Does race trump truth? In a confrontation between police and perpetrators, what is more important? Facts or skin color? When protests morph into riots, do we excuse bad behavior based on race? If we do, how are we ever going to end racism? Chloe Valdary, a student at the University of New Orleans, confronts these critical questions and offers a compelling answer.
In a revealing new video posted by Chloe Valdary, a student at the University of New Orleans and a conservative activist who happens to be black, she explained that treating blacks with “kid gloves” while they’re doing wrong, just because they’re black, is “demeaning and condescending.”
“Anyone, whether white or any other color, who excuses blacks for bad behavior just because they are black obviously don’t consider blacks their equal. Rather, they view blacks, in effect, as children who are unable to adhere to the standards to which every other group is held,” she said.
“The only difference between this view and that of white supremacists is that white supremacists are honest and open: In their view blacks are inferior to whites. Period,” she added. “But those who condescend to blacks cloak themselves in self-righteousness.”
