Please Stop Helping Us

Please Stop Helping Us - Walter E. Williams - Page 1:
"While reading the first chapter of Jason Riley's new book, "Please Stop Helping Us," I thought about Will Rogers' Prohibition-era observation that "Oklahomans vote dry as long as they can stagger to the polls." Demonstrative of similar dedication, one member of Congress told Vanderbilt University political scientist Carol Swain that "one of the advantages and disadvantages of representing blacks is their shameless loyalty. ... You can almost get away with raping babies and be forgiven. 
You don't have any vigilance about your performance." 
In my opinion, there appear to be no standards of performance low enough for blacks to lose their loyalty to their black political representatives."
