Project Veritas strikes again! Here’s Benjamin Barber, described as a “major Democratic donor,” trashing African American voters. See, when black voters exercise agency and vote for Republicans, they’re just like Jews who collaborated with the Nazis.
Seriously. Here’s the quote:
“Have you heard of the Sonderkommandos? Jewish guards who helped murder Jews in the camps. So there were even Jews that were helping the Nazis murder Jews! So blacks who are helping the other side are seriously fucked in the head. They’re only helping the enemy who will destroy them. Maybe they think ‘if I help them we’ll get along okay; somehow I’ll save my race by working with the murderers,’” said Barber at a fundraiser for Ross on the Upper West Side of New York City on September 19, 2016.
This is the soft bigotry of low expectations outlined by George W. Bush that outlines the progressive project. The notion that black voters can’t succeed, either individually or as a group, unless they embrace a set of liberal policy prescriptions that has left them in failing schools and cultural decay. It’s racism dressed up as a helping hand.
