THE TOXIC WORLDVIEW OF TA-NEHISI COATES, from Rich Lowry at (astonishingly enough), the Politico:

White Americans don’t even have the highest incomes of any group in the country that they have allegedly built to serve their interests with malice aforethought. Asians do. They, of course, didn’t experience chattel slavery, or the hideous discrimination of the Jim Crow South. But they still encountered prejudice, overcome with relatively intact families and high levels of education.

Coates reminds us of the shame of the American inner city, where kids have so few social supports and live with little margin of error. His account of slavery and the ensuing discrimination against blacks is powerful and true. But his is a stunted version of America. Here’s hoping his son reads more widely.
