Civil Rights for Real
by: James F. Davis and Malcolm A. Kline, August 19, 2005





Accuracy in Academia summer conference attendees got a chance to hear from an eloquent representative of a persecuted minority on American college campuses.

Black conservative author and entrepreneur Mason Weaver (pictured) travels the rocky road of the college lecture circuit about 50 times a year, with a standing offer to debate all liberal professors who disagree with him. “They don’t want to debate a 50-year-old man,” says the author of It’s Okay to Leave the Plantation. “They want to spread their gospel to 20-year-old kids trapped in their classrooms.”

Weaver graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and goes back to his alma mater as a visiting lecturer. These visits keep him up-to-date on campus orthodoxy. “Liberalism is a religion,” Weaver concludes. “Liberals view conservatives as interrupting their sermon.”

Weaver gives his audiences a provocative challenge. “If the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, why aren’t you trying to find out what the rich are doing to get rich and applying yourself to do the same?,” Weaver asks rhetorically. “Has it ever occurred to you that everything we have came from a rich person?”

“Rich people create new jobs,” Weaver explains. “We should have a holiday to celebrate rich people.” “They get rich producing things that you and I need and want.”




This bears repeating over, and over, and over again.

Horray for rich people! Horray for the priviledged few who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths!

Now, people who have made their fortunes I do think should be celebrated, but that is just a small portion of the rich. Most who are wealthy were either born into it or had all sorts of doors opened to them due to financial or political ties. The American Dream of some poor pennyless immigrant turning into a biollionaire is very rare.

Why do the rich get richer? Because they have money to invest, usually have an education (or can afford to get one), and can spend time pondering their portfolio instead of worrying if they'll be able to put bread on the table each night.

Of course we should encourage the poor to educate themselves and let them in on some financial tricks that may help their situation. Of course we should discourage welfare bums. Of course we should cheer when a rich person donates a large sum of money to charity. But to celebrate the rich for being rich is kind of silly.

90% of the rich in this country are SELF made, the other 10% are indeed born to it.

But to generalize about it, just shows jealousy over the fact that you have been unable to do it.

I have yet to make my first million, but I am WORKING on it, and by god, I will!!

By learning from those that have done it, not punishing them.
