The Culture Of The Smug White Liberal

174. Derisive name-calling is what immediately shuts down the conversation.

I've lived in the DC area most of my life, including a long stint in PG County. I've gone to school with blacks, played sports with blacks, ridden public transportation with blacks, worked with blacks, socialized with black coworkers, volunteered with blacks. After nearly four decades of this interaction, I think I have a *fairly* good understanding -- note *fairly.* I see successful, educated blacks around me every day, with close-knit, supportive families. I also see the total opposite and wonder where it all went wrong (it *ain't* the fault of smug white liberals).

At least conservatives have the balls to slam liberals and mean it. This weasely "not all" or "it wasn't directed at you" is lame. The HuffPo piece screams personal issues: some white liberal done the author wrong, and she's taken out her poison pen to slam an entire group. I happened upon a conservative blogger who picked up Johnson-Huston's piece, and her beef is with smug white liberals living in Brooklyn lofts. LOL Jesus, what a pair.

Huh, I just decided to do some digging:

Unfortunately, it was too great a cultural chasm to have a roommate with a million dollar home on the Main Line. Johnson-Huston flunked out after the first year.

Born into poverty, mother was a heavy drug user, lost home, sent to live with grandmother on West Coast, worked as a domestic, earned a scholarship to a Philly university, but flunked out because a roommate lived in a million dollar house in Bryn Mawr. Yeah, now we're getting somewhere.
