Why Does Biden Want To Be LBJ? 🤔😬
Because it's not Biden, it's Biden's handlers. They think they are so smart, but are actually idiots.

The Privilege Race
I do not know the set up for this video, but let's assume for argument sake it was a fair cross section of people. Some of those questions posed are profound (mother and father together, father figure in family, access to good schools) some trivial (such as paying for a cell phone)--but the real profound question raised is video is why the discrepancy between these kids? I can think of one big factor that has played a role: The policy incentives of Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty have in reality been a war on families. It has been a social experiment going on for fifty years and the outcome has been a catastrophe for the people it was meant to help.
It is not a "white" thing. What about Asian privilege? What about West Indie privilege? I would suggest that the factor for success in those groups is having strong families. Reciprocally, white culture, where the family structure breaks down, results (for the most part) in very bad outcomes.
Economics of course play a role. A bad economy puts strains on families and can contribute to disintegration. But strong families are better at riding downturns and dysfunctional families will often continue to fail even when things are going well.
Families succeed when they rely on each other to raise self reliant strong children. A child who had parents who stuck together and raised him or her should not feel guilty for that, but thankful. If you were blessed with a strong family that supported you, by all means share that success with others less fortunate. But rather than attempting to make the children of successful families feel guilty for doing well, maybe we should be all addressing the social issues that make this disparity happen to different groups. Hint: It is not racism, at least not as racism is currently defined by leftists and the media.

Zbigniew Brzezinski RIP
I did not care for much of Brzezinski's national security advice during the Carter years (although Camp David was more good than bad), and he was a senior advisor to Barack Obama (which on foreign policy was almost all bad). He was a good father according to his children.

As Twitchy notes: Memorial Day is not about Obama eating ice cream. Democrats then doubled down with vintage photos of LBJ loading his plate (weren't there a bunch of young guys doing something else in 1967).

Race in America and Ferguson: Nicholas Kristof does not get it
Could it be that the Democrats' Great Society and War on Poverty Programs were (and remain) a disaster (for both the poor and tax payers) that made economic disparity worse, not better? Why are black Americans voting 90% for a party that is intent on keeping them dependent and in poverty?
Why aren't Democrats (supported by people like Nicholas Kristof) being held accountable for these failed policies?
Instapundit: The new class conflict is not just racial.
Update:
Congressional Black Caucus votes for more police militarization?
Deep racial divides continue
Game changer?
