Host jason riley, author, columnist, contributed to the wall street journal and manhattan institute, a foxs contributor and among your books please stop helping us. You say the following,g liberalism has also succeeded tragically in convincing blacks to see themselves first and foremost as victims. Guest yes. I believe that is a big part of political strategy.
