopping YOU from succeeding or achieving YOUR personal goals? Why do you believe society in general should help you to achieve them or give them to you?”
Do you understand how systemic racism works? That black children are set up for failure right from primary school. They are “othered” by society via educational syllabus which caters to whites and the dominant ideology, when these children grow up they are treated differently because of their color, background, social standing and just general prejudice against them solely on the basis of their skin.
Many people will argue that “I’m not racist!” “I don’t see black people as different.” “I believe in equality.” The problem with those arguments is that they’re totally fallacious when you look at the reality on the ground.
Everywhere blacks are, they were set up for failure, or at least to trail behind. In Africa, we looted them and even though it’s not called slavery because they were in their own lands, they were still treated as slaves by the colonialists. Imagine what that does to their psyche! In the US, post-slavery, they were booted into ghettoes, away from their fellow American citizens, making it clear they were the “unwanted” group. That affects people. Now, some will say, “it happened years ago.” Well, this went on until the early 70s; and general prejudice, even longer; in fact, to date.
Now, imagine the nerve of the Western world to loot Africa dry, mess with the minds of the people by lowering their status as humans in order to have mental control over them and then leaving when they realised they could no longer get away with the lies, only to tell Africa to catch up to what took us 100s of years to achieve! That’s hypocrisy! That’s madness.
What we couldn’t achieve in 100s of years, we tell a people recovering from our violence and pillaging to do in 50 years or less. How does that even make sense to anyone? It’s the same issue with African Americans. We ask them to pull themselves up by invisible straps. Can a person pull himself up from thin air? They have done remarkably well considering the trauma they went through. It will take at least 100 years for the trauma to be forgotten and that’s only when we stop deliberately hindering their chances from birth.

@mantra5, wow, you must really be in pain for feeling so much guilt for being born white!
I’m curious as to how you think that you’re going to “level the playing field” and suddenly give blacks a fair shot?
In the US, we’ve tried for 50 years with federal and state anti-discrimination laws and equality quotas, and oddly those haven’t succeeded.
Bill Clinton passed legislation changing banking regulations to make housing more available/affordable to minorities, and that only resulted in a 10 year recession.
Colleges and universities in the US have strict guidelines to follow accepting students, all of which are skewed toward favoring minorities.
For the last 20+ years, Human Resource departments in all companies with federal contracts have been preaching diversity to meet federal quotas. The same can be said for companies that have federal contracts.
So, I’ll ask again, how do you think you’re going to help black people?
Are you going to set up special programs for them?
How do you pay for those programs?
Are you going to tax white people just because of the color of their skins?
Or are you going to tax the “rich”?
Who says who is rich and who isn’t?
Are you going to pay reparations to someone who is black because they may have an ancestor who was a slave?
Why should white people who’s ancestors came to the US after the civil war be held responsible for something they didn’t do?
With all of your ideas of leveling the playing field, how do you think the people that are actually footing the bill will feel toward black people?
And on the flip side of the coin, as the US has tried numerous programs and laws, and have had minimal positive affects, what makes you think that anything you suggest will improve things?
That’s the author’s point. Your grandstanding ideals while good intentioned, don’t help, and in the end, actually hinder the “plight” of the black person.
