uncreated conscience of your face, and boy, that s 50, 60 years ago, that s on the money. that s in his great book invisible man. mark: do you think part of the problem is the daily recitation of group think, group rights? you get it a lot in our universities and colleges. you see it on television a lot. politicians. balkanizing the nation in order to empower themselves and their party and so forth. isn t that part of the problem? what i think you re point to is definitely maybe the overriding problem, which is, and we don t talk about it very much at all, is white guilt. and that keeps feeding whatever blacks are doing is not helping them, thinking of themselves as nothing more than members of a
you should let me change this aspect of the university system, that s why you should let me do any number of other things, not because i have better ideas that i m a better problem solver, but because i offer this identity of innocence, which is now the, i think, big political problem. we have not identified up to this point, but it is that susceptibility, that vulnerability in the political arena, people are going to play on it, they re going to exploit it. i can and i ve seen this, spent my adult life in universities and you see reasonable, civilized, decent people just fold up when the charge of racism is even hinted at, and they begin to sell out the quality of the university. one thing they invariably always absolutely do is lower
authority to deal with whatever issue or problem we re dealing with because you re a racist and so therefore you are morally compromised and your moral authority. you don t have any moral authority. and this is the seduction that people on the left have fallen for. they then are given, as a reward, the idea of their innocence. mark: i want to pursue this further when we return because i think this is very, very important. ladies and gentlemen, you can watch me on levin tv on our crtv.com network almost every week night if you d like to join us there. give us a call at 844-levin tv. 844-levin tv. we d love to have you. hi there. this is a commercial about insurance. now i know you re thinking, i don t want to hear about insurance. cause let s be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i m highly likable.
that s why we re special. that s why we re so sophisticated is because we are going to we re fighting against that ignorance and that backwardness, and so if immigrants come to america and say good to be here, we re going to now become americans, that doesn t make the left happy. that doesn t give them any because they re not going to be victims, and so you look at the problem we have now with immigration. people on the left immediately characterize it as a moral problem of a people of color being oppressed, once again. therefore, we have, you know, it falls on us as liberals to somehow redeem america from its abuse of people like this. there s a lot of power. i mean, it is there s so much power, and rewards are so
freedom, after 50, 60 years of freedom, why are we poor? well, whites have a bill coming due as well. why have you betrayed every principle that made you great, that made america great? why have you betrayed all that? in the name of what? in the name of your own innocence. your innocence is a corruption, it facilitates everything that s not good in the minority community. you are the problem now. as i say often, you know, the old-fashioned segregationists who called me the n word all the time when i was growing up, i prefer them any day to the modern white american liberal who exploits me and black americans for this moral authority that it then uses as
