African-American Conservatives The problem with all these liberal good works is that they associate Blackness with permanent inferiority. They don’t really believe in the fundamental human equality of the people they claim to help. They want to be valued for their good intentions, never for their effectiveness in uplift. I grew to hate these programs and policies because they not only believed in my inferiority more than my capacity for excellence, but they also encouraged me to use Black weakness — the inferiority imposed by four centuries of brutal oppression — as leverage and entitlement in the larger society.
