The Progressive Left regularly accuses conservatives of racism. Never mind that it’s a lie. If a slander is repeated long enough and loud enough the label sticks. But not without unfortunate consequences for society as a whole.
 
In this Washington Times piece, Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. of Milwaukee Co., WI exposes Leftism as a sadistic ideology, the new racism; ultimately destructive of the black community ~

Every attempt liberals have made to help black people, with their reliance on government-centered public-policy ideas, has worsened their lot in life. The family structure, once a foundation of the black community pre-1960, is in shambles. More black children grow up without a stable father in their lives as black men have been estranged from their children and emasculated by welfare policies. On top of that, more black people are living in poverty than ever before, our kids are chained to failing urban schools and more young black men are unemployed and in jail and prison. Liberal public policies and ideology have fostered this. Daniel Patrick Moynihan predicted it more than 50 years ago in his well-publicized report, “The Negro Family.” Fifty years later, the situation is worse than even he predicted.
 
Liberals call their ideology compassionate. I call it hateful. You would have to absolutely loathe black people to want to keep them mired in generational poverty and ignorance, living in ghettos with high unemployment, with their kids shackled to failing K-12 urban school systems and crime-ridden neighborhoods just to secure a permanent voting majority and to hang onto political power. This is borderline sociopathic behavior.

That the charge of racism against conservatives has no basis in reality matters not at all. “Social justice” sounds like a noble cause, ergo it must be advanced. To the tragic detriment of the very demographic that Progressives claim they want to help.
