Pat Buchanan On Those Lucky Black Folks

In a recent post on his blog entitled "A Brief for Whitey," Pat Buchanan, regular contributor to MSNBC's filling-air-time chatterfests, recently shared with the world his view that "America has been the best country on earth for black folks." How so? Buchanan: "It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known."
Wait, there's more: white Americans have spent "untold trillions" on "welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream."
He's not done: "Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America" or that "illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?"
For those who hold (but won't openly express) the repugnant belief that ungrateful and inferior Negroes just don't know how lucky they are, good old Pat has your back.
