The so called 'liberals' love needy helpless people on handouts to fuel the identity politics fire.

Its hard for anyone to get ahead when their own peers are holding them back. As long as you hold back achievers you won't look so bad yourself I suppose.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People addressed the Nov. 4 midterm elections this week in a statement that failed to make any mention of the historic wins of Congresswoman-elect Mia Love, R-Utah, and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C
Love is not only the first Haitian-American elected to Congress, but she is also the first black woman running as a Republican to be elected to Congress. Meanwhile, Sen. Scott's victory on Tuesday makes him the first African-American senator to win an election in the South since the Reconstruction.
GOP deputy press secretary Raffi Williams responded Thursday to the NAACP'S statment, issuing a series of tweets criticizing the organization for its failure to mark Love's and Scott's major wins.
“If the [NAACP] was a truly bipartisan org thay [sic] would support all blacks not just dem Blacks,” he said in a tweet. “I wish an org like the [NAACP] would support black ppl of ideologies. Unfortunately they are proving how out of date they are.”
The NAACP “should support all black ppl who are working to affect positive change in their communities. But they don't,” he added.
